Twenty-four racers took part in the first of two summer WHO Digital Nascar & Legends evenings at the Barn. We welcomed James T for his first taste of digital, with Simon M joining us for his first full evening of the WHO digital experience. We raced on a slightly tweaked version of the track Simon designed for our evening in February and proved a great layout for novices and experienced drivers alike...

   

As always, six teams were put together with a mix of young racers, top seeds and less experienced drivers. Six teams of four would race three 20-minute segments, swapping cars each time - the winners swapping with the sixth place team etc.

Segment One saw Ryan, Rob, Pete and Simon M tie with Ollie, Terry, Kev and Duncan with 87 laps, but it was Ryan's team that took the initiative in the middle segment. A huge 91 lap run with the red car gave them a five lap advantage over Ollie's quartet and seven laps ahead of Jerome, Andy, Stephen Mc and Kevin G. Those were the only team with a chance of the win going into the final 20 minutes...

   

The concluding segment was a close-run thing. The winners of the 20-minutes were Oliver, Simon C, Mike Mc and Rob A, equal on 90 lap with Ollie's team. However, Ryan, Rob B, Pete and Simon M rolled in just a lap behind, wrapping up the race by four laps...

   

Congrats to the winners, especially as they had one of our two new drivers! And well done to all the teams on yet another excellent Nascar team race...
