July 22nd marks the 1st race of the 2008 1.5L Formula One proxy race being held in England at various tracks. I have a Brabham BT7 contesting this years event. Last years car finished third in the concours voting, but turned out to be more show than go. Not a single point scored in any race. Here's to better results this year.
2008 1.5L Formula One Proxy Race
Round 1. Running at Blackpool, a loose braid caused the Brabham to drop down to 11th palce after running competitively. Next race is August 6th at The Valley Raceway.
Round 2. Trouble continues, a thrown tire drops the Brabham to fifth from a possible podium finish. On a good note, points have finally been scored. Next race is August 23rd at Midford Comb.
Round 3. A trouble free round. The day started good with a strong qualifying effort, 4th, but the Brabham could not keep pace and finished in the final points paying position, 6th. After 3 rounds the Brabham sits in 7th place in the championship. Next race is at Earl-Halls Park, date TBA.
