Mighty Mini Update & Two FREE tickets to be won

 
Rounds 7 and 8 of the Mighty Mini Championship took place at a surprisingly sunny Oulton Park, Cheshire.  After a lot of rain over night the track was still damp in places as qualifying started for the Mighty’s, just 4 laps into the session and Brayden Fletcher (younger brother of Kelvin Fletcher from Emmerdale) spun in the tricky conditions coming out of Old Hall and made heavy contact with the tyre barrier bringing out the red flags.  With less than half the session remaining and the track drying it was a 3 lap dash for qualifying Caroline managed a reasonable 14^th place.
A few issues on the way to the grid saw empty grid spots in front of Caroline, as the lights went out she made a good start a jumped a couple more cars, although she did run wide at Old Hall so had to be careful for the rest of the race not to get a penalty!! She was soon in a battle with Brayden and fellow lady race Penny.  Brayden got to the front of the tussle and started pulling away whilst it took Caroline another lap to pass her. She finished in 9^th place.
Frustratingly the top 8 were reversed for race 2 which gave pole to Brayden Fletcher who had finished just one place in front of Caroline. Several of the normal front running cars had encounted problems in race 1 which lead to a bit of a mixed up grid for race 2 as they were starting form the back. The faster cars worked together and pushed their way through the pack very quickly although Caroline found herself running around 10^th place having made another good start.
Only a few laps into the race and Ryan Cowley braked too late for Knickerbrook hitting the tyre stack and rolling the car and bringing out the red flags. Ryan was ok due to the safety systems in the car but the mini had seen better days and needed to be moved to a place of safety.
The race restarted and it was a 2 lap sprint to the flag where any car could be the winner. Unfortunately for Caroline another tagged the one in front of her into a spin and she had to come to a standstill to miss him putting her at the very back of the field. She managed to catch-up and overtake 3 cars in a lap and a half and finished in a frustrating 15^th place.
