RACE REPORT #342 - July 6th 2025 (CMnm, SCnm)

Just four drivers attended our event for Clubman, Slot.It Challenge and F1, the latter not being run at all. Initially only Steve, Luke and I turned up for the event which ran on the Sunday instead of the usual Saturday, because Steve had a afternoon-into-night karting event to attend. Keith arrived in time to drive the single Slot.It Challenge race, taking over from Luke who had to leave at that point.

Despite just having three drivers in each race, the driving was as competitive as always and we even had the usual two board room meetings as an enjoyable break in between the racing.

Fun racing event at FRC despite the sparse driver turnout. Pete was supposed to be there but unfortunately a foot issue made it diffcult for him to stand up to race. Keith showed up to race but also unfortunately not in time for the Clubman class. The older saloon classes at FRC (Clubman and Historic Saloon) are among my favourites and the fun racing them was in no way diminished by the shortage of drivers.
There is an error in the Clubman results in that Gordon's third place shown in the second race screen shot should be second, as per the podium photo. This would give him an extra point overall and would affect both the overall points for the event as well as the Index Of Performance result.
Congrats to Gordon on winning Slot.it Challenge as well as the overall event.
Congrats also to Keith on taking Index Of Performance honours.
Looking forward to the next event !
