I was at Oulton Park today to witness Team WFR take another win in the SPEED series. I witnessed a cracking drive by both Warren Hughes and Jody Firth, at the half way stage Warren had lapped the whole field (which was quite easy as there was only 7 cars in the 3 hour race, one of which dropped out after 5 laps).
There was some mid race drama just as Jody took over the car as the heaven open and there was one hugh down pour. Just as this happen the safety car was called for to enable them to recover a car that had run out of petrol. Due to the safety car and pit stop to switch on wet tryes the car lost the lap they have gained. I had to leave before the end of the race, but I notice that Jody pulled out a minute on the second place car to take another win.
I had a quick chat with Jody at lunchtime and he said that they enjoyed there run in Portugal last weekend (however it was one the worst car's that both him and Warren had driven). He also said that the plans for next year are coming along nicely.
