Glad everyone seems to be overall happy with the day, we will take on board all comments when designing the next track but it was good to do something different

Very cool meeting that was, well done to everyone involved in making it a sucess.
The venue is perfect, the track was very challenging. I wouldn't say it needs to be easier but it could do with being a bit more open maybe? Timing issues where pretty much unimportant, I think everyone ended up where they should have been at the end of the day? Whens the next one is my only question????

I can't believe some people didn't like the cross over, to me it was THE feature of the track!
 More please!! I must admit, I was thinking the jumps were going to be too big for the micro's but if anything they flew over it! I also thought the short landings were an eye opener (in a really good way) and it actually made you think about controlling your car over them instead of just full throttling them. It shows you what is possible and it was clear the guys that stayed low and landed on the transitions were the fastest. Bring on more jumps and more cross overs I say! And yes, agree with Cris - that bar charged crazy money.

Definately bring on the jumps ..... all I ask is there is a way to not have to jump if, for whatever reason, you don't feel you can that lap. I love to have air under my tires, just gets a little frustrating to not really have a clean lap all day (didn't have enough brakes to get it slowed down after the cross-over if I didn't put it down at the very start of the down ramp ...... came up short loads of times trying to overcome that ..... now suspect a motor related problem as brakes are awesome with a sintered in there!) When you opening up CML Raceway next for some much needed jumping practice??? Really want to run there as the layout looks awesome for both jumping and throttle control practice. Racing in the west mids most of the tracks are grass with a couple of triangle hops in (or at least used to be when I last did electric regionals) .... some have no air time at all. Doesn't help with jumping practice! Count me in for the next one ..... 2wd again ... this time in the 2wd class ...

It was my first "proper" race meet and really enjoyed it (apart from the migraine).
Only one broken front shock tower so not too bad. Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation of the meet it was fantastic.

just wondering, what motors were everyone using in the 2WD A final?
I was running a 10.5 Nosram brushless. I lacked pace on the main straight, but I didn't feel that slow on the infield sections? My own mistakes were the reason that I was at the back of the field. Thanks.

6.5 L with small gauge wire.
could have used anything down to a 8.5 i think.

6.5 as it's all i have - to be fair i probably wouldn't have run anything less even if i did have it anyway, it's nice to open it up once a lap on the straight

Have read all the comments up to now and it all sounds very positive indeed.
I would like to thank Mark Knight, CML, Clanfield Off Road Club, Remote World Model Car Club, Grant Fribbens and all the Newbury guys for a huge effort. Fisrt of all would like to talk about the timming system. It was only laps in 4wd 1/10th that did not count on ocassion. If it was equipment faliure then laps would have been missed in all heats, all day. That said I will be speaking to Rob Nelson regarding this issue to see if any of the sutup can be improved for next time. Funny how everyone turns into a BBK expert when things go wrong!!  I think Rich made an excellent point in saying that it was sorted in the end and all drivers finished the day in the correct position. The track was excellent so well done and thanks to Lee, Nick and Trish for a layout which was hard to drive but very rewarding when you got it right. Whatever track design you go for will not please all as the different levels in ability will always be a problem. There is room for improvement in lots of areas but for a first GP I thought it was an excellent effort. Andy give yourself a pat on the back fella.
