Forgot to add the wings back on prior to photos!!

On behalf of Malcolm Scotto and myself we'd like to wish the competing teams "Good Luck" for the 24 hours. Especially the Wolves boys; Ian, Stuart, Adam, Matty, Neil, and Andy have worked hard getting the cars ready, and a special thanks to the guys at Midland Model Centre for their support and kind supply of equipment & parts.

Any pictures, results, report?

You've all had the chance of 12 hours sleep since it finished

Mr.M

Nightmare!

Team Farnham had to retire!

13-14 hours in and four destroyed chassis.

Each one had bust axle supports (on either side) i far as i know no other team experienced any problems with this so it must have been something wrong with my set up, but i can't see what?

Toyota Supra, NC5, Slot It Rear Axle and side angle winder gear/Pinion, P4 tyres, Parma controllers (45 and 25).

We really enjoyed the experience and were doing pretty well until the problems started running third for several hours.

Came home and watched the GP, then fell asleep for 4 hours!

next year? - not with the Supra! Fly Porsche Evo seems to be the way to go unless Ninco improve the chassis.
