I was haring along the new pit straight in qualifying behind a Chevron B8 and one of the marker cones at the end started running across the track, back and forth, very confusing. Had ears also - what was that all about? We don't have those in Monaco.

Not surprised you don't have any of them in Monaco - have you seen the price of carrots there?

The noise your McLaren makes, Marcus, I would think the poor thing was completely disorientated! No wonder it was running back and forth. Expect a visit from the RSPCA any time.....
And since the mention of carrots, I have this vision of Aardman's Were-Rabitt sitting in the middle of the track munching one stuck in my head! |

Haven't you noticed?
Back to the event, there was a great moment at the GTSCC prize giving when their Driver of the Day award was given out. Flavien and Vanessa have an excellent habit of looking beyond on-track performance, and this time was no different. The recipient was young Oliver Phillips, who was sharing his Mother's MGB. A while back he suffered massive injuries in a road accident which put his whole future life on hold. Racing again was another box ticked on the road back to normality, and the huge cheer from the assembled throng of fellow racers as Olly collected the award was spontaneous and genuine. A great moment. Last edited by Mike Bell; 20 May 2014 at 18:01. |

Thanks for the great photos Brands!
Thats Dad in the orange McLaren M10B in the DBT race. Unfortunately the weekend didnt go too well for us ! Dad had made himself a great new seat this week which worked really well and meant i could strap him in tight and the belts and HANS then held firm whilst on track which the previous seat arrangement hadnt done too well. Unfortunately it was only on lap one of practice that he discovered the new seat meant changing gear could only be achieved with the left hand......!! With the seat modified we were hoping for a better showing in the race but a slowly lengthening brake pedal and some very unusual handling showed up to be a failing left front hub in the post race 1 checkover, so we reluctantly had to pack up and head for home earlier than planned ! Roll on the Gold Cup for some better luck ! Cheers Richard |

I noticed that there were 4 Taylors in the DBT. Is this purely a remarkable coincidence? Or just a large family outing? Or something of a mix of the two? Sorry if I seem overly inquisitive but it's something that does not happen often in any class of racing. |

Hi Grant
Apart from Dad, I think the other 3 Taylors in the race - Simon, Daryl and Ashley - are all related, . Not sure what the relations are though ! Im sure somebody on here will know more ! Cheers Richard |

It was an absolute joy to be out marshalling for you folks at Stowe on Saturday. Only sorry I couldn't make Sunday as well.

Has Swetey ever won a pot previously in anything?
No wonder he was surprised! |

I was vaguely aware that 2 were family but not the 3. Not always easy to follow the live timing when so many of the drivers have the same name and must be tricky for the commentators to be certain to be unambiguous at times. Could be a new angle for Goodwood. Biggest field of <family name> ever assembled. That sort of thing .... |
