Round 1 -  Mornington Park - 18/3/25
1st - Callan Thomas
2nd - Bruce Thomas
3rd - Adrian Gray

Round 1 - Race Report

 Anticipation was high this week with the first round of the very popular Revoslot GT series. A series which was originally a hand out car, and in the beginning was quite a gamble from what I remember.

The Revoslots hadn’t been out very long back in those days and early reports of them were indifferent with the noisy gear mesh, rattling chassis & hard tyres among the things being picked on by pundits in other parts of the world.

However, push ahead with the series we did….and what a brilliant decision it has turned out to be.  What we’ve ended up with is car that with very little work, can be competitive, quick & very rewarding to drive for even the new kids on the block.

And with this series, the 4th so far, introducing a few new models to the field, there was much interest in seeing how everything panned out.

First thing to notice was the sheer proliferation of new McLarens in the field. It looks as if the bandwagon has been jumped on before the band has even got to the stage of the roadies setting the amps up! The wiseness of this decision will be played out over the next 7 rounds. The other new cars in the series, the Lister Storms, were not quite as popular, however there were 2 intrepid drivers who decided to break away from the popular crowd & give these a go. The rest of the field were quite predictable with the tried & true Marcos again a popular choice, along with a smattering of Supras & Porsche GT2s.

It appears there is no-one brave (or foolhardy) enough to run a Ferrari F40.

So, of the original 4 handout cars, it is only the Viper which has vanished without a trace. It will be left entirely to Rob Golley on his return to see if he can resurrect this now forgotten marque.

On to the racing…….& wow!

Marshalls were quickly reminded of how rapid these cars are compared to the previous series, and had to bring their best reflexes to deal with anything that came their way…….let alone the drivers!

Immediately we were also given a reminder of how things panned out in the previous (2023) series. Callan & Bruce trotted out the same old cars that had dominated last time & proved that nothing much had changed with their Marcos & Supra once again finishing in the top 2 positions. Callan took yet another win with his total of 127 laps. An ominous sign as he is yet to lose a round in the class over the last 7 rounds he has actually participated in. Bruce’s tried & true yellow Supra is the most understated (some might say boring) of all the Revoslot liveries, but proved still as quick as ever by racking up 126 laps and taking out 2nd this week.

It was left to Adrian to fly the flag for the newly debuted models, his Lister was obviously very quick , but some occasional offs meant that the best he could do was 125 laps for a solid 3rd pace in round 1. Plenty to like about the car though, and much room for improvement. The first of the McLarens was next in line with Phil coming out on top in a big 3 way battle on 120 laps for 4th -6th. The other 2 drivers involved, myself in a Lister & Schoee in another McLaren finished 5th & 6th on track position.

JB was one who brought along his old Marcos & it performed very well as usual, his 118 lap total grabbed him 7th place, ahead of DBs Supra in 8th on 116 laps.

115 laps was shared between Ben (another McLaren) & Rhys running a Porsche GT2, however it was Rhys who just took 9th ahead of Ben in 10th this week.

In 11th was a very excited Blair as he showed immediate enthusiasm for this class of car and was also quite quick at times in his Marcos. His 112 laps was 3 laps clear of 12th place Dave Gray in another of the Marcos’s on 108 laps.

Rounding out the night were the father son duo of Thomas & Samuel. Tom driving the striking looking new McLaren racked up 106 laps & Samuel in the Porsche GT2 drove very respectfully & had minimal de-slots on his way to 86 laps.

A great start to the new series overall, with the older cars hitting the ground running early on. However, there was enough evidence from the new models to suggest that improvements might be possible over the series .
 

Round 2 -  Gotham Park - 25/3/25
1st - Bruce Thomas
2nd - Callan Thomas
3rd - Adrian Gray

Round 2 - Race Report 

2 Rounds down in the Revo GT series….and some very concerning trends have emerged.

The last time this series was run all 7 rounds were won by a driver with the name Thomas……and sadly Males wasn’t their 2nd name. No, it was either  Callan or  Bruce who had a lock on 1st place in the 2023 series.

So, with Bruce taking out round 2 this week after a win from Callan last week, this disturbing similarity has other drivers very nervous early in the series.
In fact, it was Bruce & Callan sharing most laps this week with 112, but Bruce (Supra) taking the place on track position in a very close result from Callan (Marcos) in 2nd.

