After a full Sunday lunch, he's probably fallen asleep in front of the TV, that's a common occurrence for me at least

Or he's watched the F1 parade and fell asleep...easily done when the gap to the 2nd team is a third of a lap.

Good evening
I started at 9am and finished at 7pm
And that was running only 10 laps for each car on both the Rally and Tarmac stages....... me thinks it was far too many laps. But I also tried to video every cars run on the Rally stage which I think extends the time quite alot. Not yet had a look my efforts with that, but I suspect there is alot of editing to do.
But boy, do have some results for you ..........
But just before I do, I would like the entrants to think about the best presented car award, I have posted the photos of all the cars, so I would like you to let me know by email or pm your choice for the best presented top 3 cars in 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices from any of the 4 Events please. I will collect the votes between now and the end of the series. Obviously you can't vote for your own cars.
Results coming next

Ok, I need to repeat the Tarmac Stage run again tomorrow morning.
Sadly I recorded the "fastest" lap rather than the actual 10 lap time for the Tarmac run

Can you work out the times from your videos?
Or multiple fastest lap by 10 to get a time?
I love puttering with gears

That doesn't allow for deslots or slow laps...not a good idea

It’s ok, I will run the Tarmac stage again in the morning, it won’t take very long.
The Rally was fine, it would have been quite obvious at that stage. But having moved the timer to the Carrera track for the Tarmac stage in my haste I must have not set it right.
Then I was into running the cars continuously without really thinking about what I was recording.
A bad case of brain fade I am afraid, if someone else had been there they no doubt would have tapped me on the head or something

Thanks Graham it’s a mammoth task to complete on your own as well as videoing too. RESPECT for you having a go.. I think if it took me that long I would have serious frowns from the other half over the time spent ‘“fannying around with slot cars “ ????? especially on a weekend .
It’s not that hard to wait until Monday especially as we had all the F1 and Indy racing not to mention Footy on too.
Red Bull had a run away but Aston Martin had a very entertaining race indeed ..
I look forward to your results and it is interesting on the time it is taking might have to consider the length of the runs.. ??
