I often see images that would make a nice capture, and usually cant quite get to the best position to take a shot. Enjoying a coffee whilst in St Paul de Vence this opportunity presented itself.

Following a drunken idea forged earlier that morning, Vince, Paul and I found ourselves on an early morning quest to capture the sunrise in photographs from the crest of Primrose Hill, elsewhere in London.
With only a few hours sleep behind us, our spirits and anticipation levels were running high. Appearances can be deceiving.

These two Ten-Tec Orions make up the 10 meter position. Each rig has an Alpha amplifier. During our CW contest, John, K4BAI, was the predominant operator in this position. It was a terrific, high pleasure and honor for me to get to meet John, finally, after having worked him in contests over many years.

From the look of all the rail some heavy track engineering is taking place in this location.
Donna the WWII Stuart M-5 tank sits in her position at the back of the Memorial Park lot, next to an alley and looking out towards North First St in DeKalb IL.
Donna the tank at Memorial Park at the northeast corner of Lincoln Hwy and First St in DeKalb, Illinois. The tank is a Stuart M5 Light Tank. It is my understanding that this particular tank never saw any actual combat service during WW II. However it might be more accurate to say that, it is not known if this tank saw any service during WWII. Apparently Donna's previous history before her arrival in DeKalb was lost or never given.
Donna arrived in DeKalb in Jan 1949 and was soon placed and dedicated in a prominent location in downtown DeKalb at the corner of Lincoln Hwy and Fourth St, and also near the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks. I recall seeing her there many times as a boy when we visited our DeKalb relatives and I can tell you she made quite an impression in that location.
Before Donna, a captured German WW I cannon and a large honor roll sign sat in the same location but when WW II came along, the cannon was donated as scrap for the war effort. Nobody seems to know what happened to the honor roll sign.
The original location turned out to be problematic for Donna over the years. On August 4, 1961, a train derailment bumped Donna off her cement pad. A few train cars were strewn about the street but Donna was largely unscathed. When I learned this a year ago or so I was fascinated.
In latter years, when the local military officials held their annual service at the location near the busy intersection and railroad tracks, they were frustrated with the train horn and bells and they claimed it was difficult to safely conduct these events, hence Donna was moved here to Memorial Park on May 18, 2002.
I understand their reasoning but I can tell you that for many of us who remember her in the original location, its obviously not the same. You couldnt miss her at 4th & Lincoln but today she has been delegated to the back of a lot where she's seen mostly by those who already know shes there.
Information from the Joiner History Room in Sycamore IL: "Donna came from the Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, New York in January of 1949. There is no mention of her name in the news coverage at the time she arrived or anything about her other than where she came from.
There is a 2002 DeKalb Chronicle article that says “Donna, which apparently got its name from the girlfriend of the tank commander who operated it early in WWII…” Donna was repainted in January of 1949 when she arrived."
With so many Spanish groups scattered and several Spanish leaders hit, and a big unit of redcoats coming up, the table is ceded to the Crown forces.
An enjoyable game that shows the limits of regulars in a messy and jumbled environment The Spanish needed to form up quickly while they outnumbered the Crown and the initial ambush needed to hurt the Spanish a bit more.
The Spanish losses were: 5 in the Florida Militia and their leader KIA 3 in the barely engaged Black Militia The Grenadiers had 8 dead and the Lights lost 5. Oklane was wounded and his Yamasee lost 6. 28 dead altogether.
The Crown forces had 5 Darien Scots killed and Mckay wounded. The Georgia Rangers lost 7 -all near the end of the battle. The Indian allies had 7 killed along with their leader wounded. The 42nd only had 1 man killed-obviously most of the action was on the other side of the trail. Total of 20 casualties plus 2 Big Men wounded.
I really enjoy these sort of under-represented theatres.
