5 minutes? Some medical, that was! My last one took double that- had to wait for the young lady receptionist to print an invoice.....

No Mike it was the Goodwood regulations booklet

Cropped up on my FB feed from I think RRS, the French racewear company. Can't find it now of course...

MiniMM got his race medical done at a truck stop. Like Delta, fifty notes.

Strewth, there’s obviously a clandestine business carrying out medicals I’ve missed out on.... The penalty for having it done by a ‘consultant’ in a posh office / clinic? 50% more expensive...... From memory my local surgery charges £120!

And what on earth are you doing, Max, reading Goodwood regulations.......

Mentioning waiting times - presumably a mobile medical service could do good good business if it set up next month among the queues of trucks heading for Dover and other ports?

There’s possibly another ‘trade’ that could do well in the circumstances......

Of course I’m thinking of a mobile fancy coffee shop.

Could be quite handy to have the first discussed option alongside the second.

Reading the sports news today, just wondering if Sir Jim has a bit of loose change that could help get my Escort on track this year! Not content with paying for our America’s Cup bid (think £110m to date), now title sponsor to what was Team Sky...... (with INEOS)

No doubt all tax deductible?

Sorry can't help i'm not on FB just registered on Twitty but not posting. What I can say is they are pushing hard keeping the prices at a decent level and just now they are offering a rental on the FIA suits. OK nothing here like your DT. I know your french is good but if I can help…

Just found your Sierra pic here: https://fr-fr.facebook.com/RallyRacingSport/

We used to manufacture FIA suits so it's only out of former professional interest I follow them to keep an eye on latest trends.

Link doesn't work properly on my phone, I'll check it when I get home.

EDIT OK just got it working. Yes that's the series of pictures!

I remember you're involved in this business. Dont think I will promote a certain brand.
The pics are great it always amuses me when I see people involving so much time to make and load them specially when you consider the amount of time to load a video!

I often pop up to the test circuit in the hope of seeing some works bikes or cars being thrashed round. This is a typical day on the original circuit as the new track beside it is normally used for corporate organised track days throughout the year. However in the summer the temperature is normally in the mid to high 30s !

And you will have noticed that there was not a hint of Armco, and there were trees and bushes in near proximity to the track. Also, none of those dreadful concrete kerbs or acres of run-off area, just grass and grass covered banks which spectators could stand on.

Track day at Sillystone today. Few proper racing cars testing as well, which is why we were there. I’ve said it before, but the £££££££ value of cars used for track days nowadays is mind boggling! One outfit, some sort of ‘club’, had a McLaren Senna amongst other slightly less expensive stuff in their fleet...... But, among all the exotica, couple of Citroen C1s. Well done them.

Oh, and the road cars parked behind the garages were just as mind boggling.
