Overall wins for Nick Porter and Mike Thurston

No mishaps, no shunts - just plenty of close racing, up and down the field

Nice bit of 3 wheel action there too! Congrats to Mike Thurston on winning with a newly built car - I think that car has bits of my old gearbox in it too!

A brilliant couple of rounds, hats off to all those involved in the series. Hopefully I'll make the Castle Combe round as well.

That's right Mike-couldn't have done it without your gearbox casing, thanks!!

3hirty8ight · 29th March 10, 09:55

Nice to see of couple of my wagon in there Chris! Good to finally put a name to a face too!

WUR gave up in the second race.. despite getting up to 3rd by druids on the first lap! How frustrating!

RIP-MK3 · 29th March 10, 14:37

some cracking pictures.... really want to get to see a round of this this year. Moto GP, BTC and this are on the hotlist

Mike_H · 31st March 10, 09:33

Great pics!

A few early season teething problems then?

Did it feel like you had any more grip with the splitter?

steved · 31st March 10, 09:48

Yep more power more problems, still its my fault as i only had an uprated VR6 clutch so now have just paid out £400 for a Helix paddle clutch.
Splitter wise yes it felt fantastic a little twitchy on the straight but the turn in was superb i managed a 53 second lap in the first race and a 54.01 with a slippy clutch on the second race so my aim this year is low 52's

Mike_H · 31st March 10, 10:36

Twitchy?! Need a diffuser to hold the back down now?

steved · 31st March 10, 10:52

Not allowed in the DMN so need to design something that cant be seen as being a Diffuser

Horney · 31st March 10, 22:07

The last few of mine.
