Well we definitely didn't have traction control. We also didn't have proper wets. We were on super softs with some hastily added extra cuts (we do have wets - but they're about 10 years old so they're pretty much useless). The difference decent tyres make is incredible - normally we're nip and tuck with Tim Mewett (car 29 today) but he was on a decent set of wets and blew us into the weeds today (9th overall). We had fun but spent too much time looking out of the side windows to be quick! Got to the end though with only minor damage.
Not a nice day to be stood out marshalling or on the time controls so a big thank you to the marshals and all of the organisers - cracking event as always. A nod to the spectators too - hardy bunch!
