Yes . Odd that it was languishing down in 32nd place so hope its alright.Remember I think in 2015 they had a 512 M, 512s and a 312p all racing in one race along with an Alfa 33 aswell. WOW Very envious now Mike, all these lovely cars your seeing (and racing) . 2 917s on track. What a job Peter Auto does in that regard. Be interesting how many feature at Le Mans Classic next year along with 512. Should hold a banner trying to convince them to come over to Brands etc for a historic meet. I do prefer the 512m over the S. Do like the Penske liveried one featured in the Petrolicous vid. Looking forward to watching on timing the battle between the 333sp and Speed 8. Was looking at the Setup for XJR 14. Looked incredible.Quality Grp C grid- XJR8,9,14,Peugoet 905, 2×R90CK and a C11. Just no words. Seems in a way that 60s enduro is the last domain for the normal Cobra 289 now with so many Daytonas popping. Think I've seen 2 more on entry lists for Spa.

During FP I was standing next to a driver of mature years on the pitwall, and his comment as the 917s went past side by side was- ‘I’d pay good money to watch this!’
Think the 512 was suffering mechanical gremlins in Q. Was in and out of pits a lot. Form memory we’ve only seen the 312P once or twice in the last few years but it is stunning. Seems to have the lowest roofline of any part from the Ford F3L, which sadly isn’t racing now, but was my favourite of all..... Gutted if I don’t get to race. Only driven here once, 6 years ago in the same car, and my second Q lap yesterday was over a second faster than the fastest then. There was easily two more to come off that time, and I reckon could have taken the fight to the other SLR. But sometimes, things just don’t go your way.... Unless a miracle happens this morning possibilities of whether the car can be fixed for Spa being discussed. Maybe we can get a spare engine out from the UK and fit at the circuit.... Cobras- My take is that anyone building a new one now builds a Daytona Coupe, and there are several Brits that have done so. Most PA Cobras are older cars that have been around a while, so unless the owners want a new car, they stick to the normal version.... There is also the 7 litre ‘Factory Demonstrator’ Shelby Cobra in CER1, which originally ran in 60s Endurance before someone pointed out that it wasn’t actually eligible....

Just mentioned another favourite of mine. The Ford F3l and the 908 Langheck were at Spa in 2016. The 312 P was at Le Mans and Monza classics. Sounds even better than a 512. Can't believe how low they look. Is that the 427 version. Take my hat of to the driver racing that. Talk about power: |

Interesting that Goodwood are now uploading lots of vids from Peter Auto this year.
3:42. Lovely shot of the Morgan Mike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSjW3e-4Z2Y Onboard from the pole Cobra. Talk about traffic . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUGnlFnnxF4&t=136s Last edited by Willmaz223; 21 Sep 2019 at 10:36. |

Unlucky Mike about not getting car out. Hope it can be out for Spa.
Seems like myself posting how well the Morgans did has been a curse as the other SLR has stopped if timing is to be correct. Last edited by Willmaz223; 21 Sep 2019 at 15:48. |

Yeah sorry Mike to hear of your bad luck. Echo what Will said above in hope you can get it sorted in time for Spa.

Some exquisite cars in the videos, but what really got me was the gorgeous sounds.

They say Monza is hard on cars, and I think this evening’s race proved it! The shiny SLR looks like water pump failure and resultant coolant loss, then overheated engine before John realised. Shame as all the championship rivals failed as well, so a good result would have been useful! As is, points table will likely be little changed.... |

Damp this morning, and CER2 teams had a dilemma- slicks or wets? The TOJ started on slicks and struggled for a while, but then as the track dried they became the tyre of choice....
The BBLM came in and swapped in the pit lane. That car is huge, it hardly fits the tents! |

917 already in the lead (the gulf one)
512s running well in 7th. Must be a brilliant site seeing them all at the front . Not sure how conditions are. |

So 8th o/a and Class 2nd for the B19! After disappointments of last two days, a good boost for everyone. The track was dry, BTW. As observed here, Monza is T70 City, so not surprising to see them filling all 3 podium places. The Gulf 917 was leading, but stopped on track for some reason, then continued. The 512 had a pit stop for something as well. The Howmet stopped on track very soon after the start.

Pity you can’t see the two rev counters (compressor and power turbines) in the Howmet clearly in the on-board. The gauges go to 50k rpm on the first scale, then from 50k to 100k on the second revolution of the needles! Fascinating to watch. Drive is controlled by a wastegate between the two turbines- no mechanical connection, and no gearbox- except for reduction gearing, obviously!
Last couple of pics. Nice Supra and a box of touring cars.... |

Goodwood ‘5 coolest cars at Monza’ includes the SLR, but includes a pic of the GREEN one! What a load of ***** they are...... At least they couldn’t get the Howmet pic wrong. |

The different is quite staggering really. They had one silenced and unsilenced at the Oldtimer GP and it was quite surreal plus frustrating hearing them both and the difference. |
