Annual 2CV Grand Prix
#1

One  of the "sillier " highlights of the SSRC season tonight,  The Annual 2CV Grand Prix  Wrench

Four of SCX 's awesome little Citroen 2CV's,  on the Routed Raceway.   Even at 10 volts these have a mind of their own.....

Quick no,  Fun Yes  Thumbup   10 lap heats with the combined time for all 4 heats deciding places in the step up Finals.

Great idea.
It will be hard not to flip these cars and still be fast!

Thanks Hub Thumbup

They have had a little bit of "tweaking" this time around, now they only tend to fall over on the corners.....
Before, it was the straights as well    Rofl

Very cool idea. The real ones are a hoot to watch during hard cornering.

My money is on the yellow one.  Checkeredflag

Maybe an SCX Fiat/SEAT Panda race would be funny? Idea 
Given their height, you don't expect these cars to have such good road holding.
Of course not comparable to a Le Mans race car.

Well the Annual 2CV Grand Prix was certainly close.

12 drivers raced, and the top 3 were covered by just 0.9 of a second after their 4 heats. 

Step up Finals were fun, but its still difficult to get all four 2CV 's running  equally speed and handling wise.  Highest seed in each Final got the choice of lane, but cars were drawn randomly.....

Hope you didn't put too much money on the Yellow one Ken, the White French Ambulance car was generally winning,  but the Blue "2CV Cross" entry took the Grand Prix Final. 

Great fun, and nice to race something so different.

Hi Hub 

Yes, Fiat / Seat Panda racing would also be good.  Anything that's top heavy, doesn't handle and is fun  Thumbup

We also race the Scalextric BMW Mini's as a club class, with only the original tyres.  They spend as much time going sideways as forwards.  A good leveller of driving skills, and very cheap. £8 or less at a swap meet.

It was a bit of a" Fun Night " yesterday evening. 
GT CUP to start as always- modern Scalextric GT3 type models, from a list of eligible vehicles, with Urethane rear tyres fitted. 

Then the 2CV Grand Prix,  followed by Caravandalism 2.  Generic Scalextric GT cars with twin axle Caravans in tow. Awesome  Rofl

And I thought the colour yellow looked fast. Oh well.  Sun

I only bet myself a coffee. Now I need to pay up, and go make myself a coffee. I'm sure I'll win that coffee one of these days.  Thumbup
