Donington races
There were the best touring car races I have ever seen
John B&Qs spin at the old hairpin was pretty good Did anyone see Richard Meins crash at the old hairpin. |

terrible race for paul o'neill - hope the beer made that one better
er, it was raaather good, despite nearly all of our drivers retiring from the second race... john did a valiant job with no oil pressure, and rapidly diminishing fuel pressure towards the end of the feature race (hope i got that right), despite putting a big ol' dent in the teammates door wo-hoo! bring the next races on!!! we're ready for it |

Yeah, unlucky Paul - hear there was some pink paint left on your car after your off... hmmm... wonder who could have been involved there ?
And bad luck too to the B&Q cars... but rest assured chaps, we won you a load of new fans again today...! hehe! |

Two great races indeed . What does Gavin have to do?!?!? He was driving a superb race and the blimmin' engine gave up... Terrible luck for Paul O'Neill too, but a great drive by his team-mate Annie and of course John B&Q recorded his best finish of the season! WELL DONE!!!

Gavin Pyper should be in the BTCT next year with GA-Janspeed. However, i have noticed the cars with the biggest engine problems are both Alfas-JSM in BTCT and GA-Janspeed in BTCP. A coincidence? I hope so! And also the BTCP battle is really hotting up-the pendulum swings a the other way every meeting!

I was standing at the old hairpin ... John's spin was good and nearly gave me a heart attack (.... please John not near me!) but well done for the points. Poor Meins, although he handled the car very well and the crash could have been alot worse. What happened to Paul?????? I'm sure I didn't wish you good luck at any point. Just put it behind you and look forward to Knockhill. |
