RACE REPORT #345 - August 23rd 2025 (BTCCnm, GTnm, LMPnm)

Six regular drivers were present for our BTCC, GT and LMP event, the 345th officially recorded for FRC. Although Peter was one of these, he didn't race. Merryl also turned up, making it seven attendees, but he didn't race, but gave his usual help with marshalling.

The event saw a lot of action throughout, with the computer system working perfectly. Warren had some very fast cars present for GT and LMP, but they proved somewhat difficult to drive, resulting in several de-slots and placing him lower than might have otherwise been the case. Luke also drove three of Ramesh's well-prepared cars, all of which were very quick. He did very well in the races, achieving podiums in every one.

We once again had an enjoyable event, despite missing Steve who is having a far better time than us at Silverstone in the UK attending the Silverstone Festival. I know you're enjoying it Steve. We're enjoying your pics!



Some pics to start things off:

Interestingly enough ... 

I raced at TSCC Event the following day in Slot.It Challenge and Daytona Prototype classes.

I placed 2nd. and 3rd. respectively in those two racing contests.

In all, a total of 8 podiums ... 4 second & 4 third place finishes.

At the end of the weekend, it sort of had me feeling exhausted trying for a first place spot  :roll: :D
