...it looked exciting on the Telly!  ;D

Mad number of crashes, lots of overtaking......

Hope everyone's cars aren't as bad as some of them looked....  and more importantly nobody is carrying injuries.

Well done to Clarky and Alec on 2nd race performance, was a fun battle!

Looking forward to picking up cudgels again at Croft.

Meanwhile - thanks to Dodo Juice for the very nice tankard for 3rd place.  Best podium present I've had yet!  Believe the other trophies were also quite special!

PS.  I totally disagree with the commentator that James should have continued with a bonnet wrapped over his roof.  What kind of lunatic suggestion is that!!??

and thanks to all for making us most welcome. even if our race performance was a little below par!
We were actually quite pleased with what we did, given the engine was only fired up for fist time on friday, we had never driven a 2cv before and this was  first circuit race for both of us, let alone first race with a bunch of  2cv loonies.

We now have a long list of what we need to do for next time and will start on that after a little rest.
