Erik West Rallying: Onwards, ever onwards...

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/06/onwards-ever-onwards.html

Onwards, ever onwards. I raced my new (to me any way) NSR Aston Martin GT3 last night with ever improving results - yes I'm still somewhat off the pace but I'm edging ever closer! Each race sees less errors and better times; proving perfectly that there's no substitute for experience. For that reason I'm grabbing every chance I can to get controller time so can be seen at Wolverhampton Slot Car Club ( https:/ www.facebook.com/pages/Wolverhampton-Slot-Car-Club/1618828841737256?

Erik West Rallying: WRC fun...

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/03/wrc-fun.html

I now have two more rally cars for the 2015 season, both are 4WD so perhaps I should add a RWD car to the line up ;) Perhaps an Escort or Porsche? Now to get some practice in. Have a look at these! Motorsport, motoring and fantasy. Volkswagen Owners Club (GB). Office Depot Coupon Codes.

Erik West Rallying: Long time no type.....

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2013/10/long-time-no-type.html

Long time no type. Well a year has pretty much gone by and I've had no actual motorsport activity at all. I've watched and worked in motorsport this year but sadly but not competed in 2013. That is all due to change in 2014 as I've just secured a personal sponsor. This makes life far more interesting as I now have a budget to spend! Where I'm going to spend it remains a little bit cloudy at the moment. Expect a lot (make that a LOT. See you on the stages and circuits. Labels: erik west rallying.

Erik West Rallying: Better than expected!

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/05/better-than-expected.html

I was able to borrow an NSR Ford MK IV for the classic races last Friday (Thanks Nick! So was able to make my slot car racing debut. Throughout the event I had great fun (not as adrenaline filled as real rallying but far easier to prepare for, to get to and much, much. Cheaper) and I wasn't quite as awful as I expected. Yes I came last and yes I was slowest but I managed to knock 2½ seconds off my lap times during the evening and won the sprint from the lights in 3 out of my 4 races! Have a look at these!

Erik West Rallying: Racing fever starts to take hold...

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/05/racing-fever-starts-to-take-hold.html

Racing fever starts to take hold. In two weeks time I will have (finally) undertaken my first race meeting in my new form or motorised sport! Genuinely a £15 car bought off Ebay fitted with the correct tyres and driven properly can and will beat new cars that cost 3 times as much, skill isn't held back by bank balance and there's no silly Prima Donnas either! Through your body. Once the car is optimised you then have to drive it - against far, far more experienced drivers who take no prisoners!

Erik West Rallying: A change of focus...

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-change-of-focus.html

A change of focus. It looks like I WILL be doing driving in some wheeled competition this year and the car I'm going to be driving is 4wd :) As my boys have grown they're keen to race and we're about to embark on a season's racing in 2015! Luckily we're aiming small at the moment so. I'll be driving an SCX Audi 90 Quattro GTO plus to yet two be unveiled French rally cars! Have a look at these! Motorsport, motoring and fantasy.

Erik West Rallying: Wheels...

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/06/wheels.html

Wheels, every car needs them - this includes slot cars. However it appears the bigger the wheel the easier it is to select one! My Mosler GT3 car needed new front wheels so I sat down to order a set and that's when I realised that ordering a set for a full size GT3 Mosler would actually be easier; a lot, lot more expensive but far easier! Not every manufacturer measure their wheels the same way which makes life just that little bit more interesting. Can you image Speedline. Luckily I did lots of research...

Erik West Rallying: Where does the time go?

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2015/08/where-does-time-go.html

Where does the time go? Well I've done a few more races and picked up my first final win. I'm still off the pace (I've only been doing this since May not the years everyone else has! But my laps times are dropping every week! Interestingly I had a run with the class leading Aston recently and was able to knock a second a lap off my times - time to put plenty of effort into car preparation me thinks. Have a look at these!

Erik West Rallying: World of Tanks

http://erikwestrallying.blogspot.com/2013/10/world-of-tanks.html

I'm still playing WoT sporadically { link. And now can be found blasting away in a Ferdinand which is amazingly good fun - I'd certainly recommend giving the game a play. My eldest son is having a ball playing as my commanding officer too. Labels: erik west rallying. Have a look at these! Motorsport, motoring and fantasy. Volkswagen Owners Club (GB).