Positioned above the beach approach at Weybourne Hope and built into the cliff this Shellproof Vickers Machine Gun Emplacement is semi-sunken with added roof camouflage, all openings have been bricked up. There is a west facing Large Embrasure which has a chamfered roof line above, the Embrasure opening would have been reduced in size with added Sandbags for protection. There is probably steps leading down to a Full Height Entrance, but has been backfilled over the years, and an external Blast Wall gives protection. The rear of the Gun Emplacement as been exposed by coastal erosion, and it's probably just a matter of time before she topples over the cliff !
The Vickers Machine Gun Emplacement is constructed with brick-built shuttering and poured concrete, and is built to a Shellproof specification with 51in walls, it's a rectangular square plan of approximately 14ft x 14ft with chamfered corners on the front face and roof line. There is a forward facing Large Stepped Embrasure to house a single Machine Gun, the Entrance is to the left of the Embrasure within the line of fire, this is protected by a large and thick Blast Wall. Inside the Gun Emplacement behind the Large Embrasure is a Large Concrete Table which was used to mount the Vickers Machine Gun on its Tripod. There is also up to three Embrasures/Loopholes for either Rifle or Bren Light Machine Gun use. In the rear wall is an Air Vent. Normally positioned in pairs as a 'Two Gun Section' and often on steep forward facing slopes, usually semi-sunken with Earthen Camouflage covering their Position.

The Battery Langdon magazine and control facilities were hidden in a man-made hill between the two gun positions.
At Battery Langdon. This is a reinforced concrete coastal defense battery completed in 1923 to guard the entrance to Pensacola Bay. The two 12-inch (305 mm) guns here were in open air concrete pads, with no overhead protection. In 1943, the concrete casemates we now see were constructed at both gun emplacements. It's located about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) East of the old Fort Pickens. The guns were scrapped and the battery closed in 1947. It's now a historical relic. Near Pensacola, Florida.
Start with first position. First position is arguably the easiest basic ballet position. Stand with your feet together, ensuring your heels touch. Then, turn each leg outward so your feet are perpendicular to your torso. Keep your heels together, but allow your feet, calves, and thighs pivot until your feet form a straight line parallel with your shoulders. The end stance is first position.
- Your whole leg from your thigh to your feet be turned outward. The end result will turn your feet in a straight line on the floor, with your heels in the middle.
- First position for the arms looks like you’re holding a beach ball in the middle of your stomach. Keep your fingers about 4 inches (10 cm) apart, and tilt your hands just slightly toward your face.
Powis Castle (Welsh: Castell Powys) is a medieval castle, fortress and grand country house near Welshpool, in Powys, Wales. The seat of the Herbert family, earls of Powis, the castle is known for its formal gardens and for its interiors, the former having been described as "the most important", and the latter "the most magnificent", in the country. The castle and gardens are under the care of the National Trust. Powis Castle is a Grade I listed building, while its gardens have their own Grade I listing on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
The present castle was built in the 13th century. Unusually for a castle on the Marches, it was constructed by a Welsh prince, Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn, rather than by a Norman baron. Gruffydd was prince of the ancient Kingdom of Powys and maintained an alliance with the English king Edward I during the struggles of the later 13th century. He was able to secure the position of his son, Owain, although the kingdom itself was abolished by the Parliament of Shrewsbury in 1283. After his father's death, Owain was raised to the peerage as Owen de la Pole, 1st Lord of Powis. Following his own death c. 1293, and the death of his only son, he was succeeded by his daughter, Hawys Gadarn, "the Lady of Powis". Hawys married Sir John Charlton in 1309.
In the late 16th century the castle was purchased by Sir Edward Herbert, a younger son of William Herbert, 1st earl of Pembroke, beginning a connection between the family and the castle that continues today. The Herberts remained Roman Catholic until the 18th century and, although rising in the peerage to earls, marquesses and Jacobite dukes of Powis, suffered periods of imprisonment and exile. Despite these setbacks, they were able in the late 17th and early 18th centuries to transform Powis from a border fortress into an aristocratic country house, and surround it with one of the very few extant examples of a British Baroque garden.
