Finally Event 3:

   

   

Not much separating the top 3.  The Chaparral of Sam D is quick, but has a tendency to tip at the limit (even after it jettisoned its rear wing).  By contrast the Ferrari of Roadrunners and the GT40 of LeManx were both smooth and very easy to drive.

Modsports GT40 MKIV is smooth but very heavy which dulls its punch a little.  

Ruscillo's Ford GT40 and ALS' McLaren are both easy to drive but lack the overall pace of the top 3.

Bangers Ford P68 seemed uncharacteristically off pace as his cars tend to fly around here.  Investigation after showed that one tyre is rubbing (albeit lightly) on the redundant motor shaft.  The other tyre is also contacting the pinion and the body.  I guess this could be resolved by cutting the redundant motor shaft off one side, and pushing the pinion on further on the other.  From what I can see, the rear wheel is already as close as it can get to the spur gear, so the only way to limit the tyre on the body will be to reduce body and/or pod float, or to shave the tyre a little.  Either way, I'm leaving it for now until I'm told otherwise...

   

   

   

BARacer's Ferrari was quite light on grip which hindered his performance here and Lifeboats Lotus lacked the grip and punch of the others.

Then there's MikeB's Chaparral.  This started with very little grip and seemed to lose what it had over the course of the race distance.  With some different rear tyres this could be more competitive
