TVRfan, were you there???

The funniest bit was the CDL TVR leaving the pits for 3 laps behind the safety car during the lunch break on sunday and spinning straight onto the grass at Redgate!! Good result for them tho.

Good finish from them, and although you sorta have to feel for Rob Barff, all drivers want to win, and to lose it because of a back marker was gutting, but that was race one on the year.

Looking forward to Snett now.

i missed that too, whoops! ill be starting my work experience at snetterton, hopefully, shoulda been at donnie but Martin Short was in barca. could turn out to be a good season this. did anyone else think that the clio didnt look like it belonged. gotta feel sorry for the ultima guys tho, what a great first lap, now they have to keep it up for 75mins, god help them at spa

Looking at MST, how can I tell who was driving and when, and therefore which driver was quicker, eg. Le Bas and Cole.

Sid The Manager · 7 Apr 2003, 16:18 (Ref:561796)

you can't, even the circuit commentators rely on the teams telling them

rdjones · 7 Apr 2003, 16:28 (Ref:561820)

Just as an side. One of the Le Mans TVR's well be out in the next round........

Graham Goodwin · 7 Apr 2003, 17:00 (Ref:561857)

Actually probably both - albeit one only as a shakedown

Muppet · 7 Apr 2003, 18:53 (Ref:561965)

Piglet, it was an eventful lunchbreak...

TVR spun (I think Steve was driving) and the Ultima broke down.

Perhaps Dave was driving the Seat Safety Car too quickly for them?
;-)

peter Le Bas startedx the car and went through to around 35 minutes if I remember correctly. Ricky certainly recorded the slowest lap!!!

Cool, it just a shame I can not get there

It has to be said that Shane Lynch has will have made a bit of a name for himself with that performance. I was working Post Two (Redgate) and I was impressed at how long he kept the screws on the Moslers without doing anything rash then taking his chance with some aplomb.

kdr · 7 Apr 2003, 20:26 (Ref:562100)

what happened to the girl power car? oops...i see it in another thread. sorry

TVRfan · 8 Apr 2003, 10:08 (Ref:562596)

does anyone know why the vette was so slow on that last lap, when it went past the chicane it cut out, pretty much and was very spluttery before, sounded to me like lack of fuel? anyone elaborate, also did it lose any places?

Graham Goodwin · 8 Apr 2003, 10:18 (Ref:562603)

Yep - out of fuel, lost several places - The road car engine coupled with the racecar ecu led to something of a miscalculation

ben owen · 8 Apr 2003, 10:28 (Ref:562612)

For people who think the Clio does not belong's in the GT cup class it is a GT car that is how Renault advertise the car. We only got the car finished on Tuesday night and it will not be on the pace till Knock Hill. We looked at running a GT3 but we wanted something different. watch this space

**FIRE** · 8 Apr 2003, 11:15 (Ref:562647)

The Clio is a nice (I have a 1.2L Clio) and powerfull car and indeed it's different. But in my imagination a Clio is not a GT. But I wish you very luck in the season.

It doesn't look like that from MST's PDF booklet. Are you sure? Was Cole quick or slow in general?

Graham Goodwin · 8 Apr 2003, 13:41 (Ref:562807)

Sorry JR - just checked again it was the other way around Ricky started and Peter finished! (note to self, read what you wrote yesterday before posting!!)
