[Top Down]

Sat. Feb. 12th.

Ten drivers made this the best turnout for just over two years, promising much for 2022. 

There were several new faces, so hopefully they weren't put off by one or two minor issues. The first class was due to be Club Porsche 911's but they proved to be rather temperamental, so a quick substitution saw the Club Gp5's come into play. Different beasts altogether but they did provide very close racing, with the last heat showing five of the six drivers fastest laps being covered by just half a second.

1) Club Gp5 (any motor/chassis layout)

   

   

   

   

   

Mark Raine took top step on the podium, followed closely by Mark Jay and Shaun Bennett. 

2) Owner/driver Sports/GT/Le Mans (any motor/chassis layout)

These were of a similar motor/chassis format to the Club Gp5's but being owner/driver cars there was a greater variety of body styles.

   

   

Bill, unprepared for his astounding performance in the last heat, where a timing glitch gave him FTD and a new lap record over five seconds quicker than the rest of the field. However, this didn't seem to effect the overall results.

   

   

At least six different 1:1 makes were represented on the track, including Aston Martin, Audi, Ferrari, Ford, Mosler and Porsche. The beautiful Gulf car is a real standout for me though.

   

Bill managed to squeeze himself onto the top step of the podium, taking the class win two thirds of a lap ahead of the three leaders from Class One.

Next meeting: Sat. Mar. 12th.