Once again it was Adrian in the Lister who was best of the rest racking up some very quick lap times (in the 5.8 sec range) on his way to 110 laps for another 3rd place result.

4th place & 4 laps off 3rd was Phil in the McLaren, with the Lister of yours truly in 5th 2 laps back on 104. In fact places 3-5 were exactly the same drivers & order as in week 1.

DB showed some good improvement this week in the Supra to grab 6th with 102 laps, 2 laps ahead of a 2 way battle for 7th between Caine, in the first outing for the Viper in the series, and Rhys in the raucous Porsche GT2. Both drivers notched up 100 laps, but it was Caine who took 7th ahead of Rhys in 8th.

JB’s Marcos finished in 9th on 99 laps, with Dave Gray (Marcos) & Dave Schofield (McLaren) tied on 97 laps apiece in the battle the top 10. Dave Gray was eventually declared the winner of this result on track from Schoee in 11th. Blairs Marcos was next in line  with his 96 laps claiming 12th, ahead of Thomas Males in 13th on 90 laps in the McLaren. Ben had some handling issues in his own McLaren & his total of 84 laps saw him finish in 14th, with Samuel dropping in again to rack up a very good 82 laps and end up in 14th place.



Round 3 - Sorell Creek - 1/4/25

Round 4 - Race Report

In what seems like no time we’re up to round 4 of the Revoslot GT series, and over the halfway mark it’s already developed into essentially a 2 horse (car) race.

The traditional sight of Callan & Bruce dominating this class in the past shows no sign of changing this series either, and this week, in his most dominant display of the series, Callan found the extra grip on JBs track very much to his liking. In his 3 heats of 25, 25 & 24 laps Callan posted a grand total of 2 flying laps that were not under the 6 second mark….and I marshalled one of those ☹

74 laps saw him take top spot easily by 3 laps, and allowing for the shorter heat time it was a dominant performance. Bruce as usual drove a perfectly consistent batch of heats & his total of 71 laps was enough to once again take out 2nd.

2 back on 69 laps was the now traditional sight of a Lister Storm finishing in 3rd behind Callan & Bruce. However, it wasn’t the traditional Lister Storm of Adrian this week as a slight disaster for Adrian in heat 3 saw the 2nd Lister driver (myself) elevated to 3rd this week.

Adrian was still quick enough to grab 4th on 68 laps to minimise too much damage to his overall series results.

A great battle for 5th & 6th was fought out between Rob & Ben with both driving great brackets of 67 laps. It was Rob who took the track position however from Ben in 6th.

In 7th, and just 1 lap back on 67 Phil was all on his own, but with more two way battles being fought out behind him.

The first of these was between DB & Rhys for 8th & 9th on 64 laps each. DB won this on track however.

Next, we had JB & Blair both on 63 laps fighting it out for 10th. This one couldn’t be separated however as both finished on exactly the same bit of track at the end of their heats.

61 laps was the total shared between Dave Gray & Dennis Murray in the race to 12th, and it was Dave who ended up with the advantage from Dennis in 13th.

And finally, the last 2 way battle was a right royal one between the father & son duo of Samuel & Thomas on 56 laps each. This week it was a very good drive from Samuel that saw him take the bragging rights for the week and grab 14th spot on track over Thomas in 15th.
Just 1 lap back in 16th Luke’s total of 55 laps was a solid effort all round.



Round 5 -  Mornington Park - 15/4/25
1st - Callan Thomas
2nd - Mal O'May
3rd - Adrian Gray

Round 6 - Sorell Creek - 29/4/25
1st - Bruce Thomas
2nd - Callan Thomas
3rd - Mal O'May
Race Report - Round 6

Round 6 & the penultimate round for the Revoslot GT series (where did that time go !!!)

And with just 1 round to go it really has come down to 2 separate competitions of 2 when it comes to the top series results.

The first battle in 2 is for the overall win, and as has been the case since round 1 it comes down to Callan & Bruce next week. This week’s results saw both Callan & Bruce finish equal on 111 laps, and basically on the same corner of the track on that final lap. However, with an extra couple of rolls of the wheels Bruce took the win to tighten up the points table even further. His deficit now just 2 points to Callan with a round to go. Callan, of course, took a clear 2nd place though & no-one would be betting that he is any chance of finishing any lower than 2nd next week so it’s an uphill battle for Bruce to make any further inroads into the series.

