Obviously being just down the road, I just might do!
It'll round off a great week for me (only 3 days) because of the Easter Monday and Fri 13th off (for MOT at API).
Fri 13th + MOT = Fail (literally!) lol

Oh dear - not the marshalls' finest hour trying to extract that beached car. Tried pulling it via the front grille - with inevitable results. WTF.

Quite an entertaining first race, think Plato's overtake attempt was a tad ambitious but good to watch

lol it's like Keystone cops... 7 cars just gone off into the kitty litter at Druids, synchronised style.
Apparently Matt Jackson's car suffered a engine failure and dumped oil.

That's the side of motorsport I find annoying. The constant, "Yeah x and y have done a great job, etc...". I know it's inevitable and that the drivers no doubt get instructed by their employers to 'plug' at every possible opp. - it's simply the other half of being a prof. racing driver. But don't like it, nonetheless.
Half of the job of being a racing driver is to be a corporate puppet.

Brilliant first 3 races of the season. Plato n Neal at their best, some of the best dog fighting I've seen them do.