In 1784 Henrietta Herbert married Edward Clive, eldest son of Clive of India, a match which replenished the much-depleted Herbert family fortune. In the early 20th century, George Herbert, 4th Earl of Powis, redeveloped the castle with the assistance of the architect George Frederick Bodley. Herbert’s wife, Violet, undertook work of equal importance in the garden, seeking to turn it into "one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, in England and Wales". On the 4th Earl's death in 1952, his wife and his sons having predeceased him, the castle passed into the care of the National Trust.
History
First castles at Welshpool: 1111–1286
Unlike the castles at Conwy, Caernarfon, Harlech and nearby Montgomery, which were built by the English to subdue the Welsh, the castles at Welshpool were built by the Welsh princes of Powys Wenwynwyn as their dynastic seat.[1] In addition to the current site, two motte-and-bailey castles and a set of earthworks are located nearby.[2] The names Trallwg/Tallwm and Pola are used interchangeably in early primary sources, and it is unclear which of these sites is being referred to.[3]
The earliest reference dates from 1111, when Cadwgan ap Bleddyn is mentioned as having planned to construct a castle at Trallwng Llywelyn,[3] the oldest record of a native Welsh castle.[4] Domen Castell, a motte-and-bailey near the modern railway station, is considered the most likely site of Cadwgan's castle, although it is uncertain whether it was completed as he was assassinated the same year.[5] The first documentary account of an extant castle at Welshpool is a description of the successful 1196 siege by an English army, although the castle was retaken by the Welsh within the year.[5][6]
The earliest castle at the current site may have been a timber building constructed by Owain Cyfeiliog or his son, Gwenwynwyn (r. 1197–1216).[7] The present masonry structure contains 13th-century fabric,[8] most likely the work of Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn (r. 1241–1287) – although historians are uncertain when this took place.[a][10] In 1274, Gruffydd's "first castle" at Welshpool was destroyed by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd as punishment for his involvement in a scheme to assassinate Llywelyn.[b] The castle was documented again in 1286, when it was listed amongst Gruffydd's possessions as "la Pole Castr".[12] A detailed examination of Powis Castle's extant masonry carried out between 1987 and 1989 revealed early stonework incorporated into the later structure, putatively the remains of an early stone shell keep.[13] At the end of Edward I's conquest of Wales in 1282–83, the king permitted Gruffydd to rebuild his castle at Welshpool as a reward for his loyalty.[14]
Early history: 1286–1644
Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury[c]
In 1286, four years after the conquest of Wales, Gruffydd's son, Owain ap Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn became the last hereditary prince of Powys when he renounced his royal title, and was granted the barony of de la Pole, (i.e. "of the Pool", a reference to Welshpool, formerly called just "Pool").[d][16][17] The ancient Kingdom of Powys had once included the counties of Montgomeryshire, much of Denbighshire, parts of Radnorshire and large areas of Shropshire, but by the 13th century had been reduced to two independent principalities – Powys Wenwynwyn and Powys Fadog – roughly equivalent to Montgomeryshire and South Denbighshire (plus Maelor Saesneg), respectively; Welshpool had become the capital of Powys Wenwynwyn, of which Owain had been heir. On the death of Owain, the castle passed to his daughter Hawys, who married Sir John Charlton.[17] The Charltons continued to live at Powis until the fifteenth century when two daughters, Joyce Tiptoft and Joan Grey inherited the castle and estates. Both were equally divided, each daughter and her husband living in a portion of the castle.[18]
In 1578 an illegitimate son of the last Baron Grey of Powis, began leasing the lordship and castle to a distant relative – Sir Edward Herbert (d. 1595), second son of Sir William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke. Edward eventually bought the castle outright in 1587, beginning the connection between the Herberts and Powis Castle which continues today.[19] Sir Edward's wife was a Roman Catholic and the family's allegiance to Rome and to the Stuart kings was to shape its destiny for over a century.[16] Sir Edward began the transformation of Powis from a border fortress into an Elizabethan country house. The major remaining element of his work is the Long Gallery.[19]
