Event 2:

   

   

   

Again, no surprise to see Bangers on the top spot... That guy really knows how to polish a turd (and is clearly the master of setting up an HRS2 Chassis!). His cars normally perform very well here.  Honestly wasn't expecting to see my little Escort on the podium, but it was born, bred and setup here so I think the home field advantage came into play a little... Chuffed nevertheless. Makem's Camaro was another worthy podium sitter. It sounds like a bag of spanners, but you can throw it around the track at great pace.  Any other day, Brumos' BMW could have been up there. It had the pace, but just wasn't quite as predictable on the limit in the bends.

Deadheads Rover SD1 - This is quite possibly the smoothest car I've ever driven and it is very stable... But, either the motor is on the way out or something else is occurring. The car just had no pace.  We briefly stuck it on the rolling road after (a snail's pace sighting lap) which perked it up a bit, and arguably it continued to pick up a little as the race distance went on, but there is definitely something amiss.

Lifeboats Alfa and its excessive rear axle play - Before racing, the car was tested very cautiously and was making noises that none of us liked the sound of, so to prevent the risk of stripping the spur gear, we took the decision to move one rear wheel inward to limit the play before running the car in anger. This seemed to do the trick and the gear meshed much nicer from this point.  It was also noted that the interior tray is fouling the rear tyre. All in all, the car has potential, but the setup didn't suit this track.

BARacer - Your Capri seemed to stutter in places "feels like he's got dirt in his carburettors" was the most apt description. Braids were thoroughly cleaned but the problem persisted. Braids are quite thick and stiff which may be a contributing factor but without opening the car up we cant really confirm or deny what's occurring.
