Yes, correct a very impressive run

Graham Goodwin · 26 May 2003, 13:53 (Ref:610456)

It was the gear linkage - all of it!

Rob was left with just a hole in the transmission tunnel - relly excellent result - But a better one still for Eclipse - finally they get the break they deserve!

You must have been standing almost in front of me when you took the last of those pics!!

I saw someone with DSC fleece on, I had the MG fleece and cap on.

Graham Goodwin · 26 May 2003, 20:51 (Ref:610826)

Yup, that was me - I was up in the commentary box for the race but in the grandstand beforehand

rdjones · 26 May 2003, 21:04 (Ref:610833)

Are, yes think I saw u there then aswell - I had been watching the Formula Boring (sorry 3) from the grandstand.

Does anyone konow how TVR are getting on with building enough cars to enable them to change the restrictor at LeMans back to the one they used at Sebring?
