it was a good race apparently. TVR retired from first place good result for Simon and Martin again though, looking stronger for the championship every round. Excellent result for the morgan though and a well deserved podium for the Harmon Kardon Tuscan.

A good race but one which was marred by an horrendous accident involving Tony Littlejohn and Geoff Lister. Both drivers were hurt, miraculously not too seriously and both cars are total write-offs.

Thankfully both drivers are OK, although it was a scary incident. |

Last info I had was that Tony has a broken arm, Geoff a very sore leg (he was taken to hospital afterwards to have himself checked over - It could easily have been much worse.

An update - Geoff has fractures in both legs plus ligament and tendon damage - he had surgery last night but is home now
Tony's arm isn't broken but he is under observation at hospital. The impact speed was 112 mph, thank god the end result wasn't far worse. |

that was a hell of a smash! cos the saleen was going much faster than the surrounding cars, having spun on lap one and going up throu the field saw the spinnning ferrari, went inside, and came across a stationary 911.
ouch!!! glad to hear they are both okish. was a good race tho. puts boring touring cars in there place even the free practice on sat morning was good! bit of grass cutting here and there!! |

rd,
Sorry to disagree with you but I felt the Morgan was a total embarassment and was totally unprepared to grace such a great race. And as for Coombe,my 8 year old son nicely summed it up when he said,"why is there a funny wedding car in with the proper racing cars!!!"enough said PM |

PM,
I think it's a great car and has surprised many a person this year. At Le Mans it completed 16 1/2 hours, thats over a whole season of a British GT season!!. But you are entitled to your oppinion. It adds to the GTO field as it's not another Porsche or Ferrari, and at Le Mans it got further than many of those I've just mentioned. |

Jason,
Yes,I admit anything different to a Porsche is good news. And yes it did last 161/2hours but that was after a complete axle swop after a few laps which kept it in the pit fr about 2 hours while all the rest of the class were racking up lap after lap. And even if it lapped quicker than an Audi,it still looks ridiculous with the Handy Andy built hardtop. Think I may enter a Fiat Toppolino next year,or a motorcycle combination. cheers# PM |

Go with the motorcycle combination, you could enter with a Norton Quote:
They are a great bunch of guys, and I wish them the best for the rest of the season and beyond - who knows 2 Morgans at LM in 2003? |

Not a Morgan fan then!?!
Its a new car, it's getting better and better and, whilst they've got a way to go yet on the handling front, they were reasonably quick this weekend. More power to them I say. |

Shame they couldn't have cleaned the **** off the front of that Morgan after Le Mans. Give that team some fairy liquid and a sponge!!!
