Phew!
Somewhat impressive imho, those figures are remarkable from an engine from a small organisation.
Thanks for the post Neil.

It's been 5 years since we last went to the Sept SPA race, really miss it, so maybe this year coming and extend to a French Tour.
20 GT40's...what a dream!
Wish my gearbox was that good.

I exchanged hellos, in the pits, with Alex after he finished driving at Goodwood a few years ago. Didn't seem like the time for a chat but quick impression is that he is exactly as he comes across. Quite approachable and friendly.
