Schumacher GP Series Rd1

It was the opening round of the Schumacher GP series last weekend, it was a well attended event as we had 76 drivers present.
The entries were mainly GT12 and we also had 3 heats of 13.5 blinky touring cars.
This is a 3 race series at the fantastic venue of MB Models, therefore there are 2 more rounds remaining. It will be 2 from 3 rounds to count towards the overall Championship, with prizes being awarded at each event. It is a fantastic series so be sure to come along and race if you haven't yet done so.
At the venue there is an on site model shop and also a cafe cooking great food.
A new track was designed by the MB Models track crew which was a great fast flowing layout.

The race format was four rounds of qualifying and one final for everyone. For both GT12 and touring cars the duration was 6 minutes.
This was done on round by round qualifying with the best 2 qualifying results to count towards the final grid position.
In GT12 qualifying it was the Schumacher of Andy Murray that dominated proceedings, taking all 4 rounds to line up on pole position. 
Over in the 13.5 blinky touring car class it was Ricky Lee who also dominated and took all 4 rounds to line up on pole position.

The finals saw many great races that were close but also involved clean racing by many drivers.
