Great stuff tonight, most enjoyable... I hadn't seen the Saturday races as I went on the Monday..
how long does the day last as i would like to take my 2 year old with me to Oulton??It'll be a full day of racing and in the Elise Trophy we'll have one 20-min qualifying session and two 20min races.
Keep an eye on the Oulton Park page on our site, where the timetable (and ticket details etc.) will be published as soon as available.
Cheers,
Andrew.

Good stuff to watch.
If anyone is interested the torrent is available on motorworld.net. (you need to join up). I will continue to seed this.

Just watched it after Sky Plussing it and have a couple of questions (probably daft and naive)
1) In the first race only one car had headlights on, is this allowed or did the others simply not want theirs on?
2) In the second race someone called Walsh had to end his race early, is this the famous Walshy from North Weald?
3) In the interview after the first race the winner of the race said he was bored half way around, was he taking the pi$$ being cocky or actually being serious?
4) Half the cars had number plates on, half didnt. Is there any sort of ruling on this or is simply the ones without trying to avoid insurance companies photographing them?
5) Probably the daftest question of the lot, does the driver have to actually own the car or can he race it on behalf of someone else. The reason i ask is that there was a Gran Prix racer in there and surely this is like a Premiership Footballer playing pub footy (no offence intended but best analogy i could think of)?
6) just thought of another. "a little more toe and heel needed" heard the phrase but eh???

1) Since we have 170 bhp and 300 bhp class cars racing, the front running high power cars usually run with lights on to give slower cars ahead a reminder that someone much faster is inbound to lap them. Switching headlights on is also good to distract the guy in front.
2) Yes Andrew Walsh has suffered some reliability issues with his Class C car.
3) Dont know
4) Some cars are actual road legal cars that are driven to and from races and others are not road legal. I drive my racecar to and from races. Insurance isn't a concern since road policies don't cover racing (although some may cover non cometative track days).
5) The searies does not allow hire or arrive and drives, a driver should own their own vehicle, although we regularly have professional drivers take part by invitation to add somke spice and allow us club races to measure our ability.

6) "Heel and toe" is a technique for matching the engine revs when braking and changing gear at the same time. Makes for smoother gearchanges and helps keep the car settled.
Plenty of info on the web - e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel-and-toe
