I'm getting in before the door closes for good

Think I'll be bringing up the rear with my rusty 1:56's! Struggling with understeer after initial turn in. The two real ones I've got in the garage handle much better even the one on 13" wheels!

Awesome video! Great fun racing, although that's the race where I got punted straight off at Leowes Hairpin as seen in the vid! Frenetic stuff though!

OK mate, thanks for letting us know.

Great end to Mini Madness. 10 racers over 2, 16 lap races, and the racing was MAD. Some super close battles in each race. It did get a bit bumpy here and there, but this was always going to be. Weescotman became the third racer to score the double, cementing himself on the Mini Madness wall of fame.

What a great night's racing!

Ade, I was hoping you'd put the starting positions up too like you do with the Sunday Cup! Any chance you could do that?

(hehe-I was quite proud of my 3rd place grid slot!!!)

I will get onto that later. Im also planning on getting some pics up.👍

 

[dranddad]

Well done on your double win Will, congrats to the field for your finishing places.

 

[GTP_ADE]

I really enjoyed last nights final Mini Madness. There were some great racing battles in each race, with some lasting almost the entire race. Awesome fun, if not a little boisterous here and there. Weescotman showed us how its done, and his victory's in both races puts him in the archives of Mini Madness history. This has been a fun event to run, and it may well return at some point in GT6, but for now it really is time to garage these super tuned, super fun Mini's for the very last time.

Now for some pics of last nights action. For Jammyrex, there is the starting grid for race 1 which he requested, with all the other pics also from race 1. I will try to get some race 2 pics soon.

 

[dranddad]

Really great action shots there Ade, someone was burning some rubber.

 

[weescotman]

Great fun last night guys, surprised i got the double as normally i'm mid pack with the faster guys on track. Clean air in the first helped, and lucky to make up positions in the second. Big thanks to the hostest (ade) for putting on another amazing event. After Gary's club race next weekend i'll be taking a small break from online racing as i have one more endurance race to do and want it done before GT6 comes out. And a few things to deal with in life in general, sunday cup and all you racers have helped take my mind off of things recently and i have to say thankyou all.

 

[jammyrex]

Love the pics Ade, and thanks for putting up the qualifying positions!

Congrats to weescotsman, impressive slicing through the field in the 2nd race 👍

Pleased with my 5th in the first, but it did get a bit boisterous at times and was a little bit frustrated to get shuffled down the order in the 2nd race, but overall there was some great racing and I made a big error on the start finish straight to let 4 or 5 cars go by when my overtaking manoeuvre went a bit wrong about a third through the race, but at least nobody else suffered. I really enjoyed getting to grips with the mini! Thanks Ade for hosting, and for the tips on setup. Interestingly I stuck with my original gearing as I seemed to get on better with that, but probably because I was more used to it from the previous evening's practice session.

Thanks again and I look forward to racing with you guys in the future, hopefully with another GT5 event but with GT6 on the horizon I can't wait to see what that brings for us all
