Nice, is he in your. Class. Watched some of his other Vids and the power difference is clear to see.

Thats pretty poor driving by the Noble driver. Just bumps into the side of him randomly.

I guess accidents do happen and everyone involved can likely afford it.

Nope 4wd and 2wd cars are split by classes, so it doesn't matter who crosses the line first as we both won our class but it's great fun battling with Charlie for the overall win.

He has the advantage on the straights but I have it in the corners. Both cars doing 51 second laps, nothing else comes close really.

Haha, that's me, watch it again, this is a race not a track day, he left space so I passed and I had the corner, he turned into the side of me... The text on the video even says he wasn't paying attention.

Either way, we both had a great time and a bit of paint is nothing to worry about. Just thought I'd share some of the excitement from the weekend.

Yep rubbings racing and all that. In the vid it clearly shows him driving in a straight line and you nudging into him though.

Awesome cars and looks like great fun.

The races are on Motors TV next Wednesday at 5:20pm, in race 1 I started 9th and finished 3rd in the dry and in race 2 I win in the wet due to the focus jumping the start and getting a 10 second penalty, I also have the fastest lap in the wet, well worth a watch.

Great effort Graham, that is quick and very wet, balls of steel springs to mind hehe The focus took a gamble up the inside kamikaze style, seen lots of those moves end in the gravel. Good use of your mirrors, keep the vids coming. Still waiting for Kevin's video shout

I would say great driving Graham, well done, looked to me as though u had lost grip and the correction caused the touch, not much u you can do other than not correct it and have a bigger shunt, thats racing.great job.

clearly there are some who have never competativly raced commenting on this. hardly a lunge from graham when he is 3/4 past the car and the car then turns in. the second manouver by the focus is a proper lunge down the inside but a fair one imo that graham should have defended but knows for next time wink However there are two differing opinions as to who is right and who is wrong in these situations usually depending on who you are supporting.
