Chengu rev, was chuffed when this one came up, little did i know that i would flake and miss 3 easy br's grr... otherwise the result was to be expected. 1-0

Metropia rev, well its always promising at the start when your half a second away but one missed br and the tinyest of nicks on barriers meant 2 seconds would be hard to catch up, so why not freestyle not enjoy weaponless races. 2-0

With my camera beeping and turn off sadly no filiming of the last two races...

Moa rev, trying not to give up my position i was in the direct firing line for rocket, although i fired back DP89 turned the corner to avoid em, +3seconds down lol even with generous amounts of shileds turbos and bombs.. not one quake to turn it around. With a suitably fast time it clear to see why. 4-1 win.

We did modesto to finish it off, i was hoping for a 4-2 result but after some well timed weapons (see DP89's vids) its was scenic tour of modesto, even with br's before the hairpin and the turbo on drop, u disappeared man! 5-1

Many thanks for the races, i thought you would do well in the last avalon cup, so i expect you to do well!
Also a big high-five for kanar for creating this whole experience, you rock.

I'd also like to thank Andy once again for the great match and for making the vids. The mighty English Lions have some great members and it's a shame that two of them had to meet like this. But we'll be racing as a team once again soon I'm sure.
