Some of you know I do race support of one sort or another for a mate's amateur racing. Last race of the year (not part of the two series he participates in) was yesterday.
The main series he races in pits MR2 Mk1s against each other with as close to factory specifications as is reasonable. He got the nod after the last race that he'd scored enough wins to gain 'driver of the year', which is the best he can hope for as there is no official championship for this season.
The other series by the same club is for all Japanese production cars to enter, without the whole modification restrictions, so he's mostly in it for fun. It's subdivided into BHP classes, and he does well enough in the lowest class. However, when his car is rated at 123BHP and he's up against people in cars who are up to and sometimes beyond 300BHP, he's got no chance.
Pissed it down before yesterday's race. All that power means nothing if you can't hold it on the track. Qualified fifth, first race podium at third, second race podium for second place.
Good weekend.
