I know Danny from MK is racing on Saturday 28th March and that some are going to watch.

As its only up the road (and weather dependant) I was going to watch as well and take my MK.

Is anyone else going and do you need to buy tickets for the race?

I know some of you had been following his testing

Cheers Paul

I am going along with 001Ben - hopefully in his R1 Locost. Would be good to meet up and have a look at your car Paul

I am going but.................

I am marshalling at the race so no idea where I will be until the day.

My 12 year old is starting marshalling this year so we will probably be in the pit / assembly areas but no guarantees.

Paul has put the link to Oulton above so you could get the tickets that way, but normally you can get tickets on th eday at one of the booths. Very useful if the weather is attendance is based on the weather.

Normally the club racing makes for a good day out...
Let me know if anyone is going and, schedule permitting, I can try to meet up with some of you.

Doubt very much that I will be in the Indy though, as I think I have just sold it.....!!

John.

HI Guys

Just to confirm that the MK Indy Team will be racing at Oulton this weekend.

The cars to watch out for are No 3c Chris Maries and No 90c Danny (from MK), should be good races ( yes 2 races double header ) and a full grid of 32 cars.

You can't miss us in the paddock we will be the one take most of it up lol, 3 campers and trailers plus 4 cars the 2 indy's and 2 westfield's so pop across and say hello you probably know the Mk lads plus we will be looking after Chris's car.


look forward to seeing you there

Hi

The results can be found HERE. Sports / saloons. No idea what happened but not many laps completed.

I see Cam had a decent run though.

Cheers Matt

[Edited on 31/3/09 by procomp]

Cheers Matt, looks like a mixed bag of results.. The MKs seem to have qualified fairly well, then looks like there were problems.


Cam got a dnf and an 8th, I think he'd be chuffed with the 8th..

Chris Allinson had a consistent weekend in the mini, two 4ths.

Hi Guys

Where do i start ?

the weather was useal for the first race at oulton rain and more rain lol

Qualifiing went well chris 4th and danny 14th
the 1st race well after a good start from both cars chris was 2nd into the first corner but by the end of the first was lieing 5th with z cars chris in 4th , chris managed to get passed him but only to spin putting him back behind Chris A again but with Chris M right behind him but could not get passed because of Chris A blocking therefore both made contact sending Chris A into a spin and Chris M losing the nose cone and bonnet but carrying on but also dislodging the transponder so the time and postion where all to cock , Chris M finshed 4th overall and not Chris A. has a result of the coming together both where called to the clarke of the course with Chris M getting 2 points on his liecence but keeping the win etc... .

I belive Danny engine blew up which the guys from MK replaced but the timing was out due to different ecu so he never made it to the 2 nd race shame .

The 2nd race for Chris M started well but 4 laps in due to the battle with Chris A in the 1st race a rosejoint broke at the back sending it to a wild ride so Chris M tells me lol .

back to the workshop now to repair damage and replace rosejoints etc.. and will be back out at cadwell 26th April.

See you there.


PS.. (Please ingore spelling lol)

Hi

That's better commentary than the F1 the weekend .

Better luck at cadwell.

Cheers Matt

There was indeed a camera in the ZCars Mini

I'm working on it now and I'll post it soon so you'll get to see the action from the Chris Maries - Chris Allanson battle!
Meanwhile here are some stills from the video with the rear view inset:



On the start line



Chris Maries closing in




A close up of Chris Maries

Yep, those pics look "interesting"

Sounds like there was a real battle,shame I could not make it to Oulton park,I think both of the MK“s have done very well,with it being Dannys 1st ever race,I will look forward to the video“s,and I will be at Cadwell on the Sunday the 26th for round two

Now you can see the what all the controversy was about!

The video of the first race of the day is here:Youtube

Not sure what conclusions to draw, defensive driving, hugging the inside line to make the overtaking car go the long way round?

That was a serious bit of racing!

Enjoyed watching that, although I thought it was a erm non contact sport

Here's the video of the second race of the day: Clicky


Less controversy but some good MK action and no rain!

Cracking video, enjoyed that. The Mini does go well off the start line, doesnt it.
