LOL...it was a 10.5 actually!

But to be honest, the retirement of the Thundershot is due to many things...the plastics are all soooo soft it broke everytime I drove it...mainly in the steering department...it wasn't really a true 'race car' when it was made...and certainly didn't age well in that department

Setup/tyres...again, it wasn't a true race car, so the options for tuning are sooo limiting that the fun factor soon dried up...it's fun for a few laps/races, but then gets tiresome as it's not a good handling car at all and putting up with that noise as well it just didn't seem worth it!

I shall take up position as the camera man in this series I think...that'll be time better spent for me to be honest
