Title: Okay... What happened?

Anyone at Rockingham this weekend? Sounds like complete and utter mayhem!
The story goes that somehow the meeting got delayed by rain. So the decision was taken to run the pick ups as soon as the track got dry enough. Unfortunatly this rather upset the runners in the ford fiesta championship, who lost a round due to this. So they blockaded the pick ups in the paddock, the pick ups tried to push them out the way and the fiesta drivers let their tyres down!
Sounds like a total shambles which caused a meeting to be canned early.
Anyone got a better insight?

Well that's exactly it. it sounds unbelivable that one set of competitors should attempt to sabotage another set's racing, but that's apparently what they did
Successfully too.

So that neatly proves my theory that anyone driving a Fiesta is either a moron, chav, or w*nker. In the case of the second option, they qualify for the other two by default.

But not interesting!

To be totally fair to the fiesta boys, I can sympathise with them losing out, but that's not the way to show your disgruntlement.

No, that's the way to get all the other tracks to ban you from entering the pit lane!
