There were plenty of marks on the grass so we knew people had been off - didn't realise how many though! We were something like 9th reserve for Goodwood a few weeks ago so we're creeping up the list - the gearbox is off to SWR tomorrow so we should know the extent of the damage fairly quickly.

Final results make it look a bit closer than it was as we got a notional but hey ho.

The Newtons are incredibly quick aren't they? That car is a well sorted bit of kit and they always drive it fast and clean (not sure I've ever known them throw it off). How did you find it out on the circuit? Having spent so much time at Brands it still feels a bit weird going flat out the wrong way down the pitlane or up Paddock Hill bend rather than down - I still think I prefer running the circuit backwards.
