Well having spoken so positively about the scrutineers I guess I had it coming!
Straight after quali, they pulled in all of the 356s and went through them all. They picked up that we had adjustable rear spring plates.....no performance advantage, just makes adjusting the suspension so much easier rather than mucking around with the splines on the torsion bars...outcome quali time cancelled so starting from the back of the grid and one lap penalty. Seemed a bit harsh but rules are rules!
With 56 cars starting, it looked like the back of the grid was in nearby Prenois as the lights went green, but we managed to keep ourselves out of trouble, and with safety cars playing into our hands drag ourselves up to P28 in the final results.
Although the brake pedal was very long at the end of the race, all the fluid was still on board, which is definite progress!
After the trials and tribulations of recent events, we were well chuffed!
Then spent the evening celebrating with Mike and the SLR team...all capped off by having a Spitfire fire up its engine at dusk....now there is a noise to challenge even that of the Howmet!
