Once again I apologise profusely for my absence from Spa-Francorchamps and Monza. Due to the absence of a few frontrunners in this race (because of my complete disorganisation), we have an interesting result for the championship.

2. Enforcer 19

So Tommykl takes his second win of the season, with main championship rival and leader Mario right behind. The absence of Aislabie and This Could Be You has harmed their championship ambitions somewhat, though the top positions are still up for grabs with eight races remaining. Tommykl's result was impressive in that he managed to guess the entire podium correctly, whilst Enforcer has been consistently one of the top scorers in recent races, scoring the exact same results as Mario for three races straight now. However, Mario's consistency is causing his championship rivals hell in their attempt to overhaul his position as the leader right now. So, what does this do for the championship?

Mario's lead is reduced from 20 to 19 points, whilst Enforcer edges close to CarloSpace's third position in the championship. Expect the Monza results soon! Until then

It always feels pretty good to win your home race! I'm not supremely confident in overhauling Mario and his far more judicious use of double points, but anything can happen...
