MR2 Brands Hatch 2010 - Best Race Ever

Alex is starting on pole for the final race of the 2010 Mk1 MR2 Racing series, in what turns out to be the most exciting race yet with crashes, spins and slides on the wet Brands Hatch Indy circuit.

To win the 'Driver of the Year' title, Alex needs to finish somewhere in the top 15 drivers. He gets a poor start and drops down to third place, but watch as things go from bad to worse at the second corner.

Alex manages to keep it out of the gravel at Druids but has to wait for the whole field to pass before he finally rejoins in 30th place. He is then on a mission to make his way up the field as quickly as possible.

As if things could then get any worse, 3 laps in exiting Druids a car in front spins and collects another one, blocking the track and leaving Alex with pretty much no escape.

Thankfully, the MR2 still seems fine to drive, so Alex pushes on making up for lost time and places.

In the end, after 15 laps, he manages to make up a total of 26 places, finishing 4th overall, meaning he had done more than enough to take the title.

The best race yet!

Is your tranny's 3rd gear synchro hooped? Sounds like it. I have always loved the snarl of the 4age above 5 grand.

@skookumummno Yeh it's a bit clickety! You're right, when the engine comes on the second cam it sounds glorious.

Your driving is good mate but your car has at least 10-15hp more than others, it flys at straights.

Well done mate ...firm but very fair. Comparable to Pablo Donoso's drive in the Star Mazda. I salute you :)

GREAT STUFF - would even better to watch if there was a least one other driver like you in it.

Looks like you Rally drive or go-kart in your spare time?

The poor old synchros are getting a hammering!

I was sure I saw my Nana in the back half of the feild!

As for the rest they have poor entry and exit speeds & brake too much.
