To be fair to the slower guys, this series usually comprises 2 separate races - the "fast" group, and the "slow" group, so the speed difference between fastest and slowest in each race is nowhere near as great. It is probably the very first time about the slowest quarter of this weekends' grid have been in a race with cars as fast as Mr Manon, so it must have been a bit of an eye opener for them at the pace at which he caught and passed them. I think everyone in ERC did a sensational job, some of the other classes, with half the number of cars on the track and no where near the speed difference, had far too much biff and barge for my liking and left me feeling rather dismayed at the often unnecessary carnage to what were immaculate cars at the start of proceedings.
