Scalextric GT 2015 Round 3 Race Results

Round 3 of the 2015 Scalextric Lightning GT Series was held last Saturday and the racing was faster than ever.  The second tweak to the cars, after the switch to P6 tires, was modified guides that allowed the cars to hold the slot a little better.  As it turned out, two of the cars may have been a touch faster than the others.  Cars #13 and #9 were bloody quick and Steve and I had a close battle throughout, coming close to the magical 240 lap mark.  Despite a number of mistakes in my last heat in Blue, I was able to just surpass Steve’s total, while Steve had the overall fastest lap, at 3.486.

The action was super quick.  While there were only an average number of de-slots, with the speed of the cars, the marshals really had to be on their toes to pick up cars before another car came roaring through.  It made for some exciting racing.

David was able to turn more laps than Jordan for a change.  Watch out David, or you might be next to move up to Group A!  David is currently leading a tight battle in Group B, with 54 points to Rich’s 53 and Mark’s 49.  This is one of the closer race series that we have had.  It is still anyone’s race, including Austin and Brett, who are both one race shy of the leaders.  Brett turned the fastest lap in Group B with a blistering 3.575.  Way to go!

In Group A, Steve, the only driver to run all three races, is ahead with 60 points.  Jordan and I, with two races each, are close behind with 38 and 39 points, respectively.  With Steve dropping one race, the three of us will only be 3 points apart.  Another terrific battle.

With new cameral  software, Steve experimented with his phone as a second camera for recording the race.  With the camera at the end of the long straight, one can really get a feel for how quick the magnet cars are.  We may have even more camera options in the future.

Don’t miss the next action-packed race!
