SUNDAY DECEMBER 14 2008 - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Due to outstanding performances by DLegend and Triggerfish Mad Dog Racing took the points in both races 1 & 2 tonight, giving them the round win, and continuing their unbeaten run through round 4 of the 'AusFactor V8Factor Team Series', in a hot and steamy Buenos Aires.

The win places MDR second in their pool group for the series and sets up an exciting tail end to the championship, with three rounds remaining.

Race 1 was a very tight affair, with Quasi continuing his run of bad luck with grid starts, and DLegend faltering mid race due to technical issues. Triggerfish flew the MDR flag until the final lap when EAO_Rancho.R slipped inside to take line honours. MDR debutant Richo1 put in a fairly consistent performance, but despite showing a good turn of speed was unable to capitalise. MDR did, however, place well enough to take the race 1 win, by only a point, and knew that they had a fight on their hands in race 2 for the round victory.

Race 2 saw a clean start, with Quasi going off fifth from grid but miss-shifted through turn one, and pulling first gear, rather than second, on entry to the turn two 'chicane' style corner. DLegend and Triggerfish, meanwhile, took advantage of every opportunity that came along and led the charge, battling a determined EAO_Evil, and the ever persistent EAO_Rancho.R throughout the early stages, before taking control when the latter got loose through a turn.

After recovering from the lap one brain fade Quasi began to run down both EAO_Rancho.R and EAO_Blueprint, who were pushing a little too hard on occasion, with EAO_Blueprint having some real problems with grip through the hairpin. Richo1 meanwhile continued to fend off EAO_Smilin~Monkey, who appeared to struggle through both races.

By the completion of race 1 DLegend and Triggerfish had held onto first and second placings, respectively, with Quasi unable to run down the EAO chargers in front, and Richo1 holding position to the chequered flag, giving MDR another victory, and propelling them into second spot on the championship ladder for their pool group.

With Christmas and the new year approaching there is now a three week break before the MDR boys travel to Brasil, to take on the equal second seeded 'Chev Dealer Team' in what will be a full-on battle to decide a clear second place team.
