Yep - that wasn't clever. To be fair the car needed a reshell before they dropped it.

I don't think the tow rope snapped - I think it was the towing straps on the cars that let go, when they re-attached they had to attach to the chassis. I don't think that can be blamed on the recovery guys. There were certainly some broken up bits on the loose but as you say Ollies punctures were due to clattering the kerbs too hard.

Agreed about 'the Polish lad' very impressive and it was good to see some close racing within the mixed s1600,hot hatch, MINI classes.

He certainly didn't hold back did he!

Well I had a bit of a nose about it but I can't provide any more information I'm afraid. It's some way off being ready but looks like it'll be good fun when it's done.
