Above right - Pinewood has generous pit space - a real asset with this size of entry. The competitors also enjoyed a at the slot racing supplier's latest products. However, I guess a few would have  benefited if their team cars spent a bit less race time in the pits!  This was the first year where teams have not been allowed a spare car, and most  teams suffered some mechanical delays (particularly Oaklands).  The winning North London car suffered an armature problem which meant it was clearly not the quickest car in the second half of the race (particularly not on the main straight).  The North London's drivers made the most of what power the car did have, avoided the chassis breakages that delayed other teams.
