The M-TC National series takes place over 8 meetings throughout the year between March and November excluding August and are generally held on the last Sunday of the month.
July saw us off to Nottinghamshire for Round 5 at West Bridgford Club. Many of those travelling from afar head up on the Saturday and stay overnight, but no such luxuries for Matthew Heath and I who chose to do an early start and left from our West Sussex location at 4:30am.
Jason Crossland and the team at West Bridgford had done an absolutely fabulous job with circuit layout on eight rolls of new Lindau dark grey carpet with good medium to high grip properties we were set for an excellent day’s competition.
With 8 heats and a target time of a round per hour, timing was tight with only a couple of minutes between each heat. The meeting format is 1 round of timed practice in heat order, followed by 3 rounds of FTQ qualifying and then 3 leg finals for everyone with each round to count.
It was nice to get a visit from Darren Worth who attended for the second time this year, he was able to add some invaluable content to the drivers briefing and we managed to keep him entertained until after lunchtime, maybe we have a budding new M-TC racer in the wings?
After the practice run we went straight into qualifying which was pretty much complete by 1:00pm. Then into the finals to which we had 4 4WD rubber, 2 2WD and 1 Foam. It’s good to see the 2WD class gaining a significant following with more hardware also appearing.
Positions after round 3 qualifying.
