TSA GRiD Competition Results

Last weekend several TSAians took to the starting GRiD to take part in the second GRiD competition.  As you may remember, cam the man was the winner last time around, so it was up to everyone else to catch up.  Here’s how it went down.

Race 1 – Istanbul Park
The opening race saw Manorhowze taking the chequered flag closely followed by cam the man and mannysingh.

Race 3 – Milan
Oh how we all love this track (just to be clear, that was sarcasm). After his earlier troubles tom_lord was able to join the lobby in time for the third race.
Milan was chaos as always, 3 cars wrecked during the race and nearly a few more as the wrecks just stay there causing new roadblocks for the other drivers to avoid. After the dust (and bodywork) had settled cam the man brings it home in first place with mannysingh in second and tom_lord getting on the podium in his first race of the day.

Race 4 – Nurburgring
Off to Germany for race 4 and tom_lord is getting into his stride now and takes the victory with cam the man second and mannysingh in third.

Race 5 – Spa
The finale at Spa started with a bang (well a huge incident that was pretty much all, er, someone’s fault) that took out half the field before we even got to Eau Rouge. 5 laps later and tom_lord walked away with his second victory with cam the man second and Baxteros in third.