Herbert's descendent William Herbert, 1st Baron Powis (c. 1573–1655), was a supporter of Charles I, and was granted the barony of Powis in 1629.[19] His loyalty during the English Civil War cost him his castle and his estates.[20] On 22 October 1644 Powis Castle was captured by Parliamentary troops and was not returned to the family until the restoration of Charles II in 1660.[21]
The Herberts: 1660–1800

On the restoration, the Herberts returned to Powis, and in 1674 William Herbert (c. 1626–1696) was created Earl of Powis (of the first creation). The state bedroom was installed in about 1665 and further improvements, including the construction of the Great Staircase followed in the 1670s. These developments were most probably carried out under the direction of William Winde, who may also have designed the terraced gardens. His employer, although restored to his estates, and raised in the peerage, was barred by his Catholic faith from high office under Charles II. On the accession of the King's brother, James in 1685, Herbert became one of the new king's chief ministers, and was again advanced in the peerage becoming Marquess of Powis in 1687, but fell at the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and followed James into exile in France.[e] William III granted the castle to his nephew, William Nassau de Zuylestein, 1st Earl of Rochford. Herbert died, still in exile, in 1696.[24]
Despite their 30-year exile, the Herberts were able to continue with developments at the castle and even to live there on an irregular basis, the Baroque water garden below the castle being completed at this time.[25] Their fortunes were also materially improved by the discovery of a lucrative lead mine on their Welsh estates.[24] The second Marquess, also William, was reinstated in 1722. On the death of his son, the third Marquess in 1748, the marquessate became extinct, while the castle and estates passed to a relative, Henry Herbert (c. 1703–1772), of Oakly Park in Shropshire, who was made 1st Earl of Powis (of the second creation) by George II.[26] Herbert married Barbara, the fifteen-year-old granddaughter of the 2nd Marquess, in 1751. Their eldest son, George Herbert, 2nd Earl of Powis (1755–1801), died unmarried and the earldom of the second creation became extinct.[f][27] Powis was much neglected during his tenure. John Byng, 5th Viscount Torrington, a diarist and traveller who chronicled his journeys into Wales in the 1780s and 1790s, described the castle in 1784, "In the gardens not even the fruit is attended to; the balustrades and terraces are falling down, and the horses graze on the parterres!!!"[28] The castle itself was in no better condition, a visitor in 1774 describing it as "in Neglect and Ruin".[27] Nonetheless, the potential of the site was recognised. George Lyttelton, the politician, poet and essayist, recorded his impressions in 1756, "About £3,000 laid out upon Powis Castle would make it the most august place in the Kingdom."[29]
The Clives and Herberts: 1801–1952
The Outer Courtyard with the Fame statue in the foreground
In 1784, Henry Herbert's daughter, Henrietta, married Edward Clive (1754–1839), the eldest son of Clive of India.[30] Clive had followed his father to India, and served as Governor of Madras. Henrietta's brother died in 1801, whereupon the title lapsed; in 1804, her husband was created first Earl of Powis (of the third creation). The Clive fortune paid for long overdue repairs to the castle, which were carried out by Sir Robert Smirke.[31][32] Their son, Edward (1785–1848), inherited his late uncle's Powis estates on his 21st birthday, taking the surname Herbert in compliance with his uncle's will.[30] Edward Herbert served in a range of administrations as an Anti-Catholic Tory, his speeches in the House of Commons being "cautious and pertinent, although marred by dull delivery". He died in 1848, following a shooting accident at Powis in which he was fatally injured by his second son.[33] No further major changes were made to the Powis estate during his time, or in the long tenure of his eldest son Edward Herbert, 3rd Earl of Powis (1818–1891), although the castle was well maintained. In honour of his great-grandfather, the earl was offered the viceroyalty of India by Benjamin Disraeli but declined, writing "Not worth considering. Powis" on the envelope containing the invitation.[34]
