Race reports - 4th January 2024 - Club Revoslots plus Grand Prix & PreWing F1
.
A new year and a new race calendar.
The race calendar has a couple of new additions for 2024, one was trialled last week with the Targa Florio and looks like a good idea and will be repeated again 3 times.  The other is a brand new idea with the focus on fun rather than racing…TV & film cars which is on the calendar 4 times.
.
Heats tonight were 5 minutes, 2 drivers per race.
.
CLUB REVOSLOTS + club controllers
.
These are remarkably good for a club car series, the tyres have superb grip on our track and are now in their 3rd year of use with little signs of wear.
.
The closest race was the final one, Heat #6 as Brian (Blue Viper) lapped Mike B (Red Porsche) once.
.
Kev, Brian & Mike B managed their best score with the yellow Marcos whilst Ed did best with the Viper.
.
Heat wins in heat order for Kev, Brian & Mike B.

.
GRAND PRIX & PRE-WING F1
.
Now for a change of pace as these have to be driven carefully…as the marshals found out!
.
Heat #2 was good viewing, Brian’s Vanwall needs new tyres and doesn’t look as stable as usual which meant Ed had a chance with his Lancia Ferrari D50…it was close…another lap and he would have caught the Vanwall as that gap was quickly closing as you will see in the video.
.
Brian was involved in another close race, Heat #6, the last race of the evening, Vanwall in the Yellow lane chasing Mike’s Connaught in the Red lane, whilst not as close and exciting a finish as Heat #2 was, nonetheless close enough with the Connaught winning by just under a lap.
.
Kev’s hefty Alfa Bimotore must be wearing those tyres down but it rarely falls off the track, had a best run in Heat #3 in the Yellow lane.
.
Heat wins in heat order for Kev, Brian & Mike B

--------------------------------------------

Next week is Small Sports/Saloons followed by F1 (including Classic F1).  As Brian was asking when we’re next racing Classic F1’s maybe we’ll see his Lotus 72 (or is it a Ferrari 312 B2) in action!
