I wasn't talking about the tribute. I was talking about the news release. It should read "morale" but reads "moral".

Tea Break time.

In interesting analysis of GP pit stops since the early days of racing.

There are snippits of period film action from several iconic circuits to spice up the tale, including Spa and The Ring.

It's Scott Mansell's channel for those who like to know these things.

Crikey, I'm surprised there is any price difference between the two.

I'll have to check the local prices. Maybe we could send food parcels ...

Pre-order of course. And Contact free.

You're safe Gerard. I don't think there is an Aid agreement in force between England and France.

And in any case I would imagine that the the importing of croissants would be something that would be prohibited for any and every reason. If not prohibited then the local producers would probably intercept the shipment and burn it.

Meant to highlight the request to share the tweet and spread the word within the racing community and others.

Hopefully not another Reading Escort gone missing. (Remembering Iain's Escort suffering a similar fate)

For the first time in 80 days we had cars on the circuit today, the usual eclectic mix we get with Javelin, about 50/50 road and race.
4 Metros and 2 Clubmen were joined by an Alfa 156, another Alfa, Porsche 911, a Corsa, Hyundai, a couple of Clios, from MG we had a couple of ZR's, a Midget and a MGA. Best looking was probably a red open wheel Jaguar. Fastest was a silver silhouette, closely followed by an ex Mick Collard Escort driven by Jez Owen which was certainly the loudest.

There were a dozen roadgoing BMW's, joined by 6 Caterham's, 4 Audi's, a Peugeot Partner van (honest), a few MX5's, an unbelievably quick Renault Twingo, and a vey slow BMW Mini. A few Lotus Elites or similar, the gold Citroen that is a permanent fixture of these days and a very noisy Nissan 350ZX.

What were missing were the normal bunch of French Hot Hatches, what wasn't was the car that loses an oil pipe and spreads the contents of his sump all round the track, bringing out the red flags and the Road Sweeper.
