Hi Mike,
Saw your movie -> really great !! Congrats !
In this challenge, do they all drive a R300 ?
If so, unbelievable how you are so much quicker on the straight... it was fast !!

You've got two fans now in Belgium, my son and me !! :D :D

Regards,

Wim

Hi mike,
just watched vid, what a comeback after being shunted, I watch these races on the box and they are really close racing, so well done to have caught back up and then push for the win.

They are all the same spec car,
So in theorey all have the same performance.

Slip streaming is huge in racing these, if you can get within two car lengths out of a corner onto a straight you'll be alongside if not past the car in front. In the video we got a couple fo double slip streams where we slipstream the first car get pulled forward, then they pull out to overtake the car they are slipstreaming and we latch onto that cars slip stream.

Motors TV runs a bit behind the actual racing.

Link here to the previous races at Donnington where we got two podiums, good coverage of the second race where we lost it on the last lap.
