Targa Florio Road Race update
So not withstanding the issues with the lap timer, it was a very enjoyable Round, the track surface was very smooth and the track had good contrast between a long straight along the back and challenging curves at the front side. Our drivers used differeent controller types, with Mike running the inside lane and Pete running the outer Lane. The track was set at 10volts. Apart from the cars which were the most prone to falling off, most cars were run with very few de-slots if any in most cases.

So the overall results after Round 7
Classic Event
So we now have Modsports Jaguar, regaining the top after a difficult Round for the Batmanx Jaguar and Brumos Corvette ran really well on this Round and gets promoted to 2nd overall. Bangers Racing Ferrari did not seem so strong on this Round either. ModSports Jaguar XK120B had a good run this time and is making a strong comeback after the earlier rounds costly breakdown.
1st - Modsports (Jaguar XK120A ) 132pts
2nd - Brumos RSR (Corvette C1) 131pts
3rd -Batmanx (Jaguar XK120) 127 pts

Gran Turismo 
Neither of the Corvettes seemed particularly running well on Merseyside, but Brumos car found better pace on the inside lane. Bangers Racing Cobra was very fast here, and good runs also from Equipe Trelawney's Ferrari 250P. But getting very close at the top.
1st - Brumos RSR (Corvette Coupe) 138pts
2nd - Bangers Racing (Shelby Cobra)  129pts
3rd - Demon Tweeks (Corvette Speedster) 121pts

Prototypes
A good day for both the leading cars here, from the rest of the pack BAracer Alfa 33/3 seemed particularly well planted on this track.
1st - Roadrunners (Ferrari 412P)  177pts
2nd - Ruscillo Racing (Ford GT40) 155pts
3rd - Demon Tweeks (Mclaren Elva) & Brumos RSR (De Tomaso)139pts
 
So the Class leaders are now:

Class B-  Brumos RSR  (Corvette C1)
Class C - Equipe T (Ferrari 250P)
Class D - Brumos RSR (Corvette Coupe)
Class E - Batmanx Porsche 908/02)
