2018 Micro Bangers Results and Points

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 02 Mar 2018, 11:50 pm

Round 1
Ten drivers attended the opening round of the new-look Micros championship this evening at the South City Oval. We had a league debutant in the shape of yet another Dutchman: 133 Poppy. There were also 2 spectators in the meeting who I hope register for the league soon! Unfortunately, the South City Oval will not be used again in the league as tonight's meeting did not go very well with it; I can only assume the short straight and small right angle corners just didn't work with the less than agile UF1s.

Reigning Micros World Champion Rik delivered one of the all-time greatest LFS Bangers performances by dropping just TWO POINTS throughout the entire evening. The car and track combination appeared to be perfect for the Dutchman as he won every single race bar two, so that's 4 heats, the final, all 3 Allcomers and the DD. Ade and Pepino were the only ones who could break the streak, picking up a heat each. #136 eventually finished 3rd on the night and #961 4th, with Jam picking up second thanks to his 3 2nds including one in the final.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Round 2
Twelve drivers visited Aldershot tonight for the second round of the new graded Micros championship.

A tight battle at the top of the points board between two of the league's greatest rodders saw the recent speedster come out on top once again as Rik claimed the meeting ahead of veteran rodder Shane. Although the two-time 2 Litre World Champion won 3 heats, the current Micros World Champion claimed a heat as well as a pair of 2nds before winning the final while his rival could only finish 6th. The Hampshire track saw some excellent racing and thunderous hitting (especially from the WCW boys! ;) ) that saw the results well spread out. Jonesy claimed his first race win since his return to the league in Heat 4 and ended Shane's DD streak by claiming the final race of the night (although Shane blew it by rolling himself! :lol: ). Colin claimed a heat and the first "Speedbump Canyon" Allcomers, with Jam winning the second of those races and Cap was victorious in the sole standard Allcomers race.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Drivers in italics finished but did not score points. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Shane, Miniman, Rik, Cap, Jonesy, Colin, Jam, GoodHabits, Jon, Brett
Heat 2: Rik, Jonesy, Shane, Cap, Jam, Jon, GoodHabits, Colin, Looney, Brett

Round 3
A much lower field of nine drivers competed at Taunton this evening for the third round of the new graded Micros championship. While we had some good action throughout the night, it was a shame to see numbers steadily drop off as the meeting progressed.

It was a case of two low grades dominating the meeting as white grade Colin and yellow grade Brett won all the points races, with the Dutchman claiming 4 heats to the Englishman's 3, consisting of 2 heats and the final; the latter won the meeting by just THREE POINTS and will surely rocket up the grading table. Jam claimed a rare DD win (possibly his first ever!) and an Allcomers while Cap won the other Allcomers.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Colin, Brett, Pepino, Looney, Jam, Cap, Jon
Heat 2: Colin, Brett, Cap, Jam, Ade, Jon, Looney, Pepino
Heat 3: Brett, Ade, Jam, Cap, Jon, Colin, Looney
Heat 4: Brett, Tilson, Colin, Pepino, Jam, Cap, Jon, Ade, Looney
Heat 5: Colin, Brett, Pepino, Ade, Jam, Tilson, Cap, Jon
Heat 6: Colin, Pepino, Tilson, Jam, Ade, Jon, Cap, Brett

Final: Brett, Ade, Jam, Colin, Jon, Tilson, Cap

Allcomers 1: Cap, Jam, TIlson, Ade
Allcomers 2: Jam, Ade, Jon, Cap, Brett, TIlson

DD: Jam

POINTS
1st: Brett - 70 points
2nd: Colin - 67 points
3rd: Jam - 61 points
4th: Ade - 49 points
5th: Cap - 41 points
6th: Pepino - 35 points
7th: Jon - 39 points
8th: Tilson - 32 points
9th: Looney - 17 points

Round 4
The Micros championship's fourth round saw 11 drivers compete at the hard-hitting Warton tonight. Danish driver Caltec made his full LFS Bangers debut having only competed in fun meetings until now. It was also good to see current Micros World Champion Rik return to LFS Bangers after a brief period away, and was clearly rusty as he didn't win a single race! :lol: This was a thumping meeting with some great racing naturally overshadowed by some storming hits on the famously wonky Lancashire oval.

