Rob’s Motor Racing Selections System Review
Rob’s Motor Racing Selections is a backing selection service that should appeal to all ‘Petrol Heads’, as it says in the blurb on the sales page. Indeed, even the sales page has plenty to read about the season to come in both Formula 1 and Moto GP. These are the two categories of motor racing that Rob concentrates on, with a variety of bet types, from season bets, to race outrights, fastest laps and match bets to name a few. We aren’t told anything about Rob or his selection strategy. Only that in the 2010 season, his selections made a profit of around $50,000 on $100 bets.Cost is 129GBP for the season or 29GBP per month. The season runs from March to November, so has already started. Selections are emailed each week of racing, as well as the season bets when you join.
I will be following Rob’s Motor Racing Selections for eight weeks, given that there is roughly one event per week. Even that will be a small sample, but we’ll see how it goes anyway. There doesn’t appear to be any staking advice given, so I will set a bank of 100 units and report on 1 unit staked per bet, unless advised otherwise.

Final Review – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections
We only had two winning weekends out of ten, and we ended up with a loss of 19.42 points from our starting bank of 100 points. The length of the review, although long time wise, was short in regards to the number of selections, or rather, events. So it is a little difficult to draw a solid conclusion. There was nothing during the review period however, that left much confidence in the selection method. You’d have to have a lot of confidence in past published results to give this one a go I think. At £29 for a month of selections it doesn’t seem like that great a deal, as there are usually only four events per month, and sometimes no selections for an event. The service also seemed a bit patchy, with no notification if there were to be no selections, or did the vendor just not feel like posting any?
I’m going to give this review a Fail. There seems not much about it to recommend.

Day 64 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 03/07/2011
Italian Moto GP.
One selection for one winner this week. However, it wouldn’t have helped if you only checked the website, as the selection was only posted via email.

No racing this weekend.

Day 43 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 12/06/2011
Sorry for the delayed post for this week, as I was away.
Winner Jenson Button managed to take out both of our outright and top 3 selections and win the race, which was no good for us apart from the fact that he drove the winning car type. At least our boys were contending when they crashed out. The match bets were just under break-even.

Day 36 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 5/06/2011
Well, one really strange selection this week: Dani Pederosa an each-way chance at 8-1. The bookies would have had a sure bet there as Pederosa was not even competing due to fracturing his collarbone the week before! The news was out on June 1st that he wouldn’t be competing, but the selection was there on June 3rd.
Apart from that, we only got the placing of Lorenzo in the other each-way bet.

Day 22 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 22/05/2011
No email was received prior to this weekend and no selections were shown on the website, and still haven’t appeared as I write this report. It is claimed that the emails went out. These selections have been emailed to me after the weekend, after I enquired about the absence of selections. As they are not glamour results, I think we may be able to take them as true selections.
| SPANISH F1 GRAND PRIX (OUTRIGHTS) | ||

I’ve put together some figures for staking to win one point for each bet. Still not pretty, as it is showing a loss of -15.69 points.

Day 15 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 15/05/2011
A total wipeout unfortunately, with the crash of Simoncelli and Pedrosa in the closing laps spoiling all chances of a return.

Day 8 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 08/05/2011
Not such a good result for the first Formula 1 fixture of the trial, with especially the match bets letting us down. We may have to monitor the outrights and match bets separately, but we’ll see how it continues first.

Day 1 – Rob’s Motor Racing Selections – 01/05/2011
First event of our review period, but no success this time, with Lorenzo being overtaken in the closing laps to finish second while Stoner finished third. Rossi narrowly missed the placings and Simoncelli crashed out on the opening lap whilst contesting the lead.
