Before I start this report, I must strongly apologise for the way I ran this meeting. It was nowhere near my usual standards and I felt terrible about it. Just a few points I'd like to mention:
1. When the mini-league was announced, it was stated that in light of the real world situation, all drivers were to behave sensibly during meetings. Unfortunately, this evening saw the culmination of a situation involving multiple drivers (I will not name them as they know who they are) that sent the meeting downhill, with incorrect complaints of illegal hits in one instance. I will repeat it once again: PLEASE COULD ALL DRIVERS BEHAVE SENSIBLY DURING MEETINGS!
2. The World Cup race suffered a disastrous error where I entered the /zero_all race reset command twice on the opening lap. I was very angry at this and it unfortunately threw me off massively for the rest of the night. I again apologise to everyone who was impacted by this, especially in the second Allcomers where it was not made significantly clear that the race continued into the DD, followed by not actually realising that the DD had concluded much earlier than I thought it had!
If you enjoyed the meeting regardless, then I can only thank you for not letting the above ruin your meeting like it did mine.
Onto the meeting itself and 13 drivers went across the Scottish border to Cowdenbeath for the all-wrecking action of the World Cup. The "entertainer" of 16 Zotez was a notable returnee to LFS Bangers, having not raced for a while. FXO "specialist" 606 Jon and XRT expert 961 Pepino were the only drivers not to go for the trusty RB4 tonight.
The first six heats were allocated as qualifiers for the World Cup race itself, and amazingly saw a tie between Team Bandicoot's 66 Colin and Team Huichen's 199 Taylor at the top of the standings; Colin won three heats compared to Taylor's one and so secured pole. 621 Miniman won the other two heats but due to failing to finish the first three heats ended up fifth on the grid. The full table and grid can be seen below; 240 JL did not compete in the World Cup so while he has been included for completeness, he has been struck out on the grid.
Despite being polesitter, 66 failed to convert his advantage as he was persistently bullied by Zotez, getting knocked down the order earlier on and instead had his Team Bandicoot teammates Miniman and Pepino take over at the top. However, the TB twosome were both controversially removed from contention by Team Huichen pairing 171 Airis and 675 Beatdrop on lap 16, letting 2019 World Cup winner Looney go in front and would keep the lead to win this year's World Cup. 961 recovered for second while 199 claimed third. Taylor and 616 Jam were the Allcomers winners while Pepino claimed the DD.
The top 10 scored in the heats, the points for which went to the World Cup grid.
