Very much so.
My mate had a bit of brain fade with five mins to go which cost the win. Explained to him he was not supposed to spin when in lead but not in those words
Idea is to have both Talbot and Alta at Silverstone Classic . Seems it’s the big deal Saturday evening race.
Can’t see point in letting the VSCC specials in race as grids are not bad.
The MRL races Donington,Spa and Silverstone are the major Pre War Sports Car races are the major ones of the season now the Patrick Peter idea of an Estoril plan seems to have vanished.

Definitely a good result if he had a spin.....

Look forward to seeing the car out at The Classic and Spa!

And 2 cars off on the first lap at McCleans was not an auspicious start although apparently someone had a suspension failure that resulted in the problems observed.

But overall things seemed to run well and almost on time most of the day(s) so what incidents there were cannot have been disruptively bad.
Hi, it was me in the Cheetah that hit the aftermath of a Mustang/Alfa collision in front of me exiting McLeans. I managed to flick the Cheetah sideways and hit the two cars hard, breaking 2 of my ribs in the process. The Cheetah came off pretty well, some bodywork, exhaust header, fuel tank and rear suspension. Could have been a lot worse.
