Race report and results - 27th February 2025 - Italian Cars Team Race
.
Everyone brought at least two different Italian cars tonight…except Brian who only has one eligible car in racing fettle so he ran the SlotIt Maserati twice, in two different teams.
.
Although Ed had two different cars, he was allowed to run a Cartrix Grand Prix car and a Saturday Scalextric Club Ninco Lamborghini (with magnet) because a) He’d forgotten about his SlotIt Ferrari, and b) His other car had a gearbox failure.
.
Everyone ran 3 qually laps, the slowest qualifier had first pick of team-mate, next slowest had next choice and so-on until there were two cars left which happened to be Andy’s Thunderslot Ferrari 350 and Kev’s SCX Ferrari 550 Maranello at that point someone commented “that’ll be tough to beat!”
.
Racing was run in two halves, we raced our number 1 cars first then our number 2 cars but with the heat lineups changed.
.
Teams chosen were as follows:
Ed 2 & Gav 2
Ed 1 & Chris 1
Gav 1 & Brian 1
Brian 2 & Andy 2
Chris 2 & Kev 1
Kev 2 & Andy 1
.
There were some good races over the course of the evening and with no out-and-out racing specials it gave those racing slower cars a chance to enjoy their races.
.
…so which team was runner-up to Andy & Kev’s Ferraris?...see the results chart
.
…videos to follow as we also had the Saturday Scalextric Club this week
.

.
Next week is Small Sports/Saloons followed by NSR Mosler ‘Club Challenge 2025 #2’
