yes an interesting day, the Carrera track I think is more like some wood tracks I raced on, very hard and quite smooth. But I was surprised by the way some of the cars behaved. Apart from my own Class A winning Mclaren  I particularly enjoyed running OXO's Ford GT and SSRC Ferrari F430 just ran very well, and I felt that Kessel run's Lamborghini was going to run fastest, but the timing result was not there. And in the Class C for Green Star's Triumph TR4, I felt as if I should have run it faster, but did not want to risk it, but I think it runs better with the hood down. And the Ferrari 166 of Ruscillo Racing just loved the Robin Hood Stage. My Mercedes could not catch it, and actually the gears are sounding abit dicky on my own car, be interesting to see if it gets through the remaining stages. Certainly it was a good track for the GT40's, Both the NSR types and Scalex ran very well.

Well see what surprises we can find tomorrow.

 Good morning folks, just about to get started. There is torrential rain today (outside) and the track temperature is a mere 7 0'C, yesterday it was a comfortable 15 0'C.
So driver is equipped with a winter coat  and hot coffee before we go, track car has been out and reported track conditions are good enough. Will we see a new track record set this morning ?

[Graham]

Just finished the Class B run on stage 5 Robin Hood Way, now a little warmer at 10 0'C.

When I started to record results even my Biro would not write properly because it was so cold 

Anyway here is the winners of the class with full results below, once again everyone made it around (in some cases after abit of practise) without any off track time penalties.

   

   

   

I will have some lunch, put all he results together and issue a table of results before I start Stage 6 this afternoon.

I have attached the full docs as PDF files

And now to prepare for Stage 6 The Belvoir Pass, looks like I will be starting this run, early in the morning tomorrow.

Bye for now

[Graham]

The Belvoir Pass Circuit plan

   

I will take some photos tomorrow of some of the prominent features, but it is the hillclimb with the series of 3 hairpin bends which will be the main concern for the longer wheel base cars.

I have decided to reduce the lap number from 5 to 4 for because of the length of the circuit

So an early start for me tomorrow.

[Graham]
