Race results and report - 12th September 2024 - Grand Prix & Prewing F1 followed by Small Sports/Saloons
.
Racing these two classes was always going to be a relatively slow night as these are the two slowest classes overall (ignoring TV/Film cars) but great racing was still enjoyed and watched.
.
Grand Prix & Prewing F1

   
.
Four classes were represented tonight:

• Andy’s Ferrari 156 in Open Prewing F1 Class
  

• Mike B’s Mercedes W196 in Open Grand Prix Class
  

• Kev’s Mercedes W165 in Modified Grand Prix Class
  

• Brian & Ed racing Cartrix Lancia/ Lancia Ferrari D50’s in Standard (B2B) Class
  

The best race was the last heat with Brian, Ed & Mike B having a yellow flag half way through as Brian’s Lancia Ferrari threw a guide braid…swapped for his trusty Vanwall and race commenced…that Ed won with his ‘re-built-from-a-box-of-scrap’ Lancia D50.

   
.
Small Sports/Saloons

   
.
Small Saloons seem popular recently, only one Small Sports tonight as the rest were hard-tops.
.
Standard Class has never been popular in Small Sports/Saloons but thanks to Revoslot there’s a range of cars that are actually really competitive.
Kev & Brian racing Alfa GTAm’s, Kev’s fully sorted, Brian’s is getting better as he’s taking on board things to do to make it go better.
.
Mike’s 3D Moggy Racer is welcome every day of the week in this class and sat somewhere between Brian’s Alfa and Ed’s Metro in overall performance.  Heat #5 against Ed’s Metro saw the Moggy win comfortably.
.
Open Class was a bit of a mismatch, Andy’s AC Cobra against Ed’s Metro…Andy’s Cobra has gone great since it first hit the track a few weeks ago, unfortunately Ed’s Metro had no chance but he gave it his best shot.
