Arriving today was Team ALS cars, photo posted on the leading page.

I have received a 3rd car entry from Team ALS today, so I updated the team photo.

I have also updated the Entry list as a couple cars have been changed since last time.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Next weekend I will be running the qualifying Round on my home track to determine the running order or  seeding positions for the cars. However although this is essentially a Zero points round, I will be recording the finishing positions (as well as the fastest lap times of each car) which I would use to resolve any final position determinations should there be winning cars of equal points at the end of the 8 round series. This will avoid any necessity to organise a shootout 9th round just to resolve a potential issue for one or two cars.

ANNOUNCEMENT
I have changed the headings of the 3 car groupings as GP1(GT1), GP2 (GT2) & GP3 (LMP/Group C) for a couple of reasons.

The first is that a couple of cars received do not match the original listing on the Registration Form supplied, so that as it stands to date there is now only one Modified standard GT2  car (Bangers Racing Marcos) running in that  grouping. Having discussed this with Chris, he has agreed for the car to be designated a GP1 (GT1) car.
So in effect we will be running only Modified Standard cars in GP1 and GP3 (4 cars in each class category)

The categories are now
Revoslots
GP1 3 entries
GP2 5 entries
GP3 4 entries
Modified Standard RTR
GP1 4 entries
GP3 4 entries
Procar
GP1 7 entries
GP2 4 entries
GP3 9 entries


TOTAL
Revoslot 12, Modified Standard RTR 8, Procar 20

The 2nd reason being that it will be easier to display the results more clearly

Hi Graham,

The box of six Manx cars are due for delivery today 

[Kevan]

Box of cars has arrived apparently...

[Graham]

 Good afternoon,
I received the Sam D entry car yesterday, and the 3 Entry Manx club team cars today.

Unfortunately both the Batmanx Jaguar XJR9 and the Demon weeks Porsche Kremer wings had been damaged during transport when unpacked, so I glued them back on for the photoshoot, but as they are rather delicate I will not insist they remain in place for the full duration of the series should they get broken again.

[Kevan]

Is the box damaged? It's reinforced inside with a compartment for each car, each car is on a base and each car wrapped in two layers of bubblewrap...how did they get damaged?

[Kevan]

Ed's Jaguar XJR9 is a SlotIt.

Is the box damaged? It's reinforced inside with a compartment for each car, each car is on a base and each car wrapped in two layers of bubblewrap...how did they get damaged?

There was no sign that the box had been crushed in any way, but perhaps it had been dropped and the cars with the rigid wings struts were more vulnerable. I notice that your BMW V12 has a wing that has some free movement. But with the other 2 cars you could see the wings detached within the bubble wrap before unwrapping them.
