Jenks is taking his TVR 350i (plus another 50i and lots of very shiny racing bits that went in to it, I saw them on your workbench!) I'm taking the old E-Type with new pipes to help her breath a little better, wider tyres, upgraded brakes and anti-roll bars since the last Brands outing, so we're both out with some new formats. Good old girls even at 36/17 years they want to keep up with the Stuttgart boys. Both sound like a Spitfire now too!

Have a great day John. My Ginetta is somewhat shorter than it used to be, thanks to the weekends racing at Combe, so I won't see you there .

Home that the tweaks perform as expected.

Rich,

Sorry to hear about the shortening, front or back and any ideas when you'll be back out again? It wasn't the same corner that you and Jenks had an interesting experience at?

There is only one place at Combe to have a really serious accident. I think that I shall leave that one off my list of places to attempt slightly marginal passes from now on.

Car should be back together in a couple of weeks (very bent chassis), but the good news is that it was going really well (we were a couple of seconds quicker than when we saw you guys at the circuit), so we are moving in the right direction.

Nice to know that you are moving in the right direction with the Ginetta Daydreamer, sorry to hear that it is now a compact version !!!!
Hope it goes back together soon, look forward to seeing it out again soon.

....the lowest form of wit!

I'm looking forward to seeing your lowered beastie with rear wheels on the FRONT!

I'll let you through, but it will of course be the mods that make the difference

Lots of GT3's going, possiably 1 of the sessions just for us, I hope not its a bit boring better to mix it up in my opinion, still I would be happy not to see those pesky Radicals!

I have just driven past the circuit, it is seriously windy which has dried the roads out and currently not a cloud in the sky...best of luck for the morning.

Are you kidding ??????????
It was superb, the weather held up, organisation spot on and the track was great. First time on the GP circuit but not to be the last, We loved it. Oh yes, away in time for a few in the local and home for the footy, Come on England!!!!!!!
May be that the engine I just built and fitted was good helped a little as well
Bring on the next day like that
