(openPR) - The popular open-formula race at MyControl Speedway had a support race for the first time this week, in the form of a one-make race consisting of Mishi Rossini's newly released MR Blitz. The car is designed especially for racing, and is one of the fastest cars seen at MyControl Speedway, with several 20 secons laps. This was the first event in which the car would establish its racing pedigree, as well as the first event at MyControl to have all drivers in the same car.
The race was short, a 15 lap sprint, and was contested by Mango Birdbrain, Suzy Cudihy, Kandy Tomorrow and Seph Swain. Suzy was the only driver to not have hat at least a small opportunity to get used to the car and as such was at a disadvantage.
The grid was headed by Mango Birdbrain, with Suzy Cuddihy occupying second spot, followed by Seph Swain and Kandy Tomorrow at the back.
It is often said that the most important part of a race in Formula 1 is the first corner, and this was definitely the case in this Blitz Race. A big crash in the first corner took out 3 of the 4 drivers, all taking a long time to recover. Kandy Tomorrow, after starting at the back of the pack, carefully found her way around the pile-up and set about building a large lead. In fact, she had completed 4 laps before anyone else had even completed one.
As the crash was put behind the drivers, they fell into an order: with Suzy Cuddihy second, Seph Swain third and Mango Birdbrain bringing up the rear. Suzy then began to tumble though, as Swain pushed ahead of her into second place, shortly before Mango took third from her a lap later, leaving her bottom.
The main battle was fought between Seph Swain and Mango Birdbrain. Mango squeezed into second place on lap 6. 3 laps later, Seph stole back the silver spot. He held it for another 3 laps, until Mango snuck past again and dug in, holding on until the finish. Kandy Tomorrow was never caught after the disaster on the first corner, and took gold. Suzy had a hard time in an unfamiliar car, and finished 4th.
Here are the stats:
1: Kandy Tomorrow - 15 laps
2: Mango Birdbrain - 11 laps
3: Seph Swain - 9 laps
4: Suzy Cuddihy - 5 laps
