Racewarsuk.co.uk uk's only commercial raceway?
#4

Its fair to say that the provided cars were a challenge. 
Racewars is set up so that everything is provided .
This way , corporate events can be hosted. 

However, I got there a little early and rammed a few of my own cars around the lighthouse track with my own controller. The most enjoyable to drive was the policar lotus classic f1. The Long can motored cars were unable to put the power down, spinning up the wheels with the slightest provocation.  I'm guessing that the track surface needed wiping down. I tried F22, NSR Ultra, NSRred and and Ortmanns. F22 seemed to work best. 

If the club heads up to racewars again, we will choose a class of racing and take our own cars and controllers.
The challenge will be adapting the cars for wood racing (Nascot is Ninco track) and adjusting the guides for the recessed copper braided track rails. 

The big learning from the evening was how much time we normally waste on a club night, barely managing 6x3 minute races per member over the whole evening,
At racewars, race control is automated. If you're late, you'll miss the start. 
We did 6x3minutes on 3 tracks. Three times the racetime we normally get. 

Racewars provided a dedicated member of staff per track for advice and marshaling.
The bar was well stocked. The parking was 50p for the whole evening.

The biggest benefit of using this venu is the sheer floorspace they have. 
This would be a great venue for inter club,  national and international events.
