26th March. Testing at Snetterton CSCC

Was any one there with a Camera? It was very wet so maybe not, It did dry out later though. A good day was had so I thought I would post this vid just to show how slowly a v8 griff can be driven…More seat time needed.

Well done on that wet track, but do be mindfull of crossing those pit lane lines too prematurely. I was marshalling up there a couple of weeks ago and the pit lane and post marshals were reporting over the radio to race control many misdemeanours. A few penalties methinks.

Hi. Yep I did stray across a little early. In fairness though, start of session and no cars on track. Would never do that otherwise..First time at Snet. the pit lane exit and proximity to corner does seem to draw you to the line.. One to take care with next time. Good advice they are probably hot on policing it so I am probably not the only one with a bad habit to curb.

Have just come back from another two glorious days of marshalling( I do it between my racing to keep me on the ball) at CSCCs Snetterton meeting.

The crossing of the pit lane solid line was a Major call over both days from Post 1 (pit lane) with one or two potentially dangerous incidents from fast cars coming along the pit straight.

Beware one and all, for fear of penalties at any circuit.

Was that the light blue one that he was out in for the first time?

Looked great, as did many other TVRs. To be honest, everyone looked good with a fantastic grid of forty five cars.

No that was Jelli's drag racer. Lovely car built by his dad. 351cu, big brakes, every conceivable modern go faster bit......but the MSD ignition played up so no race

351 - I don't think so!

Only think Modern is better front brakes.

Its out for a test 20 min race on 31st May Donington to see if MSD issue fixed.
