The 2011 Christmas Fun Races took place on Thursday 8th December and they have been on YouTube (see below) since Friday 9th. We have had a fantastic response to this new idea of showing the ‘Fun’ races to everyone and nearly 1,500 of you have already logged in to see what happened – awesome! However, it is now time to publish the four ‘Top 10′ listings. As you can see from the times, each of the races were close and they had plenty of action in all of them.

The Christmas Fun Race is always a popular event and the three winning teams have each been sent prizes based around actual circuit memorabilia (yes they really did come from Monza and Spa) along with certificates and trophies. Well done to everyone who took part and it is already looking good for next year’s National Final in June – I can’t imagine how close that is going to be!

Thanks also to all of the teachers who submitted entries and put your reputations on the line! I’m sure that you got a lot from it and from the emails we have had, so did your students! We’ll certainly be doing it again!

Well that’s the racing over for 2011 and I’ll be in touch again in the New Year. Have a wonderful Christmas all of you and here’s wishing you good luck in 2012!

Brian, Wendy, Paul, Mandy and Ian.

Here are the ‘Top 10′ tables. If you would still like to watch the races on You Tube, the link to access them follows the Teacher’s Race ‘Top 10′.
