Watched it myself, however, I could be wrong about this,but I'm sure that there were 16/17 cars in those races, I mean, I was there myself on row 5 in the first race and row 6 in the second, prehaps it was all a dream!!!!!!!!! because I ONLY SAW THE FIRST FOUR CARS IN THE WHOLE BLOODY HALF HOUR PROGRAM!!!!! I knew I should have let Richard Hay through at Oulton Park, instead of holding him off for 4 laps, he's getting his own back on us now. What say you fellow unknown Tuscan drivers, tricky explaining to the sponsors is it not!!!!!!!

Oh I don't know Uncle Rodney, I was quite happy with the footage of No 6 passing No's 5 and No 20, and subsequent footage/commentary about No's 5 and 6 having 'a good battle'

It was perhaps a little unfortunate that No29 did not feature in those comments as I recall you were ahead of said battle. Perhaps if you reprayed your car? Blue looks rather fetching on the box, whilst black is so last year

When I bought my car many years ago, well 1999 but put that to one side for a moment, Henry(TVR)Reedy said "you can have any colour you like as long as it's black". I begged him to paint it blue, time and time again, but he refused saying "one day you'll thank me for this". Somewhat mystified by this remark I asked him to explain. "Well" he said, "It's the tealeaf's or tealeaves," (he knows about these things,) " there will be a time in the not to distant future, when a muiltitude of blue cars will appear, driven by prats and muppet's and I wouldn't want to see you associated with that lot" Well bugger me, how good is that, he got it spot on!!!!!!!

It's generally on 2 weeks after the race. The races are shown on both Wednesday and Thursday on Sky SPort 2 and 3.

You can look the Sky website ans see the what's on - this runs one week into the future. I look each Monday to see what's on in terms of motorsport inc. the Tuscans.

Will try to post the times on this forum in future.

I am sorry, just realised! I have lost track of time! If you are at Combe; I am sure Ben will have the tape on in the TVR Bus.
