I ran in the nippon challenge on saturday to learn the circuit as hadn't raced at Rockingham before, the coupe is a bit out classed in this series due to build regs but we can still give a few cars a hard time.



Nippon Challenge Race 1: Had some good battles throughout, finished 2nd in class

Awesome! Looks like a blast, and some great finishes!



Hope the damage wasn't too bad from the MR2 hitting you.

 

mainly door damage, luckily it was more of a glancing blow rather than full on. Sill cover will screw back on, need to change the door, bumper and front lights. N/S front wing and h/light surround have been pushed in slightly but it should all go back together. I think it must have pushed me over the curb a bit as it tore the valve out of the o/s front and slightly buckled the wheel.

 

Ouch. Well at least it's repairable.
