Have got the car all loaded up with all the necessary rubbish..  will get the Westy on the trailer between showers later on. 

 

Weather looking good. :sun:

 

Btw @Mole  Have you had your briefing? .. I don't think I heard anything about lifting when being overtaken? .. something I like to hear stated at a normal briefing?

I’ll be with you in spirit as I Pootle around Croft. 
 

Would much rather be at Donny - but it was just too far for me to do “in a oner” - not really that excited about my day, but I’m sure I’ll have fun. 

 

I too am all packed - but only after I realised my removable tow bar was in the compartment in the boot under everything I had just packed! Doh!

How was it then gents?

 

It was warm.. busy in the morning with quite a few red flags.. Loads of racers, some fast Caterhams, Radicals etc.. afternoon thinned out and the last hour or so there was some good clear track. Unfortunately by then I was shattered! I could only manage a few laps and had to come in. Early start, too much sunshine, and the heat took it's toll on my old body. I wouldn't do well at Le mans. 😉 

 

My car ran OK.. one major niggle was I lost my oil temp. I think the cable from the sender must be broken somewhere. Worked out OK though, as I think I overheated before the oil. 🙂 

 

Couldn't get parked up close to team Mole, so getting together on track was a bit hit and miss. Mostly miss. I had some problems with the gopro so I lost some sessions, but I've got enough to put something up.

 

Team Mole pitstop.
