The drivers did very well and as one of the slower cars, I seemed to spend a fair bit of time keeping out of the way of the faster cars - especially in the other races! The indisputable fact is that there was no virtually no carnage and the drivers did what they were told to do at driver's briefing.

In scratch race conditions Rhys, you are 100% correct, but with two race groups combined, our fast group mixed in with our slower group, we have our own rules regarding cornering lines and in the main, the guys did OK. Bruce's Escort (to be fair, Mike Sexton's Escort) is obviously the fastest cars there and lapping at best at 1:13. The slowest there was lapping slower than 1:30. That is a huge difference and cars can catch you surprisingly quickly, as can groups of cars, which makes it even tougher, picking a line.

I'll stand by that piece of film, and others, that this was great racing on any scale and proved that dodgem car racing is not required for a great spectacle.

Until you have been in a situation where you are a middle pace driver, overtaking and also being overtaken at the same time and in a handicap format and philosophy, that tries to get every car over the finish line at the same time, it is so easy to get it wrong.

Bear in mind these are all amateur drivers driving their own cars and in a grid of 44 cars, the end results speak for themselves.
