Results from the NZSCA 8 hour Saloon teams Enduro held at WSCC on 01 March 2025.
The WOT team of Chris Steve and Allan Tucker won from a very fast Rainbow 🌈 team of Paul, Russell, Tim Fellows and young fast Adam Bidwell . Rainbow lead easily for the first 5 heats, but the fast driving Adam incurred really high tyre wear that had Paul scrambling through his box of tyres to find a solution on the track that was getting grippier ( is that a word?) as the race evolved.
The Blazers team of Eben, , Alex and Paul came in 3rd after they unfortunately chose to start their one hour stint on green., and it meant that they trailblazed the clean track for the other teams until they got back to orange that had been runbered up by Rainbow in the first stint.
The Westroc team being Nigel, Andrew , Ivan Bailey and Rob came a distant 4th.
They had a few issues with the car just popping out and while that had the super fast and grippy NSR rubber, the delamination off the hub causing bad vibrations..
Two teams ran the Hyundai and two ran the Tesla body.
It was a hot day with a lot of hot action, a visitor observed that " you guys don't come off the teck while you are racing".
Maybe we are just driving slower these days.
Thanks to Ivan who bought his camera and recoding setup and I believe that there may be a you tube video of the 8 hours, search NZ slotcars.
