Thursday will getting the paperwork submitted, car technically inspected and hopefully take the car out on the track for shake down and to let the drivers learn the circuit. Friday is practise and qualifying with the race starting at mid-day on Saturday.

Harris,
Have a look at the teams web site www.svdp-racing.co.uk as the looks a little different to when you drove it.

Well it has been a stressful 3 days. We rebuilt the fuel cell yesterday and due to RACC being retentive in the solid waste exit location of the body they only accepted our roll cage 30 minutes before practise started today. Well the good news is that we have qualified on class pole.
It looks like it is going to be a close race.

Well the car perfectly for the last 11.5 hours with Spencer taking the car over the finishing line.
The whole team were exhausted and somehow we packed the transporter and headed back to hotel for a) shower, b) beer and pizza and c) sleep.
We all start driving / flying out of Barcelona today.

Hey! That's me!
Not so young any more but this weekend really gave me the bug, I now work for Ginetta!
I know it's a long shot but do you have any of the team pictures you posted before? The links have expired, unsurprisingly!
