I was trying to find info about this event myself so did a search and found this:

Might also be worth mentioning that this 2 day event is also included in the DPRAC free concessions days for any members looking.

I was thinking of going, but Donington is a bit of a trek for me and its not the best place for photos if you're stuck behind the fences so I probably won't bother. I will be doing the PS1 Meeting at Brands in a couple of weeks though.

Does anyone know the History of Peter Cook's GT2? Seen it race a few times now and it does look the mutt's nuts.

[Simon Leith]

Any pics from the weekend of our car? Blue BMW M3 number 56? What a great weekend! Pole position and 2nd in the race means we still have a chance of the championship! Fingers crossed for Brands..we need a good result!!!

Patience! See, yesterday was rather warm and sunny for once so spending the day in front on the computer was not a very attractive proposition - pics will be uploaded at some point tomorrow.

[Simon Leith]

OOoohhhhh get you!! Hope you enjoyed the sun!

Simon, sorry getting your name wrong in the report. It's now been corrected.

As Izzy said, yesterday wasn't the day to be sitting in front of a computer.

I did indeed

I did try to work on the laptop, but it was way too bright to be able to see the screen properly (great excuse!)

Bloody Hot in our car on Saturday, god knows what the temperature inside the car got up to, Unfortunately, on the driver change, the driver water supply system got disconnected so I only had what was in the tube, a couple of egg cups full at best, after 35/45 mins I was dehydrating badly, missed a gear change, blew the clutch which in turn on the 996, signals via the ecu, a gradual power loss (saves the gearbox and/or engine) to the point that anything past 4500 rpm was just not possible. I carried on as best I could for a while but with little or no power when needed all I could do is coast around until we had completed enough laps to obtain our points for the race, once we had that sorted , much to my relief, I came in and parked it, almost fell out of the car and spent the next 15 mins with my head in a basin of water, Jesus, I was knackered !!!! Good fun though Made a note to fit air/con, sod the extra weight !!!

[Simon Leith]

Yes...I did 1 hour 15 minutes with no liquid an felt pretty much the same when I got out of the car!

Just got the championship points theought from Claire....looks like we are the only car with a chance of beating Clynes/Beaumont....what an exciting end to a great season. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Would it be possible to have a copy of the standings? I've not seen them for a couple of months. PS1 too if its on there.
