RACE REPORT #340 - May 31st 2025 (BTCCnm, GTnm, LMPnm)

Five drivers turned up for our BTCC, GT and LMP event, with Merryl arriving a bit later and helping with the marshalling. That didn't dim the action though, because there was a lot of close racing in all three classes.

Once again I forgot my phone, so Steve let me use his to take the pics. We still had a throttle four issue, so this has to be rectified if we're going to have six-driver races in our future events.



Some pics to start things off:

Great racing event as usual at FRC !
Despite the less than full driver turnout, the event provided some very keen racing in all classes and a great time was had by all. The track seemed to have a bit of a power issue with two faster classes (LMP and GT) at certain points but the lower powered BTCC cars didn't seem to be affected.
Looking at the photos, I chuckled when seeing the 'boardroom' one and remembered Warren's super quick reflexes to achieve it !
Congrats to Gordon and Warren on winning BTCC and GT respectively and also to Gordon on taking Index Of Performance honours.
Looking forward to the next event !
Steve
