new proxy for Pre WW2 racecars...interested?

[DavidMitcham]

Here are the detailed results from Tyneside. In the GP class it looks to have been a close race between Dave's Auto Union and David's Delahaye with the lead changing right up to the last heats. The race for third, fourth and fifth between the Auto Unions of Mike and Steve and Andi's Miller was just as close with all three finishing on 82 laps. It was little more spread out with around one or two laps between the cars. Fastest lap went to Mike.



The Voiturette race was equally closely fought at the front of the field with half a lap between Mac's winning Alfetta and Keith's Mercedes 165. In third and fourth were the Maseratis of Mike and John finishing just half 0.03 of a lap apart. Mac took the fastest lap and the two points.



The overall championship is still wide open although Mike has a 7 point lead over Steve with David a further 4 points behind in third place. Dave is two points behind David and then there is an eleven point gap to Andi's Miller.



The Voiturette championship is headed by Mac's Alfetta with a lead of 13 points over John's Maserati. Keith's Mercedes is a further 6 points behind and Mike's Maserati 2 points behind that.

Thank you very much for all of your efforts and great photos.
I really appreciate and enjoy this; my first proxy other than Harry's showdown.

I am sorry to hear about Mac, although I have not met him (online), in my years as a lurker in the forum wings he has inspired me with his builds. Thank you Mac.

Here are the results from last night's practice at NERCS. Its close between the first two and then for the rest of the field.

Here are the practice times for the GP cars. Again it looks close across all the field. Auto Unions seem to be the car to have apart from Mac's Maserati but as we know from previous rounds practice times are not always a good indicator of race performance.



Here is a photo of the filed in grid order.



Good luck to everyone in Sunday's races.

Thanks for the report. The Barc Auto Union seems to be a steady eddy,and pleased with the performance so far.

Looking forward to this weekends race.

[DavidMitcham]

Here are the results tables and the championship standings after today's races at NERCS. Many thanks to Gerry and his team for making the event possible.

First the Voiturette results.



Next the GP results.



With one round to go in the Championship it looks like Mike and Mac, respectively, have the GP and Voiturette classes under control but thereafter second and third places look open to several cars.





Best Regards

Next round is the home round for the Manx racers, this has generated a lot of excited interest in the club...I can't wait to see the cars in action.

[historiceng]

thank you for revealing the picture Kevan...what d ya think?

[BARC 1]

Thanks for the run. Seing the BARC Auto union take second is refreshing as my other proxy results have been less satisfying this year.

Looks like a lot will be decided in the final race of the series. Good luck to the other racers, and I too hope this proxy will be run again next year.

Eric, it wouldn't currently be eligible as it's pre-1930...

[historiceng]

Ah of course, I had forgotten that! :oops: :)

the proxy was originally just labelled as Pre-War but then it was altered. I kinda like a Brooklands category and an Indy category.

Discussions will follow in a de brief thread.
