Global GT Challenge Proxy - Round 7 - Isle of Man - 12th July 2025
.
It’s hot…it’s sunny…it’s a wonderful day for a proxy and the chance to drive some fabulous cars setup by other people.
.
First of all thanks to all you guys who have spent time setting cars up for this proxy, to Graham for organising some great proxy themes, to the clubs and home track owners who host the various rounds of this proxy and to the various sponsors who generously donate prizes for this and other Slot car proxies.
…and secondly, this is the most enjoyable proxy we at the Manx Slot Car Club have entered so far, the overall standard of car builds is way higher than those of previous proxies.  The cars are just so enjoyable to drive.
.
The cars were matched up in reverse current championship order with Modified Standard cars going first, Revoslots going next, then a break for dinner as that was half way through the event, then finishing off with the Pro cars.
.
We had some amazing side-by-side races, not daring to try and overtake as the track has tight areas.
I was hugely impressed by the performance of some motors, the ‘Spanish King’ motors with pink wrappers are superb, smooth and progressive.  I also liked the performance of the Scaleauto motors, it seems they don’t have a ‘racey’ reputation but they’re great motors.
.
I don’t think there was a favourite car this time round as there were many to choose from but we did have a new proxy lap record today, previously held by Ade’s Scaleauto Porsche 911 in the GT Sports Cars Slotting Proxy with a 6.06” hot lap…
…smashed today by Kev driving Andy’s Kremer Porsche, 5.83” is a fast lap, we are into NSR Mosler lap time territory on this track.
.
...and so to the results...

Videos to come include the car previews and racing footage, this time we added a GoPro camera looking down from the other end of the room, I’ll see if I can cut this into part of the screen whilst editing the video over the coming days.
.
..and that’s it for Round 7 of the Global GT Challenge Proxy 2025…on Monday the cars will be on their way to the last round of this proxy…they think it’s all over…not just yet!
