Race report and results - 27th November 2025 - F1 followed by Group 5
.
A full house tonight…YAY!... with some super racing and the chance to see some new cars.
.
F1

   
.
The chance to see an NSR 2022 in action, an early pressie for Jamie, setup by Andy… it’s fair to say it looks more stable and sure-footed than the earlier NSR F1’s.
.

• NSR F1’s for all but two of us
  
• Kev & Andy racing for Open Class honours
  
• …everyone else racing for best ProStock honours
  

.
Yes these a quick!... one in particular too quick to control fully as Andy’s Ligier was at right angles to the direction of travel at times but the fastest car down the main straight all night.
Kev’s MB/Allslot ‘Black Bull’ was quick enough to keep clear and ‘feels slow’ apparently… to have a comfortable lead at the end.
.
The NSR F1’s - Brian was chuffed with his cars performance, two good runs in Yellow and Blue lanes.
.
Jamie & Mike finished about half a second apart overall, that’s a brilliant advert for the new NSR F1.
Chris seemed to have a lot of problems with his F1 which enabled Ed to get dangerously close at the end.
Gav best run by far was in Yellow lane.

   
.
Group 5

   
.

• Mostly Racer Group 5’s, Chris’s Skyline was the only standard car, the rest had SlotIt pods.  The new class rules say these are now all ProStocks so maybe best upgrading standard cars with SlotIt pods to keep up (plus they go better anyway).
  
• Two non-Racer cars, Kev’s MRRC Toyota Celica in Modified Class and Jamie’s Carrera Pantera in Open Class
  

.
The midfield is where the real excitement is, Chris, Brian, Mike & Jamie trying to beat each other, it’s often down to the last lap between them.  Tonight Chris’s Skyline had a safe distance to the trio of chasing cars.
.
Gav’s Capri was handling like a caravan, one of the two body screws fallen out (TAPE! ) so we threw a yellow flag to check the car over, cleaned the tyres and carried on…
…this gave Ed’s Porsche the chance to get away with a heat win and two second places. 
.
Andy’s Capri was too quick to catch whilst Kev’s Toyota showed what a carefully upgraded basic car can do.
