Halfway through the season and TEAM CRS Mighty Mini are sitting 4th in the championship

Rounds 7 & 8 of the Mighty Mini Championship took place on a busy Sunday at Castle Combe, Wiltshire. Mighty were first out to qualify Caroline managed a respectable 7^th place on the grid, the times were very tight and Maria Brown who she’d been running with in qualifying was in 3^rd there was just  a third of a second between them in the times.
There was a long wait before the first race which was good as the back box fell off Caroline mini as the chequered flag came out for the end of qualifying, a helpful marshal returned it and with a few modifications it was back on the car in time for the race! Caroline made a good start in the race, at Castle Combe it is a very long run up to the first corner so the 20 cars swarmed into Quarry for the first time together. Penny Jones half span the car as she braked for the corner causing Caroline and a few others to take a wide line to avoid her as she re-joined the track, making a small gap to the cars in front. Over the next few laps Caroline concentrated on putting in clean fast laps and was soon onto the back of the front pack. She spent most of the race happily sitting in 5^th place letting the cars in front fight it out, this played into her hands as Maria received time penalties for running off the track on multiple occasions. She did overtake to sit a 3^rd but a small error in breaking at Quarry saw her drop back to 4^th at the end of the race.
There was only a short gap before the Mighty’s went out to race again so it was a quick refuel and check over. The top 6 were reversed for the second race so Caroline started from the second row in 3^rd place. This time there was absolute chaos as the cars went in Quarry for the first time, Maria made contact with Peter Bonas which left him with broken suspension, unfortunately Caroline was the car directly behind him and ran into him quite hard. She jinked around him and carried on with the race albeit a few places down the order. The safety car came out so that Bonas’ car could be safely removed from the track. Whilst the safety cars was out one of the team members was on the pit wall and gave Caroline the thumbs up as she drove past to let her know the car was ok.
Caroline got a good restart when the safety car went in and started overtaking the cars she dropped behind in the first corner incident and was soon back with the front pack. She was unlucky again when Maria tagged the back of Penny at the Esses causing Penny to spin. Caroline was left with nowhere to go and caught the front of Penny car, it slowed her down but despite the contact she was able to continue after dropping down the order again. A few more overtakes saw Caroline finish in 5^th place with a battered and bruised Mini.
Just over halfway through the season and Caroline is sitting 4^th in the championship and leading lady.
Next rounds 15/16 August at Silverstone
