Nice photos! Love to see on eor two of the track itself, looks really good on the detail end of things.
Welcome to the newcomer and is that the first photo we've seen of Andi's Miller?

The cars have practiced at Tyneside and the grid order is set for tomorrows races. Each car was run for 10 laps and the fastest time set the grid position. Here are results.   This is a picture of the cars in order of fastest times. Its interesting to see how a number of the voiturettes are quicker than the some of the GP cars.  Stay tuned for the results from tomorrow. These probably won't be available until Monday partly because I'm out all day at Shelsley Walsh. Best Regards David |

If you look at this link therein information about the results from today's races at Tyneside and some great photographs by Dave Wisdom. www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185045&page=16#entry2250297. Full, detailed results will follow in the next few days. Today's event was dedicated to the memory of Mac Pinches who sadly passed away in the last few days. Mac was a leading light in reviving interest in the type of cars running in this proxy series and was a prime mover in the Earlybirds meeting at Wolverhampton. The ITP enticed Mac out of retirement and he entered two beautifully made and fast cars. Mac, you will be missed. Best Regards David |

Here are the detailed results from Tyneside. In the GP class it looks to have been a close race between Dave's Auto Union and David's Delahaye with the lead changing right up to the last heats. The race for third, fourth and fifth between the Auto Unions of Mike and Steve and Andi's Miller was just as close with all three finishing on 82 laps. It was little more spread out with around one or two laps between the cars. Fastest lap went to Mike.  The Voiturette race was equally closely fought at the front of the field with half a lap between Mac's winning Alfetta and Keith's Mercedes 165. In third and fourth were the Maseratis of Mike and John finishing just half 0.03 of a lap apart. Mac took the fastest lap and the two points.  The overall championship is still wide open although Mike has a 7 point lead over Steve with David a further 4 points behind in third place. Dave is two points behind David and then there is an eleven point gap to Andi's Miller.   Best Regards David |

Hmm. Odd lap count disparities for the #10 AutoUnion A. Lane 1 and Lane 4 OK, Lanes 2 & 3 about half the laps on Lane 1 and 2. Was there a mechanical failure of some kind?

Hello Max
I've asked Dave Wisdom what happened and he's told me that your car lost a rear wheel on lane 2. It was replaced, but again it came off on lane 3. Before the heat on lane 4 the wheel was more securely attached with a very tiny dab of glue.
Best Regards
David

Great pictures, thank you very much for your effort!
Unfortunately the results of my cars leave - let’s say - some room for improvements.
Any comments regarding the raceability of the cars?
Best regards
Thomas
