Nice Exige tour scheme.
Killer 7 pilot.
Looks like a proper track weapon.
During 360 qualification I failed to find a proper shooting spot, this is just after the passenger bridge.
Mallet / Knight awesome sounding Capri 3 litre.
Fancy livery on this near stock 2 litre 924.
Last years winner: beefy jag saloon.
Awesome sight 'n sound.
More 360 qualification.
On with the show:

One of the 3 D-type reps in the brekkie run.
This is Bob Dewens nice one.
Mamba 23R did steady 2:15s.
Elva Mk7S quickie.
Lauren Cann toured her stunning Elite around at generous 3 minute laps.
Unfortunate Mog had to retire . . .
Unbeateable Crossle 9S.

. . . I guess the more beautifull cars got me destracted from the TR Jon 
Winner Pollard hauled the Crossle around in 2:08.6
D is hard to beat in looks. I bet an XJ 4.2 is in there.
Elva GT160 DNF . . .
Cross my fingers next year will be twice the grid. I missed a few Cobras!
Paddock yum.

On with the show then, Brekkie Run coming in:
D-type coolness.
Yeah, hi there. And: why don't I care it's a plastic rep?
"It must have been with some trepidation that Gwyn Pollard (in this green Crossle) set off at the start of this half-hour race – billed as a prelude to the 360 Motor Club’s six hour endurance race, for qualifying had been somewhat traumatic, his 9S having lost brakes completely at the start of lap seven. Nevertheless, he had made pole position from Chris Williams (Morgan V8) and Roger Donnan in his 9S, the three being separated by 0.8 of a second."
"Eamonn Ledwidge qualified in fifteenth, playing himself back in after an enforced lay-off of a couple of seasons. Furious work by the two Pedros (Cook and Wright) between qualifying and the race saw the Pollard machine back in fine fettle, albeit handicapped by carrying an extra bale of hay, a legacy of Gwyn’s mighty “off” in practice at Riches."
"The flying doctor Donnan had no reported problems and was relishing the race, a task made easier for the two front-running Crossles when the Morgan pulled off at the end of lap one. Gwyn was able to slowly but surely open up a small gap to Roger but this very nearly came to naught when the Safety Car appeared with just a few laps to go."
"Meantime, Eamonn had some rotten luck, pulling into the pit lane at the sight of the black and orange flag – which turned out to be not for him. Should have gone to Specsavers, Eamonn…… At the restart, Roger was clearly on it and a fantastic battle for the lead ensued over the last couple of laps, resolved in Gwyn’s favour by 0.2 seconds. If this is a foretaste of what is to come in 2011, bring it on.

. . . As an aside, I had the pleasure of restoring the 250 GTO that Jack used to own. . . .
Bloody hell, that's one holy job!
TG producers car: Mk1 Escort with an AJP8 in . . . Errrrrrr!
Prove.
Good old Madge we did enjoy at Spa6.
Imp powered Clan: pit covered in alloy bits.
Nicky Canns V8 looked like a sure winner to me.
A few teams browsed eBay and found proper stuff to base their team on. The 924 (3 in the race) proved to be a solid endurance runner.
Gents beef.
Oh dear, the Breakfast Runners coming in . . .
