I watched the second half of Touring Cars form the pitwall. Sadly the Pinepac Mustang blew its engine during free testing, and the Wooding Escort threw a cam belt in Q. There was a Capri non starter as well.
The Boissy Escort obviously had an early problem costing many laps, but was matching the leaders times in the latter half. It did start to sound a bit sick at the end though. The winning Capri was far enough ahead to be able to cruise the last couple of laps, while Ben Gill closed in on Sean Brown until the latter matched him for the last few laps. The GpA brick (Volvo) came 4th. Lot of fast cars missing for this meeting. No Steve Dance 2600RS or Cologne Capris, and no Rovers! I think Steve is building a 'full spec' GA engined car at the moment, so that may explain his absence. All the fast CSLs seem to have vanished from the series- at one time they were the car to have, so no idea why now out of favour......
