Race report and results - 21st August 2025 - Club Revoslots followed by Grand Prix & Prewing F1 cars
.
Four club members tonight for a good mix of racing.
.
Club Revoslots

   
.
Get the boxes out, take the cars out, put them on the track…race!!!
These have been great cars, the only thing that needs replacing are the guide braids which had literally worn away on the blue Viper.
…dropping the car and breaking the rear wing doesn’t count as ‘fair wear & tear’ (no names mentioned! )
.
Like the other club cars with no tyre prep, the first race of each car tends to be it’s slowest as the top skin on the tyres face needs a few minutes of running and cleaning to be at their best, which is usually the last race for each car.
.
Red Porsche - fast and snatchy at times
Yellow Marcos - quick enough everywhere to be top dog and the most predictable of the three
Blue Viper - smoothest of the three but ‘feels’ like it’s about to roll in every corner
.
Five minute heats with some enjoyable races saw Kev finish top, Andy with the fastest lap and best single lane score and Mike & Brian only a tenth of a second off the hot pace and not far behind at the end.

   
.
Grand Prix (no Prewing F1’s tonight)

   
.
Brian was really looking forward to racing his ‘Kev prepped’ Cartrix Lancia Ferrari D50 in the Back2Basics class and it went really nicely and managed a 7.3 second lap.
.
Kev raced his Modified Class Merc W154 that was built for the recent Mike Dove Memorial Classic GP, a bit more lead in the front end kept it in the slot a bit better but still caught out in the sharp Red lane corners a few times.
.
Andy & Mike racing Open Class cars, Andy’s Falcon powered Alfa Bimotore has no brakes, can’t stop, won’t slow down readily… did we say it has no brakes?... but there’s no getting away from the fact that it’s quick! 
.
…Mike always enjoys driving the little Connaught which had it’s best run in Yellow lane and managed a score not far behind Brian’s D50
