Race report and results - 16th Oct 2025 - Grand Prix & Prewing F1 followed by TV & Film Cars (handicap)
.
Six racers tonight for what was expected to be a comparatively slow evening as far as lap times are concerned, nevertheless we still had some good racing.
.
Prewing F1

   
.
Two Ferrari 156’s both Open Class cars.  Mike’s #3 car, Andy’s #2 car.
.
Grand Prix

   
.
Two Modified Class cars, Kev’s Cartrix Mercedes W196 and Brian’s Cartrix Lancia Ferrari D50 which had to be swapped for the trusty Vanwall for the 2nd & 3rd heats.
.
The other two cars were Ed’s Back2Basics Cartrix Lancia D50 and Jamie’s Open Class Mercedes W154.

   
.
TV & Film Cars

   
.
A ‘fun’ class for cars with simple mods, guide, tyres and ballast.
.
To stop people running away with tuning, there’s bonus laps for various standard features like lights, standard interior and windows and gears etc.
…there’s also a race bonus system based on the fastest cars, the slower the car the more race bonus laps.
Often the quicker cars are still at or near the top of the podium but that’s more consistency on the track.
For example the car finishing with the least laps was 19 laps down on the car with the most laps but after bonuses that gap was only 2.75 laps.
