I did have no fear, as it is Marks car.
(By the way, I did the first 200 km with my fixed engine the last three days...)

Excellent Pictures there!

And a great day, I will certainly be attempting to get my race license back next year to have a go myself. The mix of cars was great & Yes Andreas, it was a bonus not having to look at Rich's Tramp beard when he had his helmet on :)

As far as Pete's question re Minisprints, yes, they would be welcome.

The only real drawback is the high entrance fees for a single 30 minute race.

Mark, Pete and Tim,

Visit Northern Ireland next year? You will get VIP treatment rest assured.

I will help if given two weeks notice. It will be 90% less than the Circuit event :) :)

I reckon the A-series challenge race at Brand should be epic!

Very much looking forward to that one.

I might do Oulton in May, Combe in July and Donington in October depending on what else comes up on the calendar.

The last 3 races are combined with Allstars so you will have to watch out for Cobras and Falcons coming past.

neither of them

the front one is a mustang, it was the 'ovaltine' camero that took Rhodes off

andy rouse wouldn't have made such an error, he was an absolute gentleman to race with, rather than forcing his way past us slower cars, he would always 'hussle' us through the corners / twisty bits, then wait until the straights before he would go past.

its the difference between someone who races the whole race, and an amateur driver who only races as far as the next corner!

I think it was John Shoesmith.

Not to mention the harness being bolted through the parcel shelf.

I know. Such a shame. Shouldn't have been allowed to happen. And to a true legend. Would probably have been relatively unscathed had the car been properly prepared.