The next competition within the competition is the battle of the Listers for 3rd & 4th. Well off the points for an overall challenge, the Lister teams of Adrian & myself will also head into the final round with a 2 point difference. This week the writer (in the “wrong” Lister) managed to gain a small amount of ground by finishing in 3rd on 108 laps, however as this round immediately became Adrians dropped point round, the damage to his overall point total was very much minimized.

Getting ahead of myself there slightly though, as in 4th again after another good drive was Rob Golley on 106 laps. Robs 2 missed rounds in rounds 1 & 2 have unfortunately affected his chances of a very solid result in the series despite a great last 4 rounds.

5th & 6th was fought out between the very much improving John Batich & the “right” Lister of Adrian Gray with a shared total of 105 laps. However it was JB who grabbed the place this week from Adrian in 6th.

1 lap back on 104, Ben appeared to be still coming down off his exciting win in the Scalex round and his cars obvious pace was tempered slightly by the fact that it spent too much time out of the slot. 7th for Ben.

8th on 103 laps was Rhys in the ever-noticeable Porsche, 2 laps clear of DB in 9th on 101 laps.

Rounding out the top 10 was Blair on 100 laps in yet another solid race.

11th on 97 laps was Dave Gray, and in 12th after having to overcome some braid issues, Scott on 94 laps for the night.


Round 7 - Stratton Valley - 6/5/25
1st - Callan Thomas
2nd - Adrian Gray
3rd - Mal O'May

Final Series - Top 3
1st - Callan Thomas
2nd - Bruce Thomas
3rd - Adrian Gray
Race & Series report - Round 7

How quickly has the 7 rounds of this series flown by? From someone who looks forward to the Revoslot series each time they’re run, there is a sense of sadness that these cars are to be put away again for 2 years before they make another appearance. Thank heavens that the Revoslot Porsche Cup is still a monthly occurrence!

Anyway, someone who looks forward to the series as much as I do must surely be Callan Thomas. As the dominant driver for the past 3 series (he has won 15 out of the last 19 rounds he has competed in)  Callans form is overwhelming. It was only due to him missing 2 rounds in the 2023 series that has prevented him taking out a hatrick of wins in this class.

All in all, it’s been extremely boring seeing the orange same car on the top spot of the podium for  3 series straight.

Time for a car change yet Callan? Come on…….you know you want to !!!

It is therefore no surprise to finds out that the winner of the final round of the series was once again the Marcos of Callan. In a performance which surely must have been one of his best of the last three series, Callan took advantage of the ever increasing track grip to rack up 73 laps with lap times falling into the 5.7 range. However, his win wasn’t as clear as other rounds despite his performance, the Lister of Adrian Gray pushing him all the way in a final round best showing for the series. Adrian's 71 laps grabbed his best result of the series (2nd), and confirmed his lock on the series podium. In 3rd this week and ensuring a big final round finish from team Lister, was yours truly on 70 laps.

2 Laps back & on his own on 68 laps for 5th, Bruce Thomas who despite some encouragement, was not tempted to run his F40 in round 7. One for the next series Bruce ?

A big 3 way tie for 5th -7th was next & with all of Rob, JB & DB finishing on 67 laps it came down to track position. Sadly for DB, Rob & JB both managed to sneak past and it was Rob (5th), JB (6th) & DB (7th) in the end.

In another solid 8th was Rhys with this 64 laps, just 1 lap clear of the rapid McLaren of Ben on 63 laps for the night. Just keep it on Ben !
Caine & Dave Gray both shared 61 laps in the battle for the top 10, however Caine managed 10th on track to pip Dave in 11th.

Blair kept his car on most of the time which helped him tie with Scott's total of 60 laps. Track position decided 12th place again in Blairs favour this time.
Tom finished with a 57 lap effort for 14th, with both Samual & Luke tied on 54 laps apiece for 15th & 16th. Samual was the winner of this final battle on track.

So, overall…..a great series as usual. Callan a dominant win by 5 points from Bruce in 2nd, with Adrian another 6 points back in 3rd overall. My own effort fell 3 points short of a podium, with some very good performances from the next group of 4 drivers filling positions 5-8.

Ben, DB, Rhys & Rob were all consistent over the series barring 1 or two missed rounds which might have made a big difference to all of their end results.
