Not sure if I've missed it in this thread but what happened to Simon's Reliant? I see that it practiced.

Short answer is that our engine developed a malady in first free practice on Thursday which shook the gearbox to bits (we actually fixed that!) along ultimately with engine failure.
We banked 3 laps each to qualify hoping we might be able to rectify it before the race but it was a losing battle and when Alex came back from qualifying behind the tow truck we bite the bullet and went home to regroup for next year! The engine and gearbox rebuilds are booked in and start next week.

Sorry to hear that. It's not much fun to go so far for so little running. I know from experience!
