Pete leapfrogs Oliver and Andy to lead the club championship at a quarter distance - but there's a long way to go! The dropped score puts Keith and Deborah squarely in the frame. And there are racers like John and Gareth who are still rusty after a long lay off from racing and I expect to score strongly as the season goes on. Plus, if Darren decides to make the Barn his monthly slot car racing fix, he'll always be there or thereabouts in F1 and Nascar, only needing a Viper to be a bona fide championship contender.

   

The Rookie championship looks equally tight. The scoring system rewards rookie racers in relation to each other - so Ozzy only got one more point than Russell, despite being ten places ahead in the finals. That's going make sure it's a fascinating battle for the prestigious titles of 'Rookie of the Year' and 'Junior Rookie'.

So that's a wrap on Wednesday's F1 action. Huge thanks to everyone who came along to race and especially to the set-up and tear-down crews. The absolute star of the show was Ash - who kept the evening ticking over at a good pace and kept those all important paper back-ups of the race data. 99 times out of 100, we don't need the back-up... but when we do, it's invaluable work done. Thanks Ash!

The next HO event at the Barn is the return of WHO Mod on Wednesday 3 April, which is our Easter holiday race this year. The lexan-shod Vipers compete for the win and the hard-body WHO Tuners sub-class includes the Mega-G+ club cars. The track is another of Simon's from the archives - this time from April 2018...

   

And before that, our Scalextric digital racing shifts to the 2024 WHO GT Championship, starting with a 2-hour team endurance race on Wednesday 20 March.
