LFS Bangers

The second UK versus continent head-to-head saw just eight drivers attend the Autocross Arena Oval. Thankfully, it was an even split of 4 British drivers and 4 European drivers who competed in the fight. There were some poor shots tonight so please remember to keep your hits legal. The ramp allcomers were highly entertaining, with one race only having one finisher!

The teams were as follows:

TEAM GB
27 Cap
606 Jon
616 Jam
786 Brett

TEAM EUROPE
47 Michal
66 Colin
474 Miniman
960 Pepino

All heats, the final and the DD were for points, and only the Top 10 counted. Points for each side after each race are listed after the race result. Three non-points allcomers were held.

Heat 1: Jam, Miniman, Colin, Michal, Jon, Brett - GB 21 - 24 EU
Heat 2: Jam, Cap, Pepino, Michal, Jon, Colin, Brett - GB 29 - 20 EU
Heat 3: Pepino, Miniman, Jon, Cap, Brett - GB 21 - 19 EU
Heat 4: Miniman, Jam, Brett, Pepino, Colin, Jon, Cap, Michal - GB 26 - 26 EU
Heat 5: Cap, Michal, Colin, Pepino, Brett, Jon - GB 21 - 24 EU
Heat 6: Jam, Colin, Michal, Pepino, Cap, Miniman, Jon - GB 20 - 29 EU

The scores after the heats were a tightly poised GB 138 - 142 EU so the final was really the decider.

Final: Miniman, Pepino, Jam, Cap, Colin, Jon, Michal, Brett - GB 46 - 58 EU

Allcomers 1 (MRT Ramps): Michal, Miniman, Pepino
Allcomers 2 (UFR/XFR Ramps): Brett, Miniman
Allcomers 3 (Unlim Ramps): Brett (no other finishers)

DD: GB - 10 points to GB

FINAL OVERALL SCORE: BRITAIN 194 - 200 EUROPE

It was a tightly fought battle but by just six points, the continent came out on top. Europe claimed the first heat but Britain took an early lead, and were still ahead by the end of heat 5. But strong performances from the blue side in heat 6 and crucially the final saw them win before the DD. Jam, GB's main scorer with 55 points, claimed three heats, with Cap also picking one up. Pepino, Europe's and the meeting's top performer with 57 points, claimed a heat with Miniman winning the other heat and crucially the final with his German Bandicoot teammate in second. Michal won the first allcomers while Brett won the last three races straight, with 2 Allcomers and the DD.
