 Good afternoon

Pitlane Review (Rounds 1-7)
many thanks to Ade for updating the Round 7 results, there was of course some unexpected results at the Viking Club as well as more expected ones....perhaps.
It was the last plastic track in the series, the remaining 3 being club wooden routed tracks.

Sports Cars (Group 5)
1st Place - LeManx / BMW M1 (112pts)
2nd Place - Bangers Racing / Ferrari 512BB (106pts)
3rd Place - RoadRunners - De Tomaso (69 pts)
Well we still have battles for 1st & 2nd and 3rd & 4th! 
A great run by Bangers Racing Ferrari and a slightly underperformed LeManx BMW M1 has closed the gap between the two, and similarly a great run for RoadRunners De Tomaso puts them back into 3rd position.

InterSeries 
1st Place - RoadRunners / Ford GT40 (113pts)
2nd Place - LeManx / Porsche 917K (101pts)
3rd Place - ALS Racing / Ferrari 412P (95pts)
Not much between the top 3, anything can and probably will happen, but still quite chuffed the RoadRunners GT40 still hanging on at the moment 

Global GT
1st Place - ModSports / Ferrari 550 (109pts)
2nd Place - Bangers Racing / Honda NSX (100pts)
3rd Place - Harrisons Racers / Toyota Supra (83 pts)
Again a significant closing of the gap between the 1st and 2nd positions, the Honda of Bangers Racing is back on the heels of the Ferrari of ModSports.

British GT Sports Cars
1st Place - Brumos RSR / Ferrari 458 (125pts)
2nd Place - Green Star Racing / Porsche 911 (120pts)
3rd Place - ModSports / Aston Martin DB9 (54pts)
Very similar situation as the Event 1, with the contenders for 1st & 2nd, 3rd & 4th too close to call.
But I was very surprised that the win here went to Brumos Ferrari, I would have put money on a home win for Green Star Racing's Porsche!
Perhaps a defining moment in this very closely fault battle.

Construction Class A Cars
1st Place - Team Cube / Ferrari 355 (101pts)
2nd Place - ModSports / Aston Martin DB9 (99pts)
3rd Place - Savage GT / AMV (70pts)
All change in this class with Team Cube taking over the lead from ModSports, perhaps a late run by Savage GT also.

Construction Class B Cars
1st Place - ModSports / Ferrari 550 (106pts)
2nd Place - Bangers Racing / Honda NSX (97pts)
3rd Place - Harrisons Racers / Toyota Supra (78pts)
A significant closing up by the Honda of Bangers Racing on ModSports Ferrari.

Construction Class C Cars
1st Place - Brumos RSR / Ferrari 458 (100pts)
2nd Place - Green Star Racing / Porsche 911 (98pts)
3rd Place - LeManx / BMW M1 (75pts)
Another change at the top with Brumos taking over the Class position from Green Star Racing.

Teams
1st Place - ModSports (368pts)
2nd Place - Bangers Racing (361pts)
3rd Place - Le Manx 338pts)
Bangers Racing back on form for this Round means that they are really close to ModSports.

Round 7 Fastest Laps
   

Additional Note
Ade (Viking SCC) mistakenly thought they had run all the cars in Event 4, and that 2 cars missing from the Record Sheets had been withdrawn before they received the cars. Woodland Fort were contacted to see if they had removed the cars, which they hadn't.
On return from his holiday Ade found the two cars was in the last layer of the box used to transport the cars which he had not noticed. So the two cars had to be run later than the earlier Round.
