14th for the Fro, so made some spots up just not sure how many were race passes compared to others misfortune particular up front. It was a good battle up the pointy end of the field.

Yep, some good progress. I was cringing expecting the worst ti happen when Ammermuler was perpendicular to the track.

I thought this was worthy of re-posting from FaceBook on Sambo's behalf... Unreal!!!
Eau Rouge. Spa, Belgium.
In Porsche terms: 235 kph. 2g lateral, 2g in the direction of your spine. In 4 seconds you ascend 80m in the space of 350m.
What does it feel like? Well.. it's a bit like going on a hot date:
It's slightly terrifying before you arrive, it gives you a weird feeling in your stomach and it then takes your breath away. Yet, it's oddly fun and all you can think of is doing it again immediately.

Their Momo-Megatron cars just don't seem to have the pace, do they.
I'm convinced Ben's results reflect his experience in Supercup compared to others with better packages.

it's the teams 3rd year in the series and they've never had a driver finish inside the top 20 in the championship. Ben is currently in 6th and Sam is 14th(and 5th rookie) so it's looking like it'll be their best year by far.

I didn't realise that... Considering that then they're doing pretty good then.
Also aren't they one of the only non-euro based SC teams?

I fondly remember a time (pre 996) when Carrera Cup was so incredibly competitive Sam's time would've had him dead last.

more often than not you remember things being better way back when but you almost never back it up with facts. Feel free to offer some.

Not always Norbs but yes often.. Nothing against the Series now or young Sam you understand. I still reckon this is one of the Premier Motor Racing Series in the World and the cars are mighty.

Wouldn't know where to look Rod, I remember back when I rabidly followed the series consistently seeing the whole spread of the field over about 2 seconds.
To be fair, back then they were fully turnkey racecars just about the only things the teams could do was change the ride height and tyres. I don't know if this is still the case or not but I doubt it.
