I was at Silverstone yesterday in the Eleven.  The usual chats with people about the car increased several times over due to the crowd being knowledgeable about historic racing cars and curious about the Westfield.  I had one long conversation with an elderly gentleman who used to compete against Lotus Elevens in the 1950s.  He had some lovely stories about BMC A series engines (in his case in an Austin Healey Sprite).  Some Lotus Elise owners liked the low weight, low power philosophy - one having abandoned a recent Elise (with lots of Toyota bhp) and gone back to the original Rover K Series car for that very reason.

There was a good turn out of our cars for a Friday.  Let's see how this increases today (despite a lot of rain in the forecast) and Sunday (when it should be an altogether brighter and drier day).

Back up there today - but in a car with a roof - my Renaultsport Clio V6.  We're down for a track parade as well.

How can we go from hottest day known to man kind to the rain. Oh well what a weekend and what a great parade lap.
