So Mantas went to Warsaw last week.. for the FormulaG finals.

He managed to stay in the running despite breaking a supercharger belt during qualification.. His times were all 1-2 seconds off the top mark. But his driving was really perfect.

And on Saturday he won it.

The epicness of cannot be overstated, most of the other cars were pro-built 500HP-1000HP forged monster engines and Mantas's Supercharged MK2.5 is under 300HP and not forged in any way.

They are incredible... especially when the sun goes down

So I've noticed that Mantas moves up and down the list and we think this corresponds to his standing! He's currently third, let's get a few more votes in and see if we can't get an MX5 on the top step again!

If you want to watch the gloriousness again, some kind soul on YouTube has put all the best bits together:

Bloody love this guy.
