Great shots chaps. As you may guess, we were also blessed with great weather.

Bentley Specials have been part of the BDC for so long that I would like to think they're considered 'normal' rather than special! I'm with you, think they're great.....

Belmondo should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Lovely grids in your two races John. We saw a few hairy moments in FISCAR qualifying round at Becketts when the Alpine dropped oil. One of the white Elites had a big spin and several others nearly followed. Nice meeting generally I thought.

Many thanks. Yes, Alpine came back on a trailer minus most of its oil but was sorted for the race. Haven't yet discovered cause.

Apparently the pipe to the oil pressure gauge fractured - hence easy fix.....

It did make for a few interesting entry lines to Becketts during practice.

Great selection of photos all. Only done time-keeping at this event - maybe next year to spectate / photo - tends to clash with HSCC Croft unfortunately.

Finally finished the Bic Healey race report. Probably too much text, but loads of photos, too. For those interested, it is here:-
