RACE REPORT #116 - JANUARY 24TH 2013

Hi Guys,

A small turnout of just five drivers attended our 116th event for FRC's American Muscle, GT and LMP classes. Despite this, competition was as furious as ever and some very quick times were set. Several races saw first and second (and sometimes third) places being separated by fractions of a second.

Mike received a true baptism of fire with his first foray into these super-fast classes and both his car and his spirit took a beating. However, he's already rising to the challenge with plans to alter his approach to slots in a determined bid to gain the experience he currently lacks to be a front-runner. I'm sure he'll achieve his goals.

The results

Congratulations to the winners.

Next event's classes: Ferrari Team Challenge - 6 races @ 30 laps, Rally Car - three 5-lap stages per car (1 car at a time). Don't forget to see the updated fastest times for the FRC classes to know what the benchmarks are for your cars. Also of interest are the updated class average qualifying times.

See you on the circuit...
Gordon

Congrats Gordon on your overall win. Racing was fun, even without a full grid. Thanks Kyle, for the rental, I mean loan cars. Mike really had a 'baptism by fire' but I had a look at his sweet Nissan LMP car: nothing broken and just needs a bit of tweaking to be really competitive.His Audi R8 looks and seems to run well too but an apparently dislocated chip sidelined him in the GT class. Looking forward to the next event.
Steve
