Mugello Classic 2023 by Peter Auto

I’ve had better days racing . Robert was driving well and we are both getting to grips with the Marcos . Last corner last lap he got hit . The cars in a bad way . Robert is fine and the other two cars are under investigation . Sad way to end what was lovely weekend . Great to see Bill , Will and Anita along with many other tenthers . You know my motto .”what man made man can repair .?

Think Peter Auto has now moved away from the FIA .

[Gerard C]

Thanks Iain. A good move imo, just hope the FIA will follow Peter Auto's decisions now…
Sorry for the Marcos, one of the unwritten rules of PA is "if you broke it, you own it" he who hit the Marcos is supposed to pay at least half of the repair bill.
Glad you had a good weekend (before the end) and glad the good Dr is well. Donny for you both now?

[Alan Morgan]

All smiles here...

Nice race suits, kudos!

Maximum recorded speed for the 1800 GT, almost 210 kph, it aint slow. Circa 190 for Will, he must push harder in the straights! Hé, hé, hé.

I was pedalling as fast as I could…..maybe we need to add another rubber band?!

No kidding! May be better to check under the gaz pedal if a spanner is stuck!

So I was coming into the last corner on the last lap. I saw 2 cars coming quickly and got out of the way taking a very wide line to let them through. I heard screeching of tyres and the sound of a car spinning. Next I felt a thud in the left rear which pushed me into a 360 spin. The second of the cars coming through also spun. At least one was a Cobra.They got going. I didn’t.
On a happy note I really enjoyed Mugello circuit. I rate it highly up there with my best tracks.
IMHO the best is Le Mans then Bathurst followed by Pau ( for sheer enjoyment) Then I would say Mugello.

Sorry to hear about the damage and DNF putting a downer on what sounds like an otherwise good weekend. Hope the damage isn't too severe. Glad you liked the track. Safe journey home all.
(*Im off to watch some Mugello onboard laps!)

Hairy on-board video taken from a 911 SWB. Happy tailer!

Dr Bob, don't know if you are aware of the significance of a P45 in the UK? It usually means that you have been given the sack by an employer, a P45 being the Income Tax document one receives at the end of an employment that shows the individuals tax code plus other bits.

Having been given the "boot or is it elbow" by another competitor, it was an unfortunate placing to finish!

[Gerard C]

Dont forget the P45 Nokota…
