Cotswold Model Car Club at Kemble Airfield, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
Previously the record stood at 17 laps in 5mins 15.75secs which has stood for the last 3 years, Stephen using the latest generation of the RB V12 engine line, the R3 and the new Byron Gen 2 Race fuel set a new track record of 17 laps in 5mins 6.3 secs taking nearly 10 secs off the old record!!!! He also broke the lap record by nearly half a second from 18.008 to a blistering 17.621!
The excellent power and superior fuel mileage from the engine and fuel combination allowed Steve to win the A-final in style, also being the only driver to achieve the 7 1/2 min fuel stop strategy and leading from start to finish.
Steve found that Byron Race Gen2 Fuel made a huge improvement to his racing.
Steve had this to say.
" It's been a long time since I raced a Nitro tourer on rubber tyres and even though you have to change your driving style from foam it's very satisfying to experience how good the car can be on rubber."
I found that the Pit Shimizu D27R tyre on the Proline Inch-up dish wheel was very stable and quick for qualifying and long lasting, with very consistent lap times throughout the A Final,
The new R3 engine had a snappy throttle response with good top end speed, I found the combination with the new Byron Gen 2 fuel was very efficient, at qualifying pace I worked out I could have gone for over 8 mins on one tank of fuel!
