With seven entered you guy's have taken up a third of the grid which is good news without you we'd be back to the poor grids we had to endure at the start of the year,its certainly made things a lot more interesting!

I know its a long way off but has there been any plans set out for next year?it will be a shame to lose the tuscans from the combe gt but a stand along championship would be great once again but not part of any package as i get the feeling the costs would rise again that could be bad news from the start.

With a bit of luck they'll all be in the top half too.

We will be getting there sometime Sunday late
afternoon/early evening. I expect Tim Hood will be there then too. Not sure about Andy, Bob, Darren & the others.

We heard this evening that Tim, Steve & Dave were testing there today.

Will be interesting to see how competetive Nigel Mustell's V8 star machine is against a few tuscan's he was pretty quick,but got a feel that glen did beat him in his tuscan?

Will have to come down to the paddock and put faces to the cars workout nicknames!

They kept that quiet!! I was driving down the M4 towards Swindon this evening when I saw Dave towing the car in the other direction.

Anyway... I will be there on Sunday. Must pop a few beers in the fridge in the truck...

I have just seen 5 Ferraris drive round on their own! Why don't you Tuscan drivers join them and make a real race! There are more of you TVR guys!

Why are the Ferraris allowed to race on their own?

You must be refering to the Ferrari Challenge races! I agree these "less than 10 car" grids are a joke and bad for the sport. The 30 car GT race should of become a 35 car grid and the chance of a second race!

Well done Tim and Darren!

Just had a look at Avon Leisure's website! Cheap ATV's! Made in China? Are they any good? The website is not exactly a professional one!

Is it the brakes glowing red hot before Quarry?

Well, on the grounds that I can see the brake discs and they aren't red hot, probably not.
