the Top Gear car is sponsored by 'Peniston Oils'. Lets see if you can guess where its split at the door line on the side of the car.

PENISton oils on the left side of the car, LARSEONS BISCUITS on the right

Not too cold we've shut the back on the pit perch ( I believe its also called other things )

and now got some hot soup..


Im sure i can see a couple of hardy souls in the grandstand


we've now got will in the car.

[Graham]

OOOH its a bit foggy. S/Car is now out due to weather.. Possibly looking at a parc ferme situation until it clears

[Graham]

TOP Gear still running after some lenghty stops.

Easier to spot the numbers as they go past now <LOL> one advantage of the safety car.



OH yes and we are running out of 4 letter words to describe the fog on our fancy pit board


currenty flashing the words


THCK

FOG



The next one might be


GONE
TO
PUB
CHRS

[Graham]

We've Currently Got Miles Hulford running in the Civic, behind the Safety Car.

Up until then he was going Very well and actually posted the overall fastest lap for the car in whilst running in the Dark.

Unfortunetly For Paul Hes been out for his stint and so far done 6 laps behind the safety car in the fog.

The word has come down that the Race is now going to Parc Ferme on this lap.

THe cars will be parked up and the clock Suspended for the driver times.


We all have to restart with the same driver and nobody can work on the cars.

Is the fog worse than last year then? It doesn't look too bad from my hotel window! Any idea if the 68 Civic is still running, it seems a long way behind?
