It's going to be an honour to be take part in the next competition and I really don't expect to get beyond the shootout. But, as the old saying goes, you've got to be in it to sneak through in 27th place...

My car had 8 podiums and 2 fourth place finishes.  Not good enough!

This is my best finish in the 6 years I’ve been in this proxy.  I’ve typically run the same car 2 seasons in a row with minor improvements that create huge gains. I also had to qualify in in 2020 and built the car to qualify not to race the proxy, I feel was a mistake looking back.  This years 991 Porsche GT3 which finished 11th in 2020 due to a broken guide in the finale, had a few minor changes for 2021 and a shot at finishing #5.  


30k motor down from 32k…. Remember you are building a car for OTHERS to drive 

A thicker wood guide as my car weighs 93grams versus a Slot It plastic track guide. 

I ran 6 practice laps and sent the car back in. 

That’s it, so DO NOT OVER THINK IT.

I think I have inevitably over-thought my first entry! 

And picking up on one point Mr Brumos, how did your 'qualifying' car differ from your race car?

And picking up on one point Mr Brumos, how did your 'qualifying' car differ from your race car?

When I had to qualify in I built a car solely for the shootout as I wanted to make the field.  I was  praying  SirF1Fan would be able to drive it during qualifying.  He put it on the pole!!!! That said the car was fast, too fast and was difficult to drive during the 10 races.  I pulled the 32k motor, the 2020 winning car built by SirCgyRacer, used a 25k motor, mine was over kill.  This season, a change to a 30k motor was the guess as the car is 93-96 grams. The only other change was a wood guide after I cracked one guide and snapped a 2nd one in the finale.  We will see what changes are needed when the car returns to improve drivability if it returns.  Also, a plastic chassis is plenty, hybrid chassis are not needed to compete.

I just posted a post proxy reveal video of the top ten GT3 cars.  I hope this video can help some builders with their future GT3 slot cars or any other slot car.

So Heli_ca went loose with is body and chassis and his pod and dominated!

Doesn't that go against all perceived wisdom for wood track car preparation?
