I'm so glad I'm not breaking my Spa 6 Hour duck this weekend having seen the forecast!

Well good thing with the Galaxie and rain is you can put it in top gear and do the whole lap. Well might have to drop a cog for bus stop .

Red paddock next to the bogs. Should have plenty of space. Bumped into Delta just before he set off for his bike ride. Great to see him the event has officially started.

It officially started lunchtime for us when the engine for the SLR arrived. This was the scene later on in the afternoon. Replacement now in, but required sump and oil pickup swap, plus a few other external bits! Gary and Brett now fortified by takeaway pizzas.....

We will be in Garage 23 down in the old pits with the Gilbern and the E-Type. Fingers crossed for localised heavy rain on Saturday evening, for maybe five and a half hours (as that seems to be normal length of this race!)

Live Timing for the event.

No Bentley so a bit less down I didn't go.

Seeing the Maserati MC12 GT1 go up Eau Rouge with the Webcam they have is great.

Very nice . 917s,512s and 905s one week,the next M8F, and Lolas ��.

Shame the M8F thats raced with HSCC this year hasn't made the trip.

Hopefully those cars can come over to race in the UK next year as they are part of the HSCC race.

Yeah I knew it was in Europe, and mentioned about it at the time when Carey McMahon (owner now) ran at Brands for the HSCC Dunlop Saloon Car Cup and also at Oulton in the AMOC Intermarque Championship and the Silverstone Classic.
https://tentenths.com/forum/showpost...postcount=4189

It is the Frank Gardner/Jim Stone-built car driven by Tony Longhurst and Alan Jones at Bathurst 1990, setting a qualifying record , clocking IIRC 180mph on the straight (a first at the time)before having probs in the race.
It was I believe the only one built entirely at home in Australia.

He has in recent years run it here in Heritage Touring Cars events.... I think Longhurst joined McMahon in the car a couple of years ago in a Pro-Am HTC event.

Have fun mate. Must admit I'm not envious of going out last in night .

Weather has looked pretty good on webcam. Looks like it should be dry.

A shower earlier caused panic just as the Touring Cars we’re going out for their race. The winner changed from slicks to wets and back to slicks. Obviously paid!

Top 2 Daytonas 5 seconds clear. Certainly the car if you want to win anyway.

Will be interesting when Wolfe goes against the car his team prepares.
