UNSEASONABLE weather caused chaos for entrants in this year's Bolton Round Table Mini Le-Mans pedal car race.
Drivers in the popular event have been forced to endure gale force biting winds, and rain, during the 24-hour race at Moss Bank Park.
Car three of the "Ride and Drive" team from Bolton, and sponsored by Boundary Garage, was the early leader last night.
The race, which has been held for the past 16 years, was under threat because of a failure to attract financial support and council cut-backs.
But Bolton Round Table stepped in at the eleventh hour, providing full financial and technical support to allow the event to continue.
All money raised will go to charity.
