ahh a good demonstation why you dont stand leaning against the Armco!

Hope you had a good day tho.

Indeed. It was a heavy impact, and he managed to get going again. The number of incidents rivalled the F3 race...which took 2 restarts...meaning that the Formula Fords and Ginettas didn't get to race again.

Was that Burton or Wilcox driving? Burton's my boss, some ribbing may be in order!!

[luca brazzi]

Not sure...it was towards the end of the race...so 2nd driver I guess.

That was Phil. Adam had taken the first stint. It was a real shame though since they had both been driving a storming race and had managed to overtake Hector in the other 430. From what I gathered though, it wasn't his fault. One of the Astons nudged him off, so go easy on the guy

I did notice they've been getting closer to the pace. Considering some of the parts for the car only arrived last week and the problems they had during the races it's a great set of results.

Anyway, that bump doesn't get near the Snetterton catapult he managed in the 360 a few seasons ago, so nil points.

[Dragaan]

Closer to the pace? Yep, I'd say so!. Adam shadowed Tim Mullen all the way through his stint. It was like there was an invisible bungy cord between them but he just didn't have the pace to get past. Both cars must have been very evenly matched. It made for some very entertaining racing.

I like this shot:



nice angle of the car, nothing else distracting in shot, nice and crisp/sharp

[luca brazzi]

I've got a much better set than that. Was reviewing them last night...and will try to upload them this evening....it was a great corner to capture the cars.

Yep - where you suggested....hell of a walk though

[lord summerisle]

yip, was down there for last years Gold Cup. great final tussle in the last weekend of that meeting between a (origonal) TVR Giffith and Lotus Elan - Griff had the straight line speed, Elan, the cornering finess...

oh and the great sight of an Imp drfting round Shell on sodden track, with only the camber of the track at that point holding him on

[rooster]

great day, nice pics...wish my camera was that good! Itsa shame the panos isnt in the pack this year, might just have to change allegance to the Ascari. Shame about the weather and the midge bites.

[luca brazzi]

Sure...let me know what you want. And why this photo in particular? Surely there are better ones of the Aston?
