 Good Morning,

well another round completed and another set of results, which means that it is still all to play for in most of the classes. 
Well done and many thanks to the SMSRC 

So the combined results at Stage 1-6

   

   

   


And the overall Stage 6 fastest laps

   

So tomorrow I will post my Pitlane Review, what happened to the Team RNLI Carrera Ferrari, I guess that one will have to return to the Entrant for repairs.

And then its on to "Goldrock" in Burnley, home of Team Cube to put the cars through the S-Bends of the Scalextric Sport track

a few pictures of 'Goldrock'
looking forward to receiving the cars 

           

Scalextric sport track 72' ( analogue )
i will be using the outside lane 
there are 2x elevation changes , but there have never been any guide issues  
variable power supply 
Tru speed BP II controller 
Ultimate Racer timing with IR light bridge ( thanks Leo )

the trickiest part Goldrock is the downhill section just before the esses , fully expect a few cars to get caught out here 
otherwise Goldrock can favour the quicker cars

Obviously any feedback is only based in what works well for this track and a proxy is always going to be a compromise between the different types of tracks but hope it sheds some light.

The rear screw on the back of the 997 GT3RS, should not be that loose. It needs to be snug to limit chatter,  with a small amount of body float.   Thank you for the video.

Ah ok, makes sense, it still ran quite well, the cars are all packed up now for the courier but hopefully the next hope can nip the screw up a bit if it is not as it should be .

Thank you! You guys are all doing a phenomenal job hosting and moving cars along to the next host. Again congratulations to you and that little Notchback with the stroker motor.

It was a pleasure, your Camaro was a fantastic steer and I think will prove to be the better car overall but it was satisfying to get a heat win, even if it was at the expense of making a car too idiosyncratic to do well at every track.

Graham runs a tight ship, so credit for the smooth running must go to him.

Thanks Tatter for the coverage and congratulations to the podium sitters. Great to see the cars tackle another very different track. I'm wondering if my Ninco Lamborghini is also suffering a little from the body screws working loose. I wasn't expecting a phenomenal performance on the wood track stages, but it seems to have fallen off a cliff of late and the late two hosts have mentioned the possibility of some kind of rubbing/binding occurring. I wonder if OXO Cube would be kind enough to check the body screws for me (think it should be 1/4 turn off at the rear, 1/2 at the front - it says under the car) as there was a very fine line between getting some float and the wheels contacting the rear arches with that car.  If the screws have moved, would it also be possible to plug the holes with some blu-tac to help prevent it happening again?

That reminds me Ade, the rear axle/bearing had popped out when I first took it out the box, it went back in fine though, clearances looked ok on the shakedown but I didn't run that class.
