Race 3 from the MINIs a.k.a. "The Decider"

http://youtu.be/sW3mHIsvcq0

Storming start, Josh defended, went the long way round. Clipped wing mirrors through Duffus but job done. Couple of laps figuring out where I was gonna do Chris, got the cut back and dragged him up the straight and gained the place.

Then got Thirlwalled at the hairpin. You know the moves coming and you still cant defend from it!! The clatter coming through spat me right out in to the gravel and lost all my speed for the straight, just managed to hang on to 4th in front of Lewis as the safety car came out with Marco parked in the gravel at MacIntyres.

Decent restart and the pressure was off when Lewis got binned, just sat back watching Kenny and Joe slug it out. Aiden made his move and got the lead, then Kenny and Joe came to grief and I moved through and held on to 2nd.

Kenny rejoined and finished 9th, Joe only managed 17th due to a broken wheel after the clash so Kenny took the championship.

The guys that watch our racing on MotorsTV are in for a treat, I've seen other people's onboard footage. It was mental!

Great race result Malcolm :) Sounds full of action so look forward to seeing it on Motors. It was a messy day at Casle Combe in the FF1600. Although I've done loads of testing there it was my first race. Outqualified my more experienced team mate who was in a faster class then got spun out at the first chicane mayhem but rejoined to score a finish. At Oulton next Saturday for double header final meeting before the Walter Hayes at Silverstone next month.

Race 1 cost me a rear quarter, door, sill, headlight, bonnet, damper and a wheel...

Still, nice to finish the season with a decent result. It was madness all round, think I got off comparatively lightly.

You should bring the FF to Knockhill next season. Their racing has been really good this season and I'm told its quite a track in a single seater.
