1/32   Nationals   2016

Club Team Championship

Thirteen teams raced in the club team championship held at Richardsons’South Downs  on 17 July.  Each team had 4 drivers and 3 hours race time - 22 ½ minutes on each lane.  I almost said each team had 3 hours running time, but of course the 3 hours includes pit stops.  The most reliable  teams spent little time in the pits other than tyre changes while one team was in the pits for a motor change just 9 laps into the race!

Rockingham led from the start, although Blackpool closed the gap to 16 laps at quarter distance by setting 234 laps on blue which stood as fastest run of the day.  From then on Rockingham extended their lead eventually won for the third year running setting a new record distance of 1799 laps.  Blackpool came home second, with Dudley winning the area 5 battle taking third ahead of Leicester.

Congratulations to all this weekend’s winners, particularly James on winning all 3 classes at the Nats (again).

A big thank you to Ant and all at Richardson’s.    Special thanks to Kev, our chief race controller.

We are back at Richardson's for the 1/24 International at the end of August - see you all there!
