2011 Modern F1 Series – Round 1 Results

Share this page with:

Our racers were concerned that the Modern F1 series would see as many deslots as the previously ran, Trans-Am Series. As it turns out, the Scalextric models behaved very well with their magnets removed and aftermarket tires.

The initial round of the series had a mix of classic and sport Scaley cars. The classic cars, with FF-050 motors, were faster than the sport models and the FC-130 motors. Brian, raced David Coulthard’s 2001 McLaren MP4-16; Russell raced Rubens Barrichello’s 2009 Brawn; Jim turned the fastest lap with Michael Schumacker’s 2006 Ferrari; Ary had the sister 2006 Ferrari of Felipe Massa; and Roy raced Jarno Trulli’s 2004 Renault.

At the end of the race Ferrari took first and second places, followed by Ranault, Brawn and McLaren.

The McLaren team manager is already working on a new chassis/motor combination. Tongue out
