As expected, some 'off the wall' racing and some stupendous classes to combat the 73 metre track with. My favourite class????....... Dunno, they were all great. Some of us took it with a pinch of salt and others took it seriously....? No mater, there was fun and chaos aplenty. The Trabant class showed the little Monogram Simca 1000 to be uncatchable on sport track and the Trabants' although quick, were not quick enough. I drove a little NSU Prinz which fair screamed down the back straight but danced a bit under brakes!!
The Fiat class was a good one with no one who was driving one breaking into the twenty second lap barrier, and a good lap was in the mid thirties. At least the traction magnets kept us safe from harm in the car park and one or two who did let go in this amalgamation of track, timber and ravines plummeted to an uncertain doom all the way to the floor.
The Gran Torinos were as expected and for the most part they lumbered round in gargantuan splendor shedding chrome bits at most of the corners they didn't make!!!
All in all for the most part some good honest racing and fun to boot!!!
