I guess it won't make the story of your life EB… Just to make sure, try a free VPN and change dramatically your location. Or just drop dead!
Seeing the sponsor is supposed to be swedish, may be this has to do with politics… |

Good overnight flight . I had a row of seats all to myself so was able to get some sleep. Been up to the track and the cars have all traveled well .Tomorrow we can have 30 min practise so I will get my eye in and make sure everything is running ok with the Lotus .Will send over any interesting photos but for now some supper and sleep . Nice temperature here .

Ha ben voil*, tu es * l'autre bout du monde et il y aura toujours un Anglais pour te donner une adresse de mauvaise bouffe!
May I suggest Valhalla Crossing restaurant, Alex's bar or Sergio's instead, sir? From top secret info, Sergio makes the best pizzas in town… |

Wtf are you lot talking about . Had nice run out today . Did few laps and came in for cup of tea .Spent all afternoon changing gears , Jets and prepping car it’s very high up here and no air. Up at 5 am tomorrow that’s 3 am your time . We are on track again at 7 am . One of the cars that came out is not running well so I’m going out in that car to see what’s wrong . Not a Delta run car BTW. Feel for owner such a nice bloke and he was looking forward so much to this trip. Will send over photos to Mike to post . Still very hot but we did have the most amazing thunder storm just now . Best wishes Iain

Interesting looking on the entry there is 3 Porsche 917s. I imagine they are replicas or whatever a non original car is called, its all way to confusing. Interesting to see what they look like livery and all .

Started P9 had awful start . Dropped about 6 places . Started picking the FFords off one by one then there was a red flag . They don’t go into pits here so we went back out on to grid .Switched off then all the cars I passed came past me and lined up in front of me . Right shambles but hey ho .Off we go again and I have never had so much fun for 7 laps . Passing passing cars galore . Last blooming lap drove shaft broke . Hey ho all fixed . Marcus was 4th so brilliant effort from him .2 nd race in an hour . Still blooming hot . Might of been jinxed as the TV people put a camera on the car . Not sure where you go to see it but should make great viewing .

Broken driveshaft put me out of first race . Lucky I had plenty of spares . Job that took the time was changing the UJ . Always have trouble with them . Just when you think you have the cup home find a roller has dropped behind the cup . Then found the shaft had bashed the damper and bent the shaft so had to borrow another shock absorber . Anyway after couple of hours and I even had time to have some free food . Lotus all back together but I have to start P24 . There I am in collecting area and a very nice marshal says “hey Iain we can’t have starting back there line up in box 15”. Well thakyou very much .Fluffed start again and dropped few places then another great run and finished P10. Final results show me P2 in class so happy days . Photos on the way via Magic Mike .Early night now then off to Cape Town tomorrow then to Killarney Raceway .
