On board car 77 race two, the big one from Sunday afternoon. Started well down the grid guessing near 30th or more due to marshals getting confused or given wrong paper work on the grid, we should have been 17th but it's all a long and boring story. Tim Davis has had such a lot of bad luck in Spa over the last few years, to cheer him up a bit, I offered him, to take over from me at the pit stop which was ok with all concerned and we were very happy to have him on board. No pressure then, to have the quickest Tuscan driver around, in the car and fortunately for me I did put in the fastest lap out of the two of us during the race................yes LOL. sound quality not brill, you might have to turn it down a tad.

Just watched the first vid, good stuff Perry, loads of traffic on there - must keep you busy all the time.
You're a star , giving up half your race to allow Tim a drive, nice one and it looked like you both had some good racing.

one small step for a big behind..............



Tim is such a top bloke helping all TVR drivers out, constantly going the extra yard to help out and after some more bad luck in Spa he was due a bit of joy. Well done to him for carrying on passing cars and bringing the car home. He deserves the Thunder Trophy this year...................if only I could vote smile

Seeing Tim's face after his engine let go to ruin another Spa, then seeing him again after the race you fantastically shared your drive to a podium finish.....
...actually Perry, I think that you deserve the Thunder Trophy this year!

You will be getting my vote this year...eligible or not....top bloke that races a Tuscan.

race one from Saturday , bit of a damp sqib as far as a result due to two long SC and been held in the pit lane for two laps when trying to exit after pit stop. Still there was some good racing with a super fast Mustang and the Famous Whelan Porsche 911RSR till it tripped up in front of me on a damp and oily corner.
