Here are the FINAL results for the first race in the 2010 Algorfa Forumula. Slight edit needed - 1 point too many added to Kovalainen.

Well done to those of you who predicted Ferrari dominating this year.

[Jeff n Paula]

I think we have earned more points in the 1st Race than we did in the whole of last season.

[bob-n-haze]

So you think you may be challenging at the top of the league table this year Jeff?

A bit like Witton Albion ...

All the best

19th my best position ever, only one way now, although if i can get the money togeather to buy an old milk float i might enter a team (could it get any slower) i missed the start and it wasn't until it said lap four, i realised it wasn't the parade lap
