Manx Slot Car Club - Saloons followed by Sports - 3rd July 2025

Saloons

SlotIt Opel Calibras would seem an obvious choice for this class as they go well, thankfully we see a wild and varied selection of cars and classes.

• Ed’s Back2Basics Ninco Opel looks easy to drive, is consistent and so gets plenty of track time.
  
• Brian & Kev raced aforementioned SlotIt Opels but do have alternatives for this class. As expected, both cars went very well indeed.
  
• Chris’s Honda Civic is somewhere inbetween the B2B and Standard Class cars and is always his first choice for this class and has been a great race car since he put it together.
  
• Andy & Mike usually race Open Class cars, tonight Andy chose one of his Peugeot 406’s whilst Mike raced a Capri (which the scrutineer failed to realise was a Group 5 as they have their own race series).

Moslers, Moslers everywhere…well that used to be the case but not everyone’s first choice any more as personal favourites seem to be the norm.

• No Back2Basics cars this week but a trio of Standard Class cars headed by Brian’s NSR Mosler, from Chris’s Revoslot Mercedes GT1 which has turned into a smooth runner then Ed’s borrowed NSR Ford GT40 which is ‘on loan with option-to-buy’ and was warned the price would go up a fiver every time it was touched by a marshal (it got expensive by the end of the night).
  
• Kev’s Modified Class Thunderslot Mclaren M6A was rescued from the scrap merchants and now turned into a race rocket.
  
• Andy & Mike again opting for Open Class cars, Mike with his resin bodied UOP Shadow DN4 (which seems to go better every time he brings it to race) with Andy choosing to race his proxy Corvette C3 which for a car with a 22k motor limit and 10mm wide tyres is a great race car.
