44th Scalextric Club (15th October 2013)
Grand Touring cars are nearing the pace of Le Mans prototypes at the London Scalextric Club. Fastest laps near the 8.5s mark were achieved in a few races!
We were able to use all 6 lanes thanks to a good turn-out for this popular class. At just 2.5 minutes per race with short changes between races it made for a busy and action-packed evening.
Used the NSR Mosler I bought from Tony the other month. It has air tyres which aren’t legal but I’m allowed since I’m not in the championship.
Red Lane
Drove safe and careful, just a little behind a pair of drivers who had a crash or two each.

Red Lane
Dreadful driving by me. Got lapped in this 12 lap race and finished last. Only the leader goes through to the main final.
