This past Thursday night, five drivers took their open-wheel racers to the streets of Monaco (Rob Merino's version).

Note: After sending the track to the drivers, I reconfigured it for Tabletop and in doing so inadvertently changed the speed limit signage for Portier from 60/40 to 80/60. Kevin noticed just before we hit that corner and it was corrected.

Order of Finish

1. M.Polcen
2. J.Schultz
3. K.Keller
4. C.Kennington
5. M.McPhee

Builds

Thanks to Jim for taking in the builds.

Grid

Row 2: Keller 1w+4s = 3.0
Row 3: Schultz 0w+1s = 0.5
Row 4: McPhee 0.0
