 Good Morning

So it is the very last.......

Pitlane Review
Many thanks again to the South Manchester Slot Racing Club for another nail biting Round, especially for me 

So we are nearing the end of the competition with a few questions still unresolved.
*Will the RoadRunners Merc make it to the finish   and could it prove fatal to to the Team results  
* Who will win the Legends class Ruscillo Racing's Ferrari or is Bangers Racing Williams still in with a chance.
* Will Courtney Sport get another full set of maximum points with the McLaren, probably 
I can feel that Team medal slipping from my fingers 

What a finale !

Early Flyers 
1st Place - Mountain View - Mercedes W196
2nd Place - RoadRunners - Mercedes W196 
3rd Place - Team Cube - Scarab
What a time for the Scarab to show its form, somewhat a little late in the day but nevertheless great to see this runner up eventually make it onto the top of the podium at Manchester. Then there are the woes of the RoadRunners Team who just a few Rounds ago seemed to have the edge on Mountain Views Merc. With the sounds of gearbox problems, it looks like they will be limping home.

Classic
1st Place - RoadRunners - Cooper Climax
2nd Place - Bangers Racing - Porsche 804
3rd Place - Courtney Sport - Cooper Climax
There is some satisfaction that the RoadRunners Cooper out ran Courtney's at Manchester, but following the Merc's demise it is tense in the camp this week.

Legends
1st Place - Ruscillo Racing - Ferrari 126C
2nd Place - Team Tatters - Williams FW07
3rd Place - Bangers Racing - Williams FW11
At last the Ferrari has come good at the penultimate Round, but with only one point in it, could be a very close call for the final.

Modern
1st Place -Courtney Sport -Mclaren MP4/13
2nd Place - Team Cube - Williams FW40
3rd Place - Team Tatters- Dallara
Not the best run for the Williams of Team Cube, but still secure in 2nd place, similarly for the Dallara of Team Tatters. But another stunning Round for the speedy Mclaren of Courtney Sport.

Team Points
The gap is back down to 10 points ahead for RoadRunners, but recent poor running with the Mercedes could spell disaster. Courtney has now moved up to 2nd place and is ready to take full advantage should the RoadRunners Team fall at the last hurdle. To think that Courtney Sport started this event at the bottom of the table after their late entry, their cars are really outstanding


So with DHL keeping us in suspense, hopefully they will turn up today to collect the cars to take them to Wrexham, where our host Paul and guest driver "Steve Hills" will once again be using his "Truspeed Apex Controller" to bring this series to its ultimate conclusion.

So good luck everyone, and especially me.
