Race report and results - 23rd April 2026 -
.
Holidays, work and injury kept a few away this week, with Dave turning up with a surprise box (more later!) we had seven cars on track in tonights two events.
.
Saloons
.
The races were a good mix of classes (Small Saloon, Saloon, Group 5 Saloon).
.
Sports
.
Again, another good mix of classes (Small Sports, Sports, Group 5 Sports)
.
It was good to see so many Group 5 cars on track tonight, once a class all on it’s own, now separated into Saloons and Sports to race cars from other eras. It’s also good to see the small classes appearing regularly.
.
A funny thing happened tonight, when I arrived at the club earlier and getting everything ready, I thought about one of the newer club members saying they didn’t have cars for all the classes and in my mind I thought “just bring what you have and we’ll find a class it can fit in, what could you possibly bring that doesn’t fit our classes”...
…lo and behold, Dave turns up with Mike and they open a box filled with F1 slot sidecars… yes, a perfect example of a vehicle that doesn’t fit any of our classes, haha!
The upshot is, after having a test drive on the track, those of us who took up the offer of a drive were very impressed indeed and orders have already been placed…
…F1 Slot Sidecars will be added to our regular racing calendar in due course.

Next week is Club BMW 320i Group 5 followed by F1 (including Grand Prix, Prewing F1 and Classic F1)
