A few weeks ago I recieved one of Erlo Pauls R15's, and what a great body that is! The Audi is truly one ugly mother, but man it's mean looking and in the real world it's driven by a really nice Danish bloke Tom K. sp I had decided long ago that I would be making his Le Mans mount.
Just a week after getting my hands on the Audi, I recieved two Julia 1B chassis from Nick. One of these where thrown together and recieved a BRM Miller Porsche 962 body, no light weight parts, a Bison motor with 12/40 gearing and 27.5 mm Ø rear wheels. This very quickly assembled car beat all comers at a local Gr. C race! So I decided that my other Julia 1B would go under the Audi!
Hang on have to put the kids to bed.................................(More to come soon)
OK, that's take care of!

So I set about building the car and in the end it looked like above and below!

As you can see from the picture one of the brand new ProSlot Euro PS4000Comp resides in the "engine" bay. It's got 9/44 gearing and the mandatory ProComp3 13 mm rear wheels.
The car was assembled for Mark and me (Charlies Angels) to race at a 2 hour LMP race at our own track. As you can see from the pictures I still need to make some of the decals and I have to install the lights, that will come along in due course, as I did not need the lights for this race, and I had run out of clear decal paper.

The car weighs in at 172 grams so it's reight on the limit. We, that's Charlies Angels, was up against four other cars at this race.

Two of these are OEPS entries and the last Ferrari 333SP was a 2H car on a PlaFit plank that came out mostly for nostalgic reasons, he will have a Peug for the next race in october.
Mark qualified our car on pole, second was Michael huniche (Racing for Vikings at OEPS), Third was Søren Henriksen for Team Skrotspeed, also an OEPS entrant, fourth was Scuderia Minimale of Gorm Nøregaard also an OEPS entrant, last the venerable 333SP of Henrik.

333SP is just outside this picture, but that was the line up for the start. I am not going to bore you with a race report, just say that the Audi won by a country mile! The combination of the Julia 1B and the Erlo Audi proved absolutely fantastic! It is so awsomely fast thru the bends that it defies belief! It is so easy to drive and so predictable and we ran sooo fast in every lane, in every stint, that this was the fastest race ever at our track!
The Peugeot of RfV is mounted on a Fola chassis, as is the BP Mazda Lola, though it's two different incarnations of the SlotFABRIK chassis. However both these cars pushed us, but could still only once in a while strike the same lap times that we did. We even lost laps due to beeing crashed into loosening our body. Fixing that cost us 6 or 7 laps, yet we won with a margin of 23 laps to the #2 Peugeot.
First of all thanks to Erlo for a great body, second thanks to Nick and Andre Linberg for an abolutely fantastic chassis! It's the best I have raced since taking up modelcar racing!
