The final round of the Goodwood Revival Proxy has been run...

First off, thanks to Ed and Brian for running proceedings, marshalling and pausing the races during track calls.

Secondly thanks to all you guys who entered this fantastic proxy, the cars were generally better setup than for any previous proxy we have entered that  Graham has organised and it was the most enjoyable proxy to drive so far.

Thirdly, there were no car failures today, the repairs done yesterday resulted in a clean run of racing today:

• ALS Camaro - rear axle wandering...I moved the spacers inboard between the crown gear and bearing, it was as though they were sized to fit absolutely perfectly!
  
• Ed's Camaro - the guide mount was perilously close to total failure, how it survived I'll never know but I reinforced the area with superglue & bicarb powder (this is in the car review video I'll upload this week).
  
• 3 or 4 cars braids were badly folded over, I think this is due to the size of the hole in the plastic base plates.
  
• Front wheel grubscrew was missing on one of the cars yesterday, I can't remember which one, it's also in the review video but I fitted a new one.
  

During my last few car reviews there's been one car that's stood out as one to watch and that car has indeed performed admirably, this time however there was no standout car as the overall standard has been raised.

   

The cars were run in event order, in pairs (apart from Event 1 with an odd number of cars), the car with the lowest number of points going first, the car with the highest number of points going last.

We didn't run qually, preferring to do a couple or three practice laps to tune the controller settings in.

Races were 2 minutes on Yellow lane (driven by Andy) plus 2 minutes on Blue lane (driven by myself).

The last two cars to race were Le Manx GT40 and RoadRunners Ferrari 330 to decide the winner of Event 3.
