donington is a circuit which suits the 360 though so i'm not surprised that they are at the front. The gap which pole is to the jordan porsche and the TVR's is surprising though.

well done LNT

Pat Pearce drove well in the 2nd place TVR. How did Racing Rod do in the BMW?

OH BABY T400R was a beauty. Easy 2nd behind the (damn) Ferrari.

Saw most of you - but didn't introduce myself (haha).

Saw Kevin63 - thats the only person I knew (due to the sticker with his username on it at the back of the car)

Also saw CIRVY the car, but no owner. A beauty! Really stood out from the crowd!


Most of you guys all went home too early! If you'd have gone back up to the grid area and stayed for the final VW race - there was a dramatic ending, the two leading cars had a battle and got wound up with a slower old VW - the leader and the slower bloke shot around about 720 degree spin and nearly killed a photographer (hah).

What an ending..

Dave.

Exiting Redgate, somewhere around half time ...



If anyone is interested this was taken with a Pentax Optio S5i. The original has been cropped to about 25% of original size, sharpened a little using ACD Fotocanvas and saved as lower quality to give a reasonable sized web file.
