Knealer Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 What a great series. Top work everyone. Very pleased with my third podium and fourth overall. Plenty of good feedback from the hosts so hopefully I can make the car a little easier for everyone to drive next time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquakiwi Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 We still have the "Hysterics" to run, don't we??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow_rusty Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yes we do... The big question I have is, will the Mini beat my very poor RS200?

curef99 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 looking at the result of the xara, i fear that the beast will not do great on this historic stage and lose the pos3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Some of the action from the Historic class Flying Greek Metro. IMO these Fly Porsches still have a bit more development left in them. Just not enough speed on here. Good but a bit twitchy, on the fast sections. Dissapointing on this stage, maybe a bit more weight.I thought it would be the car to beat. Stubbos Ninco 037, impressed,think these could go well next year. OTFS handled well Just lacked power for the faster hiillclimb track. Whay can I say about the MSC RS200 just a great car, but not unbeatable. Boss's Team Slot good for a first Proxy attempt. Ember needs to look at Peters car! Another Ninco that just needs a bit more development. Ha Ha Ha! Surprize on this track! Just a bit light tended to Fly Over the top of the hill (see PIC 1!) Just not fast enough and possible a bit short. Must be some thing with these cars from Greece,NTZ ended up in the creek. Now the bit everyone has been waiting for! A bit of a surprize with the podium. Well done Gas,Peter and big surprize BillX ( Charles) .

Ben_M Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Nice way to finish off the series Thanks again Phil for running the round and the series. Would have to be one of the well run and relaxed (which I think is its most important attribute) series in the world. Well done to all involved, weather it be an entrant, a marshal, a host, a score keeper or a wife who kept the drivers fed. Congratulations to those at the pointy end in all of the classes, we've seen a few new people come to the front alongside some regulars. My Porsche will retire and will be replaced by something else (got to buy one first). The buggy should be back for Raid next year which I think will be a big year for the class. We are moving next week so I have no idea where the slots will end up. Til next season. Quote Some slot (and MTB) vids NOW SHOWING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 As Ben so rightly said. Well done to everyone for another great OzRally. Congratulations to those at the pointy end in all three classes. Seems to have been a long one this year and then suddenly it's over. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

kalbfellp Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks to Mark for being so prompt with the scoring and for providing as all with some thing different,that is the only way to describe the Mini. Here is the podium for the series,all MSC. But I have two possible MSC killers here to prepare over the next few months. Ben sorry to see the Porsche go,I think it still has some more left in it. All the credit for a great series must go to all the entrants who support this event and to what must be the best group of hosts in any event I have been associated with over the last 15 years. They make this event what it is. I hope all the entrants return again next year. I have a prize pool to sort later this week so stay tuned.

Peter Gunn Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks to all of those who have done so much to make this a very good series , to all the people involved in running it you all deserve our greatest thanks without you it would not exist, to all the entrants well done for being in a great series , like has been said hope to see it on again , from a personal view very happy with the little Ford same chassis which ran last year but the biggest change and I think the right one was the change from the hairy MSC motor to the Ninco 5 which has proved it,s self by the results, Ember has always been on to me about my hairy motors and thank you , you were right, once again well done to everybody.

aquakiwi Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Totally agree with the above comments, well run, well documented and some great tracks.

shadow_rusty Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks again Phil for the great race report, and the feedback on the cars. Congrats to the podium winners, and the overall winners. Well done Charlesx with your Scaley RS-200. Whoo Hoo... That bloody motor in my RS200 can finally be put to sleep... Hmmm, must figure out what car I put the original motor in... :( May be time to retire my RS-200 and enter something else, but time will tell if any of my others are actually any better...

charlesx Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks for a great proxy. Very pleased to see my totally Scaly Ford RS200 get its second podium and 6th overall. Will almost certainly be back for third try but might relax motor requirements as the Scaly one too peaky. Subaru also went well with some round wins and 3rd overall again. The top 3 certainly opened up a big gap on the rest of the field. Considering a new car but might be back for 5th try. Regards Chas Le Breton (Charlesx and Billx) PS. Congrats to all organisers an helpers for great event and the friendly competition from my fellow racers. Look forward to new rules for RAID in particular.

curef99 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 i scratch the MSC suppremacy only 4 time this season to finish 4th overall... i think the beast deserve another go at this serie. Guys, thanks a lot for organising this serie, it was a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_M Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ben sorry to see the Porsche go,I think it still has some more left in it. Your're welcome to have a crack Phil Im sure there is more in it but I have trouble feeling changes to the car, plus I like to mix it up a little. I wasn't going to give it go this year but I had to give it another go to try and improve it. 6th last year and 8th this year but there were more big hitters this year so not a bad effort. i think the beast deserve another go at this serie Yes yes yes!!

miveson Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks for another fantastic proxy series - I really enjoyed the multiple classes - even with the mini performing so poorly in the historics. Some superb efforts from the entrants and a massive effort from all of the track hosts who continue to do an absolutely amazing job to ensure rounds run, results are posted and the cars are photographed.

kalbfellp Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) May be we should ban Avant Slot too, if you exclude round 6 you will see that Stu's car had the lowest overall time. Interesting to look at the brands of cars in the overall fastest times. Top six, one Avant, two Ninco and Three MSC. I think a lot comes down to setup and grip, getting the right balance for the variety of tracks and drivers.

branco Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 If this format is run next year, how about an overall champion? Would be interesting to see who can do well in all 3 classes....just a thought.
