    I LOVE these Mustangs. My Dad used to race a Cortina, and I watched this series growing up. The variety of cars is amazing... Minis, Cortinas, Mustangs, Falcons. Incredible. Have fun mate!

    To have never driven the track or car and match the driver that's marked as the "Elite" driver, that's pretty damn impressive.

      @@liquidsnakex Not quite a flawless math there:). In fact on 32 laps race the penalty would equalize the position against full "amateur" team if the "elite" driver was about 6 tenths per lap faster on average, assuming he drives half of the race. Which isn't a crazy pace difference in cars like these.

    This is the best demonstration of why the mini was so good. No power, but on a congested track it can squeeze through, brake late, and make overtakes where larger cars couldn't. It just bullies it's way through.

    Excellent race, at my ex home circuit too. Pretty similar to Goodwood Festival of Speed regarding the mini's ability to trounce the bigger cars around the corners but catching them up on the straights. Nick Swift is a difficult man to beat so you did very well keeping up with him. That was very entertaining to watch and just as thrilling as Goodwood. I was privileged to see Jim Clark a few times at Brands in the works Lotus Cortina. He was absolutely brilliant and I saw him win against the massive Ford Galaxy and other muscle cars.
