Thanks Guys,

Good fun tonight as normal , AND we got all finished in 55 mins!!!

Really hope I can make the last round!

I have to admit, i loved the racing this evening. There may well have been only six of us, but it was certainly very good racing, the first race between myself, Ollie and Chucky was a cracker, and i have now discovered that MX-5's have a strange attraction to each other, especially if they are lime green and driven by Ian. I will hold my hands up to the first one, a slight lag and i couldnt avoid, but after that, it got rather strange in Race 3, love was certainly in the air around Mugello, for small Japanese cars tonight!!

A good nights entertainment then, looking forward to the Grand Finale next Tuesday for the MX-5's.

Race 1 was awesome, I chucked my qualifying advantage away early on and had to fight past chucky for 4th

Race 2 I was my own downfall, again I got it wrong and then the more ground I lost on Irn Bru, the more points I was loosing in my head and the worse my driving got making me 5th.

Race 3 was interesting, I held my reverse grid 2nd then got up to first but only to be passed by pawley (no idea how he makes it stick on some corners!) a couple of safety cars made me third before GTR lost it exiting the second to last corner on to the horrible (made up bit) of track, I saw a gap went for it then his car snapped back violently and took me on the grass and a few others with him! Last lap sprint I tried a move for first but it didn't stick, so settled for second knowing Irn Bru had engine issues and was back in 6th, not really the way I wanted to inherit 3rd overall as Irn Bru was clearly quicker....but it's racing so I'll take it

Be sad to see these little cars go next week, wonder what's on the cards next.....?

It certainly sets up a three way battle for Bronze next Tuesday Ollie, Chucky's not too far behind in the points and Road Atlanta is a fast track and those back ends ( on the cars ) will certainly be twitchy.

I will admit, i havent been a huge fan of the MX-5's so i wont miss them too much, but the Tuesday nights appear to be Championships for the more lower level cars in the game, which to be honest, i find the best cars anyway, so what ever gets selected, i will be more than happy to play with.

I'll need to look into dates and how they will work on the lead up to Xmas. Gutted I couldn't make this round and unsure if I will make the last one. I will set up a vote/discussion thread for the next spec series.

No Road Atlanta thread yet, thats understandable, so I'll stick this teaser picture in here...
