Donington today, what spec on original Griff?
Discussion
Hi,
Was up at Donington today at the historic motor racing, there was a lovely Griff lapping at fair rate today in the qualifying session, I beleive it ended up 4th on grid. Anyone able to tell me a little more of the vehicle spec, really curious to find out as it was pitched against some diverse cars from Yank stuff to Lotus Elan's and although it didn't look that quick in relative terms, it clearly must have been to stack up 4th.
Here's a pic, not brill I know
Also, if anyone is there tomorrow any chance you could post the race results.
Thanks,
Chris
