Last night we ran round 3 of the proxy at a very warm and muggy Viking SCC.

Our track is a permanent 6 lane Policar layout with a lane length of approximately 80ft.  It's a fairly technical track with a mixture of tighter turns and longer bends, which tends to shake up the grid a little as, unlike on more sweeping wood tracks, here heavier cars can get left behind by those with more that are more nimble with punchy acceleration and stronger braking. Finding the balance between ease of drivability and aggressive pace will always be key here.

We opted to run two lanes on the evening (lanes 2 & 5) leaving ample room between the running cars so as not to interfere with each others races.  Myself and Andy Bishop took driver duties; running two minute heats before swapping cars and repeating (so every car was raced by each driver, giving a total distance for both lanes).  We were a couple of marshals down on the night meaning that deslots typically resulted in power-offs/track-calls.  

Racing was very close at times, with the paired cars often finishing side by side.

There is video of the races which I will edit together and aim to upload by Monday
