Slightly calmer down at Wiscombe, but I did at least manage a new PB...just knocking 0.01 off the previous. Very unexpected though, didn't think the tyres still had that kind of time in them.

Thanks. Sadly the car is off the road at the minute as Dad had a crash at Werrington back in May and damage was well beyond our capabilities. Planning on taking the car to someone that knows Legends inside out but most have been busy with the circuit champ. We're hoping to have it back out before the end of the season though




On the bright side it means I've had more free weekends and will be up at Wiscombe as a spectator tomorrow for the BHC round. Really looking forward to seeing them a full tilt in the dry and being able to view a bit more of the hill than normal.

Great weekend at Wiscombe, the hill record was broken 3 times I think in the two run offs, Alex Summers is the new record holder with a 32.94. I find that mind boggling, I've always thought that anything below about 44 seconds is a pretty decent time, sub-40 is bloody quick and sub-38 is awesome....so a 32 just fries my brain.

The top cars and drivers now are so impressive, the acceleration is just crazy. Would love to see some telemetry to give an idea of speed, someone suggested a few years ago that the quick guys are around 130mph over Bunnies Leap, but Alex's car looked quicker than anything I've seen there before.

We've seen over 150mph over the finish line at Gurston....phenomenal speed.
