Lol. I'm sure your team has found a good pizza place

Alan Morgan · 2 Jul 2022, 13:30 (Ref:4117806)

Iain's asked me to let everyone know that it's all good with team Delta at the moment.

**Peter Mallett** · 2 Jul 2022, 13:42 (Ref:4117807)

Good to hear that.

Gerard C · 2 Jul 2022, 14:23 (Ref:4117810)

Very long unusual pit stop for the 356 during qualy.
Two french E Types with blown engine (Lajournade) and engine (Rivet-Fusil). The D Type goes well (de Selancy) knowing he's a newbie at LMC and has an unadapted gearing.

Brakes been playing up…struggling to work out what is causing the issue!

Gerard C · 2 Jul 2022, 18:44 (Ref:4117827)

I just noticed that you're not the fastest 356 of the batch. I guess you're using conventional brakes not the strange thing seen on Carreras. If you dont find what's wrong, who can? Wish you the best.

Gerard C · 2 Jul 2022, 18:49 (Ref:4117828)

Did you notice that the kids race saw a massive jump start? What a poor example they gave to the eldest! No licence so, spanking anyone?

Now its time for those magnificent men in their flying machines, the plateau 1 gladiators. Go Talbots!

I've been entertaining so unable to get to my laptop. I have a pic of the team working on your car so will post soonest.

E.B · 2 Jul 2022, 22:47 (Ref:4117847)

Great 1-2 for the Talbots in race 1.... and a commentator mention for JR of this parish for his part of it.
Well done John.

Gerard C · 3 Jul 2022, 05:18 (Ref:4117859)

First in class of the second race for the 356 team, things improving. its either they fixed the brakes or they removed the whole system to br faster!

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Jul 2022, 05:27 (Ref:4117860)

Any news on Dr Bob and Iain?

GCCheddaris · 3 Jul 2022, 05:59 (Ref:4117861)

According to Alkamel results, so far so good. Forty first in their first race and thirtieth in the second beating several sports racers.

GCCheddaris · 3 Jul 2022, 06:04 (Ref:4117862)

Coverage of the racing is about to restart on you tube. Dr Bob and Iain are last on, starting about 14.17 GMT this afternoon.

Just got this sms from Iain. "All good P 30 and P 2 in class. Also P2 overall on handycap. Don't have a clue how that works. Sorry I can't post direct. No sleep for two days but what a dream ?"

justracing · 3 Jul 2022, 06:34 (Ref:4117865)

What an epic adventure for Dr Bob and Delta, c'est magnifique!

Would be the Le Mans Index of Performance ? Ignore what I said about the timetable, race start times don't seem to be following the timetable printed on the Alkamel website.

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Jul 2022, 11:08 (Ref:4117905)

As promised here are a couple of photos sent by Iain, the first is Iain with an old firefigher buddy and the second is the brake repairs to the 356:

I was right in the first place. Good luck to Dr Bob and Iain !

GCCheddaris · 3 Jul 2022, 13:20 (Ref:4117920)

...and the Stephens family as well.

GCCheddaris · 3 Jul 2022, 13:47 (Ref:4117922)

Shame about the Breadvan.

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Jul 2022, 14:12 (Ref:4117925)

What happened?

Gerard C · 3 Jul 2022, 15:12 (Ref:4117944)

Badly damaged at the exit of the first chicane, front and rear are not good looking.
Shame for the Talbot boys, two wins and one fourth place give 29 th overall? There's something wrong I guess.

Gerard C · 3 Jul 2022, 15:18 (Ref:4117948)

In the straight the 356 was faster (c 220 kph) than many others including SWB Ferraris!
