8 teams competed in the 2010 Mayday Mayhem 2.4hr endurance race. 4 teams decided to run Tamiya M-chassis cars, 2 teams ran 190mm touring cars, 1 team ran a "carpet-spec" HPI Rally and the Shambles team ran a Tamiya TL01 with off-road wings attached to the front & rear of the bodyshell to make it look hideous and handle even worse.

In the early stages of the race, Le-Men and the Red Mist Racing team set the pace, followed by the team from "Norfolk-en-chance". The Shambles team were busy generally crashing and re-attaching the wings to their car in 7th place, whilst some close racing was going on between the various M-chassis cars.

As time wore on, the Red Mist Racing team suffered some reliability problems and breakages that saw them drop down the order, the Chinese "We Won" team emerged as the top M-chassis team and Pat became more grumpy with his team's lack of enthusiasm for repairing the venerable HPI Rally which is almost as old as he is.

Meanwhile the Shambles team continued to use more & more gaffer tape to hold their wings on.

All this left Le-Men lapping at the top of the timesheets with "Angry Rob" in a surprisingly good mood for a change.

So, at the end of te race, Le-Men finished in 1st place some 69 laps ahead of the team from Norfolk led by Pat "Grumpy Shambles" Piesley, with the "Crispy Wanton" team in 3rd with the top M-chassis. Some superb prizes were then handed out to the top 3 teams, whilst the rest of the drivers looked on with envy, wishing that they had done better.
