Mondello F3/GT Supports
What did anyone think of the racing at Mondello last weekend? The domestic classes were on top form........maybe some of the drivers were hoping to get spotted and signed up by one of the F3 teams
Good weekend though!! |

I thought the Global/Stryker races were belters. The days when we used to be able to doze through the Stryker races are definitely long gone!!
Little disappointed with the Fiats - although I suspect they were on their best behaviour Historics, lovely to look at as always, but they're never at their best when racing on the international. Libres were good but shame Mr. Matheson blew up in qualifying - he's always entertaining! Interesting to see the two Fildes boys out! |

Well spotted! the Fiats were threatened to within an inch of their lives not to swap paint. In fact, if two cars had touched in the assembly area by mistake, licences would have been lost!!
Yeah the Stryker races were great, pity they are on circuit at the same time as the Globals though, it's hard to commentate on both.....or maybe I'm just no good!! Yeah Jonathan Fildes was great in Libres. Fastest lap, two spins and a pitstop and he still finished on the podium!!! |

Historics grid was rather small compared to what they can dig out the shed.
Strykers/Globals, good racing and having them mixed certainly spiced it up. Libre, sorry, can't see the point unless they can fill the grid. One word.... Vees!!!!! Get a whole grid of 'em and let's have some real racing. |

Did you SEE the first Historic race? Closest finish I've seen in ages, fantastic last lap with the Elan and Tiger!! Yeah, the grid was a little bit sparse I suppose but at least they weren't strung out too much. Great battle with the BGTV8 pair of Pamela Cochrane and Maurice Cassidy too! Wait till I dust off my Fiat 127..................
Same as that with the Libres.....fantastic racing but they could do with a few more out. Great race from Jonathan Fildes.......Did you know he only won the dead heat for third because his transponder was on the nose of the car and Bob Copeland had his in his pocket!!!! |

Top of the PDC?? Nice spot to watch all right!!
No rust on my 127 pal!!! (Thankfully) Yeah, kinda thought that bout the transponder, although when we interviewed Bob afterwards, he still had the transponder in the pocket!! Never heard the Supercar theory, sounds odd............... |

Really enjoyed the Fiats and the Stryker/Global races - although the first lap of both got a little hairy where I was!! The only one I didn't enjoy was the FF1600... Especially the second, where nothing happened.

Seriously though, it was a great meeting - Seems that there's some uncertaintly over it happening again, but if it does, I'll be back! By the way, Mumsy was a little surpised that there was nothing in the program about Marshalling or who to contact to get involved, or that there was no announcment on the tannoy (although she could be mistaken). Might be an idea in trying to get a few more members of the orange army out there? |

Steady on, you'll get me in trouble with 'er indoors. "Plugging marshalls" indeed
Yeah, I always try to get the oul mention in for the mrmci.com site and have even begun "plugging" (ahem) this site too. Missed last weekend though. I was doing a bit of work for charity but I don't like to talk about it |
