Crash Compilation

Couple of racing sessions this week with Andy on Monday and Stuart today.

You expect problems with the 360 degree turning Nissan 350Zs - head-on collisions at cross-overs and where the road narrows for the hairpins are almost inevitable.


Even gentleman racers in 1930s vintage cars can cause trouble for photographers who don't move quick enough...


But driving into paramedics already trying to calm down the traffic just isn't cricket.

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl!

The first car I acquired when I started building the loft layout was a Aston Martin given to members of the Scalextric Club.  It was the subject of my first blog.  Since then the wallpaper on the laptop that controls the racing has featured that car in the background.


In the foreground is a Lola Aston Martin built for racing at Le Mans, where it came 4th in 2009.


I finally picked one up from eBay and they make a nice pair of racers in their matching Gulf livery.
