Covamalia leading home Mr Flobadob and the rest of the field to cross the line 1st in Lobby 2	Shouty (#1) and PJ (#45) traded places several times in the opening laps.	The 100m Board of Doom claims its first victim in TommyB, leaving Ajokay nowhere to go...	...but somersaulting through the air.
PJ was driving the wheels off (the ground in) his Stratos in Lobby 1.	Lobby 2 line up for a tootle round the Top Gear West track	Covamalia's surprising consistency (and ability to not crash) meant he had a near race-long battle with the newcomer, Buffy	Ajokay and Digibull indulge in some drag racing
Dan used the speed of his Miura to power past half the field on lap one.
