Race report and results - 20th March 2025 - Grand Prix followed by Saloons
.
Grand Prix

   
.
It was a bit quiet tonight, enough to fill the grid…but no marshals…so it was a case of “TRACK” (other words and phrases were also heard as a car left the drivers lane…not all repeatable in public)
.
Six minutes was chosen as the length of the heats which would allow for lots of interruptions whilst still getting decent track time.
.
Brian started the Grand Prix event with a yellow Lancia Ferrari D50 and swapped it for his trusty Vanwall after the Lancia jumped out of the slot, bounced off the corner barrier and into the wrong lane then proceeded at full chat up the short start/finish straight then flew right across the track bouncing an inch in front of Kev’s Mercedes then being planted back in the correct lane to discover one rear wheel wasn’t touching the track which brought out the Yellow flags.
…the Vanwall finished off the race and event without a hitch.
.
Ed’s Lancia D50 is quick and consistent enough to give other drivers a run for their money, Brian couldn’t keep up with it when he was racing the Lancia Ferrari.
.
Other than that and the umpteen deslots, the rest of the Grand Prix racing was fine…
…until it was time to save the race results and the computer program refused to save the results as it couldn’t ‘find’ the appropriate file to export it to…I’ll have to go in on Thursday morning and reload the program

Saloons

   
.
It was time for Ed’s trusty Ninco Opel as a B2B runner and was joined by Kev’s B2B SCX Mercedes DTM.
Brian chose to race his SlotIt Opel Calibra and must have been favourite for overall top score…but not to be, needing one and three quarter laps in the last race whilst in the Blue lane to catch Kev’s Merc in the Red lane, he got half a lap ahead then threw the lead away, did the same later in the race and towards the final few laps only finished a few car lengths ahead, ah well, maybe next time.
.
Ed drove his Opel well, managing to get in the low 7’s, he’s getting a few cars that are now really good runners.
.
The results are taken from the video as mentioned earlier, something isn’t right with the computer program.
