Silverstone Classic TV coverage

[Teddington Ted]

I'm not sure if what I watched last night was a repeat, if so apologies for being late to comment, but did any of you see the Silverstone Classic TV coverage ? The most interesting bit for me was seeing how badly some of the owners of lovely kit drive their cars. One person in particular was appalling.

Isn't that just the nature of club motorsport? Some drivers are more skillful or experienced than others and only a tiny few could have made reasonable careers as paid drivers. Most of us (me included) are too inconsistent from day to day!

I know you shouldn't name names but give us a clue. Which race?

I thought the coverage was good but the commentary a bit stilted.

Well it was not me!! as I did not get to race.. Miss Goodman came over too me at Goodwood a few years back to do an interview,well that was what I thought but apparantly I was in the way of the back drop..
Anyway yes give us a clue and l also thought the programme was good with our Simon and Jason having good drives and coming across well on the tely.

I am sure Ted is referring to a certain Brazilian who drove a Porsche 917 amongst other cars, 'Carlos the Cakhanded' perhaps?

Just an observation you understand.

You may be right but it was the Supertourers that made the news, due to a winning driver being excluded post race over driving standards....

You may think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

Did you mean 'diving' standards, Mike?
