Wethersfield Autosolo

great fun, rubbish result... as usual!!

a very interesting test layout. I set three quickest times in my class but I'm so inconsistent and have fish memory so got a couple of wrong tests and missed the stop box once too.

DuncanĀ“s little Fiat doesn't look that quick but he's always up there, such a smooth driver... and his daughter, Laura, is a really up and coming autosolo master too!!

I'll never be great at autosolos but it's all about the fun, right?

Hopefully the results will upload, if not I'll find a link when they're up on the Cambridge Car Club website.

 
And surely Jim will write his event review soon.

Wethersfield Autosolo

I agree with Luis comments - driving the autosolo was fun - but I'm never any good at them. The problem is the minorest of errors is a wrong test and with 23 gates per test any lapse in concentration is a max , and you know it straightaway . .  and it affects your enjoyment. The advantage with a Targa is you can kid yourself you've got away with a penalty until the results go up!

Also like Luis I enjoy throwing the car around but it is patently not the fastest way to go  - reference father Christmas and daughter pedalling that pesky 126 through the slaloms.  I set 5 class fastests but 3 WT's is awful. Son Andrew was on his first 'solo and he enjoyed beating me twice when we both went the right way!

To supplement the class places shown above I can confirm that Daren Hall was FTD across all the autosolo and autotesters out of 23 finishers.

The other CMC overall positions were 2nd R Nel, 3 J Williams 4 D Christmas 9 J Peterson 14 J Bowie 15 L Christmas 16 L G Diaz 18 A Donn 19 A Bowie
