A few photos of Greg's racing debut in his Elise at Silverstone last weekend.

Early morning spin due to brake failure eek


Ahead of a 2-11 in race one.


Waving at the photographer - not during the race, I hasten to add!


Braking into Priory in race two


The rest are here.

Greg,
I thought you drove brilliantly mate (even if you did cheat! laugh)

For those that don't know, Greg's car was under wieght after practice by 18kgs, even though it had been prepped by a race prep company (scandalous!! furious) and was put to the back of the grid (approx. 28 cars) after qualifying 16th. Anyway, when he went to start the race they put him in 16th place, which is where he finished after having a couple of monumentle tussles. The car finished the race 400 grams inside the limit!

The braking insident was caused by the same shoddy race-prep company...the tape they put around a brake line gave out!!! I think they should be in court for reckless endangerment!!! furious

Anyway, well done mate, I'm confident that you'll go from strength to strength now, getting faster every race.

Well done Greg - glad you survived the first one and have got the bug.

Who does your race prep?
