The Mystery Man has today joined Ministry of Speed. This particular man has been around in Live for Speed for awhile now and to date he has made quite a name for himself in the racing scene. He is a tender age of 17 and from Western Europe.
Some say he has a thing for Filipino women, others say he used to be on E....
...All we know is, he is Sean Lyddon!
In other news:
There was an eventful weekend all round for three of our members in real life racing last weekend with James Peace in the Super 1 Series Karting and Andy O'Brien and Niall Murray racing in the Ginetta Junior Ireland Series.
James who was quickest throughout the weekend had a hugely unfortunate early finish to his weekend as James' team mate attempted an over heated attempt to pass which resulted in him going over the top of James ultimately putting an end to James' race.
Niall and Andy were taking part in round one of the Ginetta Junior Ireland series. Niall entered the event as the overall favourite and didn't disappoint grabbing pole position by .3 of a second. Andy entered the event with the least amount of mileage in the car and shocked many people in setting fourth fastest time in qualifying. Race started and Niall struggled with wheel spin in the rear wheel drive machine from pole position though Andy had a lightning get away and jumped into second into turn one. By the end of lap one Niall was back up into second as Andy taught it was better to let him through and work with Niall away from the pack which paid off later in the race as Murray took a convincing victory along with fastest lap and Andy taking a podium finish in his first ever outing.
Race two got underway from the same grid and with changeable weather many drivers took varying strategies. Andy was on a wet setup while Niall was on dry. Rain didn't appear and Niall made good his get away and took a lights to flag victory with Andy taking another podium in as many races and unfortunate not to take a step higher after a great battle with the ex-karter Joel Richardson.
Overall it was a great event for the Ministry of Speed lads as both head into the next event in the top three championship standing's, with Niall leading the way. We will have video footage from incar camera's soon and we will upload the TV coverage for all you guys to watch. Stay tuned for more.
