Stage One: Friston Forest
Winner: Mike Dadson, SRC Peugeot 205 T16
The latest incarnation of Friston Forest retained some ice and mud sections. The SCX Classic track pieces offer low grip, combined with lots of tight inner radius corners and Scalextric Classic rally loops at each end. Two drivers failed to negotiate the shallow 6mm slot, their deep and pointy Scaleauto guide getting caught up. Otherwise everyone got round, although Ollie's Mini Cooper S struggled with grip and finished the 3 laps just 0.38 of a second inside the maximum time. It was later discovered that the Mini's rear axle wasn't fitted properly.
Three drivers were racing the club cars - a Scalextric Mitsubishi Lancer serving on Friston Forest. First blood went to Kevin, with James less than a second behind and Stephen 5 seconds back. Ten drivers were running SCX cars and eight Scalextric models in the two manufacturer's championships. Jeremy topped both on Friston Forest, his new Scalextric Puma WRC looking particularly rapid.
At the top, a mere four tenths separated Mike D's SRC Peugeot from Andy's Ninco Impreza. Indeed, Mike and Andy's cars filled the top 5 places on this stage - with Jeremy managing sixth, seventh and ninth. Eleven cars completed the stage in less than 50 seconds - the last of those just 8 seconds off the lead. An exciting battle was brewing for the overall victory and class honours.
