Sorry for the very late reply. Slight mix up there. It was a one hour race with a manditory pitstop, unfortunately while changing the wheel Reg kept his foot on the brake pedal and boiled the brake fluid. When he took off down the pit lane towards Dunlop and pressed the brake pedal, it went straight to the floor. As luck would have it for Reg but not Mervyn,his 3P Fiat was there to stop the Dolomite from heading to Naas! He rear ended the Fiat, damaged the front wing bonnet and bumper, but continued the race. The car continued to race till the RS Turbo arrived on the scene. It has layed up ever since. It is now in the hands of Ken Clarke to bring it back to its former glory.
