We had a very enjoyable day. A huge thank you to everyone who trusted us with their fabulous cars - we drove them hard, but safely within the limits of our competence.

   

Stage 11 saw a return of the Ice Rink to a proxy event. This is a routed foam board & copper tape super-special that was built to host the final stage of the 2021 Winter Rally Sprint proxy. Today it was run at 10 volts. There is video of all the Gran Turismo cars on the stage.

   

Stage 12 was a new Ninco + 3D printed stage - Collina in Alto - which may evolve into a hillclimb, but today was run flat and at 12 volts. There's a brief video of the winning Gran Turismo car to come.

There really were some beautiful cars to look at and almost all ran really impressively too...

         

I ran the Classics and Gran Turismo cars on both stages, Jeremy the Prototypes & GTs. Winning times were around the 30 second mark.

   

Graham now has the results and podium pictures, so hopefully he won't keep you in suspense for too long!

Many thanks to Andy & Jeremy, you both done a really great job.

The ICY theme to the stages was a good test for the cars.

So we have the results for Stage 11 (ICE RING)

Many thanks guys for hosting this round   

Glad to see the cars returning from the 'menders' performing OK   

...the foam board track looks interesting, did you use a normal router to cut the slot?

And Stage 12 (Collina in Alto)......don't ask me to translate

"Collina in Alto" is Italian for a local road...Highdown Hill.

I thought you never get "snow and ice" down in Brighton

Thank you for running the round!!! This is truly a box of chocolates based on the majority of the results which makes it fun to tune in.  Congratulations to the podium builders and those who did better than you expected.   Onto the next round!!!

I'm sure there's an appropriate Murray Walker quote about this proxy, something like "anything can happen in the next ..... and probably will"
