Race Report

The Essex heat was the first time that Franc N. had been through formal scrutineering and the Essex scrutineers are known to be particularly rigorous. After a discussion over what constitutes “a wheel” Franc N. received his sticker and was allowed to race.

Following our motor controller maladies the first extended run was always likely to reveal problems and Franc spent a lot of time in the pits with electrical issues caused by the new controller, however he did get out on circuit, ran only a few seconds off the top pace and was running when the chequered flag dropped. We clocked up 27.5 miles to come in a creditable 9th out of 14 entrants.

We were very pleased to be awarded the trophy for “Most innovative use of materials”. Awarded by the scrutineers this was in recognition of our reuse of recycled materials and effective use of non-conventional materials in building the car.
