Masters A-Cheev-ment


(NIGE) Congratulations to Eddie Cheever for winning the Grand Prix Masters - Grand Prix of Britian.

In a situation a la Hungarian GP, Silverstone was drenched and it provided one memorable race.

Nigel Mansells race was over before it had begun with diffuser difficulties making his car almost undrivable. Dispite a lengthy spell in the pits he was unable to resolve the issue and after several gallent attempts finally admitted defeat.

With cars seemingly spending more time off the circuit than on it in the constantly changing conditions, the battle for the lead soon became a head to head between Eddie Cheever and Eric van der Poele.

The ever present commentary of one Sir Murray Walker (Surely the Knighthood must be on the way!) completed one of the most entertaining afternoons of Motor Racing I have ever seen.

Congratulations to everybody involved in bringing us this fantastic series! I hope the powers that be can finally be pursuaded that the GPM's combination of Quality Drivers, "Gizmo"-Free cars and Minimal downforce is certainly the way to go!
