It wont surprise many to hear that Mr Bennett (Track driving God!) managed a paltry 7.75 laps across the two circuits before Zolder today... he might have made 10 laps including Zolder....
A combination of a red flag (Hethel) and a hangover has meant his track driving machine has not seen much hard use.... safe to say 1st and 2nd gear will have taken a kicking on the way through each town though!!
Anyway, enough of my utter

Good luck to those heading on to Snetterton & Cadwell; and also to those making their way home at the moment / tomorrow!
Which makes me wonder, who is chaperoning UJI home?! I understand some minor mechanicals have come into play, which is a shame
I assume FBF at the helm. Or a recovery truck! Safe home.

Was just gonna compliment you on the pics..
Well ,they're great anyway. Good visual dynamics.
Looks like you had an epic trip again. Great weather, fantastic tracks and the usual nonsense.

Couple of nice snaps of what was surely the lowest powered but most ably piloted S1 at Spa
Safe home, Robin. We'll review the engineering report in mid July.
Hope the rest of you are having a blast and upholding SE reputation accordingly...
