Shelsey Walsh.

I think it was Midland Speed rather than TVRCC.

It was yellow.

Dave - would you be going to Loton this w/end by any chance? If so, we are neighbours in the paddock. Looking forward to seeing/hearing the Sagaris

I am entered at Loton but at this stage not sure if I will be there. The Cerbera was quicker than me due to problems with the traction control, me and now the clutch.

Also this was my first event, in a 4 week old car costing £59k so I did go carefully. It has the potential to be really quick, just not sure if I will push it that far.

I was from memory about 1.5 seconds behind the class winner and so very pleased with my result.

Well done, maybe see you on the hills later in the year when our T350 is run in.

Cheers

I hope you make it. It will be my first event and it would be nice to have another newbie around too! Sorry to hear you are having problems with the car - I would think your dealer ought to do everything possible to get it fixed in time?

Well done for taking such a new car up the hill; it sounded great even though you were going steady; whoever was in the Cerbera was really giving it some on the final run. There was at least one other PHer there; his presence was betrayed by his PH sticker; a rather nice slightly modified (I think) Chimaera, alongside two Griffs and a couple of other TVRs.

Congrats with the result

The car went away on a low loader yesterday after the RAC failed to fix the very difficult gear selection following the hill climb. They though the clutch had warped.....

Just had a call from Silverstone TVR, my hero's and its fixed, a quick adjustement to the clutch pedal and all is well. I now know how to correctly use the launch control so i am all set for Loton Park on Sunday.

Gary I will be there buddy,

The Cerbera may have been going some but was he only .7 of a second quicker than me and if you had seen my appauling starts the sag will be much quicker now i know what i was doing wrong and feel a bit more confident.

Excellent! I'm really looking forward to it (but could do without the rain that's forecast)
