Sorted a few of these out. Not yet had time to do the race report, though that is on it's way! More images will be added as I get round to it.

I really should say hello to a few of you next time.

"Javier Morcillo, who started in the Azteca Motorsport Porsche was also having a highly entertaining scrap with Steve Clark in the KG Motorsport BMW M3. From the off they were separated by less than a second, and in most laps it was only a couple of tenths, until lap 17. By this time they were going past back markers and so the gap increased to a few seconds. 10 laps further on though, and a wheel nut came loose, causing Morcillo to pull over by Camp corner, bringing out a safety car. The marshals tried to push the car further out of the way, and the front wheel them came off completely"

Unfortunately this is incorrect. The NSR drive shaft outer joint sheered which holds the rear stub axle on which in turn holds the wheel on!! a new shaft was fitted in the pits and the car completed the race :-) the end of the shaft complete with wheel nut and safety pin was delivered back to the pits!! Shafts have a life of 40 hrs of which this one had only completed 20....

An up date would be appreciated :-)

Sorry, for the inaccuracies, I'll get these changed!

I was chatting to the Marshalls over at Camp who told me what happened. I'll have to start introducing myself to you chaps and getting info straight from the horses mouth from now on!

Almost right ;-) we were actually classified although TSl don't show it as we completed more than 40% of the race as per Britcar regs. We gained 17 points for 4th in class :-)

Britcar report is wrong also...