Current Points Champion Cap proved once again that consistency is king as he won the meeting despite only winning a single points scoring race (as well as an Allcomers). #27 finished in the top 3 in all but one points race, and most of these were third places with just the aforementioned heat 3 win and a second in heat 6. Present 2 Litre European Champion Michal finished just three points behind Cap, largely thanks to his heat, final and DD wins (the latter achieved in hilarious circumstances as former Euro champ Jam managed to get wedged on one of the kerbs and flipped forwards onto his roof) while birthday boy Looney claimed the first two heats and had a pair of 3rds but ended up third overall. Two surprise heat winners were Dutchman Mr. T-Bone in Heat 5, bravely holding off the rest of the field, and Caltec who got his first proper win after a long battle in Heat 6. Jam was the other winner on the night with 2 Allcomers.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Looney, Dumbo, Cap, Mr. T-Bone, Caltec, Rik, Michal, Brett
Heat 2: Looney, Rik, Cap, Dumbo, Jam, Caltec, Jon, Michal, Mr. T-Bone, Brett
Heat 3: Cap, Jam, Looney, Caltec, Mr. T-Bone, Michal, Brett

Heat 5: Mr. T-Bone, Jam, Looney, Michal, Cap, Dumbo, Jon, Caltec, Rik, Brett
Heat 6: Caltec, Cap, Michal, Jon, Pepino, Looney, Jam, Brett, Rik

Final: Michal, Rik, Cap, Jam, Dumbo, Looney, Brett, Jon, Pepino, Mr. T-Bone

Round 5
The fifth and final round of the Micros championship once again saw 11 drivers racing, this time at the north east Scotland extremity of Crimond. Contrary to his retirement last month, 961 Pepino made his return to league action so maybe holding that head-to-head meeting was a bit premature! :lol: As is the case with Crimond, it always delivers solid racing and wrecking action.

It was a case of grading playing its part as recently crowned Unlimited World Champion Miniman claimed the meeting with 70 points; following his rather poor micro performances so far this season (ironic indeed for someone named MINIman) this put him as a white grade with every other driver in the field a blue or higher. This resulted in 4 heat wins and 2 seconds, including one in the final, despite being moved back to yellow grade after heat 4, such was his dominance! Shane finished just 3 points behind with a final win and 2 Allcomers. The aforementioned returning Pepino claimed two heats with Colin the surprise DD winner.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Miniman, Pepino, Colin, Shane, Jam, Looney, Mr. T-Bone, Jon, Rik, Brett
Heat 2: Miniman, Rik, Shane, Colin, Jam, Looney, Brett, Pepino, Jon
Heat 3: Pepino, Shane, Colin, Mr. T-Bone, Jam, Rik, Brett, Miniman
Heat 4: Miniman, Pepino, Colin, Jam, Shane, Jon, Brett, Rik, Mr. T-Bone
Heat 5: Pepino, Miniman, Shane, Looney, Jam, Rik, Colin, Jon, Mr. T-Bone, Brett
Heat 6: Miniman, Shane, Pepino, Rik, Colin, Brett, Mr. T-Bone, Jam, Jon, Looney

Final: Shane, Miniman, Rik, Colin, Pepino, Mr. T-Bone, Jam, Jon, Brett, Looney

Allcomers 1: Shane, Pepino, Jon, Brett
Allcomers 2: Shane, Jam, Miniman, Rik, Colin, Pepino, Spook, Brett

DD: Colin

POINTS
1st: Miniman - 70 points
2nd: Shane - 67 points
3rd: Pepino - 61 points
4th: Colin - 60 points
5th: Rik - 47 points
6th: Jam - 42 points
7th: Mr. T-Bone - 29 points
8th: Brett - 23 points
9th: Jon - 20 points
10th: Looney - 20 points
11th: Spook - 0 points
