Stage Three: Friston Forest
Stage winner: Oliver Walker, SRC Porsche 914/6 GT
Friston Forest is simply wonderful with its trees. Very eye-catching, but also a little more tricky to drive. First through this time was Group C. Mike made a strong start and it was the NSR Punto that was fastest of his three cars with 43.6, followed by the SRC Peugeot 205 T16 and then a slightly out-of-sorts Porsche 914/6. Terry's Ferrari dropped in three seconds behind Mike's slowest car, just ahead of the Scaleauto RS200. Not far behind was Kevin's Ninco Lancer, nearly five seconds ahead of Stephen's Ninco Focus WRC. However, Stephen was the quickest of the club car guys by eight seconds - Philip leading the chasing pack and all sharing a Scalextric Mitusbishi Lancer.
Group B were the second group on the stage. Ollie clocked an excellent 51.92 with his Ninco Subaru - slotting in just behind Terry's Ferrari from the previous group. Stephen's new SCX Fiat 124 Abarth Spyder was next, looking really smooth through the trees and tight corners and finishing a couple of tenths ahead of Ollie's Ninco Peugeot 306. Fourth quickest of the group through Friston Forest was Mike's Dakar Pajero - quite remarkable!
And then it was Group A. Oliver successfully jumped into the stage lead by 1.41 seconds with his SRC Porsche, but was significantly slower with his other two cars. Jeremy was more consistent - his SRC Lancia Delta S4 slotting in to third and the Peugeot 208 into fifth. Jeremy's new Alpine was a few seconds further back, on pretty much the same time as Rob Bean's Citroën C4 and Rob Allison's SRC Porsche 914/6. Rob A's RS200 was the fastest of the Scalextric runners on the stage, just ahead of Scott's SCX Škoda Fabia, which would sit third in category behind two Fiat Spyders.
Last but not least were Group D. Andy grabbed the three quickest times for the group - his Subaru going third overall, the Porsche also having a good run to fifth and the little SCX Fiat Spyder just beating Stephen's similar car. Fourth quickest was Chas' Avant Slot Ferrari, almost ten seconds ahead of Steve's Puma and the lovely Teamslot Seat 1430, which had its best run of the evening by far. John had a stage to forget, the unforgiving forest offering his cars no mercy.