The final alterations to Powis Castle were undertaken at the beginning of the 20th century by George Frederick Bodley for George Charles Herbert, 4th Earl of Powis (1862–1952). The rooms designed by Bodley remain his only extant decorative scheme; the longevity of the 4th Earl, the deaths of his heirs, and his bequest of the castle to the National Trust saw the early 20th-century remodelling remain largely unaltered.[g][36] The 4th earl's wife, Violet (nee Lane-Fox), undertook the final transformation of the gardens of Powis Castle, which she felt had the potential to be "the most beautiful in England and Wales".[37] The Countess died following a car accident in 1929, and Lord Powis outlived both his sons, who died on active service, Percy from wounds received at the Battle of the Somme in 1916,[38] and Mervyn in a plane crash in 1943.[39] On his own death in 1952, he bequeathed the castle and gardens to the National Trust.[h][42]
The National Trust: 1952–present
The 4th earl was succeeded by his cousin, Edward Herbert, 5th Earl of Powis (1889–1974). Edward's heir was Christian Herbert, 6th Earl of Powis (1904–1988). He was succeeded by his cousin, George Herbert, 7th Earl of Powis (1925–1993),[42] who was in turn succeeded by his son, John, the 8th and current Earl.[43] The Herbert family continue to live in part of the castle, under an arrangement with the National Trust.[44] The Trust has undertaken a number of major works of restoration during its ownership, including the Marquess Gate,[45] the Grand Staircase,[46] and the sculpture of Fame in the Outer Courtyard.[i][47] The castle and its gardens receive around 200,000 visitors annually.

This is a photograph from the first running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 9th of October 2016 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the first year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish.
There is a very large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village, the 25KM mark outside our home and at about 17 miles at the top of Blackshade Bridge and the highest point of elevation on the course. They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157673672195732

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase.

Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

Queensbury probe for a weakness in the opposition defence during a 26-22 win at Allerton Bywater in the First Division of amateur rugby league's Yorkshire League. Two early tries at Ninevah Lane put Bury 10-0 up but the hosts hit back with great determination to lead by two points at half-time then claimed a 22-14 advantage after an hour. Divisional leaders Queensbury clinched victory - and maintained a 100 per cent start to the 2018 season from seven games - with two tries in three minutes during the closing stages. After a double dismissal for an exchange of punches, both teams played all but 27 minutes with 12 players.

The Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), known as the Great Black Cormorant across the Northern Hemisphere, the Black Cormorant in Australia and the Black Shag further south in New Zealand, is a widespread member of the cormorant family of seabirds. It breeds in much of the Old World and the Atlantic coast of North America.
The Great Cormorant is a large black bird, but there is a wide variation in size in the species wide range. Weight is reported from 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs)[1] to 5.3 kg (11.7 lbs),[2] with a typical range from 2.6 to 3.7 kg (5.7-8.2 lbs).[3] Length can vary from 70 to 102 cm (28–40 in) and wingspan from 121 to 160 cm (48–63 in). It has a longish tail and yellow throat-patch. Adults have white thigh patches in the breeding season. In European waters it can be distinguished from the Common Shag by its larger size, heavier build, thicker bill, lack of a crest and plumage without any green tinge.
In eastern North America, it is similarly larger and bulkier than Double-crested Cormorant, and the latter species has more yellow on the throat and bill.
The Great Cormorant breeds mainly on coasts, nesting on cliffs or in trees (which are eventually killed by the droppings), but also increasingly inland. 3-4 eggs are laid in a nest of seaweed or twigs.
