Just back..

Was an ok night, a few decent cars there..good turn out from thr Lotus Boys as usual.

Only 1 of the Ferraris turned up, a 360, but he wasn't pushing it at all.

GT40 replica (i think) was nice.

And Kev..i presume you were the Esc Cos.. I parked next to you when i came in (blue wagon) But didn't know which one was you to say hello.

Weather stayed good too

Managed to capture a Skyline spinning on video. Will get it uploaded when I get some web space. Meanwhile here are some stills.













Managed to get behind the Ferrari 360 when it went out for a few laps, also caught on video.

Well I was there unlike the TVRs. I thought the turnout was a bit disapointing. Just the usual Track Day tarts and the Ferrari and the GT40.
I was there with my 10 year old nephew and I tried hard to get him out in a friends caterham but he just wasn't up for it.
Saw a couple of wagons. A pale blue one and a reddish one. Was that you?

And the noise from that GT40...mmmmmm......lovely

The GT40 was something else..

Although had to hold my breath when he spun at Duffus..

Luckily for him the gravel stopped him, and strangely enough, he came in after that.

Saw the GT40 in my mirrors on the straight about 200 yards behind me so was hoping to let him by after Clarks to get some video of him. Just as I was going down towards the chicane I saw the cloud of bits and pieces flying as he went off. Glad he was alright, but he could have waited till I was behind him to do it.

I *was* behind the GT40 when it spun, but unfortunately I was on a cool down lap, so he'd pulled away a little...I rounded the top of Duffus to waved yellow's, and spotted him in the gravel...

Nice car - Quick in the straights, but didn't seem to suit the twisties at KH...
