had a great entertaining day at Rockingham, the only circuit in the UK with some nascar style banking within the track, plenty of sunshine with open pits we even gate crashed the team talk from the drivers to the sponsors in the Brookspeed pits
the number 6 TeamRPM CC needed to finish infront of the Aston Martin after the one hour race to win the championship overall ! it seems RPM won saturdays race which put them just 2 points behind the AM team
for the first part of todays race number 6 was in fifth place behind the other RPM number 7 car, the AM infront was chasing 2 ferrari's, unfortunately for the AM team their leading car went off circuit at the hairpin after the driver change (braking to late, under pressure i guess) the RPM number 6 and 7 CC went by along with a couple of other cars, while the AM was driving rally style in the grass to get back on track, their race was over...
the RPM driver did the business and worked the CC up the field into first place ! to not only win the race but taking the championship title on their first attempt with the CC's. The number 7 car followed crossing the line in 2nd place, so a great day for them, It was great to see the guys get the trophy then see the usual champagne going every where
(Think the leading Brookspeed viper finished 5th)