The Great Cormorant can dive to considerable depths, but often feeds in shallow water. It frequently brings prey to the surface. A wide variety of fish are taken: cormorants are often noticed eating eels, but this may reflect the considerable time taken to subdue an eel and position it for swallowing, rather than any dominance of eels in the diet. In British waters, dive times of 20–30 seconds are common, with a recovery time on the surface around a third of the dive time.
The Great Cormorant is one of the few birds which can move its eyes, which assists in hunting. [3]
The past weekend saw a lot of great racing at the Bira Circuit just outside Pattaya on Highway 36 which goes towards Rayong.
Some of the best race car drivers in Thailand were gathered to race and compete for the 2014 Thailand National Championship .
Over 150 cars had been entered into different classes ranging from the small Eco car class cars to the big powerful and fully modified Pick-ups and Touring Cars.
The biggest event of the day was the Pro Car Class, which is comprised of 1500 cc and 1600 cc Production cars made in an ASEAN country after 2005.
The cars race each other and even though some have bigger cc engines there balance of performance system with extra weight to the more powerful cars makes the class and cars very evenly matched which again makes for great and close racing.
Inspire Magazine’s car from CEA Racing had been showing great speed in the Friday practice sessions setting several new personal fastest laps several times during the day, so expectations were high before the qualifying sessions.
Thomas Raldorf who is the driver of the CRA Racing Car in the Pro Car class did not disappoint, as he on his first lap out set the pace for everybody else to try and match.
After the Qualifying was over Thomas had only qualified his car on the front row in second place and would have a great starting point for the 1st race Sunday morning.
Having raced in Scandinavia for many years in both rain and snowy conditions Thomas always fancies when it rains in Thailand and was hoping that the rain would be around the track during Sunday as it had been all week.
Come Sunday morning the track was wet for the first few races but then dried up and stayed dry the rest of the day, so Thomas and CEA Racing knew that they would have to try and fight it out on a dry track.
At the start of Race 1 Thomas was up alongside the leading car down towards the first corner but had to concede as he was on the outside into the corner and slotted into 2nd were he was able to stay for the rest of the race, although he was under considerable pressure from the driver in 3rd for the last 4 laps of the race.
Between the 1st and the 2nd race of the day a few adjustment was made to the car for better handling and the car was back on the grid with Thomas starting from 2nd row in 3rd place for the 2nd race .
Regulations state that the driver with the fastest single lap in Race 1 will start on Pole Position for the 2nd Race of the day, and since CEA Racing had 3rd fastest lap in Race 1, they had to start 3rd although they had finished Race 1 in 2nd place.
At the start for Race 2, Thomas was all geared up and ready to challenge for the win again, and what a start he had…….
Thomas shot out of his starting grid like a rocket and went straight up between the driver in 1st and 2nd and took over the lead of the race before the first corner. Over the next few laps Thomas managed to pull out a gap of more than 100 Mtrs down to the 2nd and 3rd placed drivers as they were fighting with each other for positions.
Unfortunately an accident further down the grid caused the Safety Car to come out on Lap 3 and all the space he had gained was suddenly lost, as everybody was bunched up behind the safety car.
At the Restart Thomas again had a very good start and was able to stay in the lead but was not able to break away from the driver in 2nd place, as he was having to drive very defensively .
On lap 7 of the race The driver in 2nd managed to squeeze himself up beside Thomas in turn 2 and then an intense fight for the lead saw the 2 cars side by side with only a few centimeters between then trough the next few corners until Thomas eventually had to give up his position to avoid running of the track. This unfortunately allowed the train of cars behind to also pass and Thomas had to slot into 4th and take of the challenge again.
The next 5 laps was very thrilling with the 4 cars fighting for position almost every single corner and eventually finishing with 0.011 seconds between the 1st and 2nd placed cars.
CEA Racing and Thomas never really recovered and finished in 4th less than a second behind the winning car.
Next race will be held on the 22nd and 23rd of November in Buriram on the new FIA Grade 1 Race circuit which has been built for bringing International Motorsport to Thailand.
