Is your car still playing up Keith?

We have the first new venue for years this weekend - the Lotus test track at Hethel. Should be interesting…

Good luck at Wiscombe

Got it running yesterday but I’m going to replace fuel pump etc before I take it to Wiscombe next weekend. Can’t complain about the ‘stand in’ though!

Practice day at Prescott today for a very critical event where I could loose the chance of the Championship Class win for 2022.

Could/will be rain, and I'm the only one without cut slicks.
My closest/only rival in the big TVR is just 12 points behind me and if it is wet could net a good 8 points off me, down to 4 points lead to me for loton in 3 weeks.

Really feeling the pressure as i want my name on the trophy gain (and for the 5th time)

Spent day at Wiscombe in Adrian Crawford's 911 in the Rally Car class, where flat-shift, 300bhp Escorts rule the roost. Had two PBs for Wiscombe (50.74 and 50.75!) but couldn't quite get under the 50-second barrier due to never quite achieving the perfect run... Photo perfectly captures how not to take the final bend at Martini.

Especially since it’s Wis corner, the first one! 🙄
Well done KS, look forward to some more PB’s next weekend in your 914 😎

Completed my S toolkit (albeit the wrenches are SSS and should be large-font DFS with machined-heads but haven’t found a nice set at a sensible price yet…)

Stone chip and sound deadening. Then in to the garage.

I'm counting my blessings today after a really long run of good weather has enabled me to put in the floor, literally ending with the heavens opening the minute I finished.

Is that sideways or just a lot of lock?
Either way it looks fun

A lot of lock on the slowest/tightest corner!

Stunning day at Prescott today.
Key race day to keep me on target to take the Midland Championship Class win for 2022 and rain forcasted.

I won't bore you all with the details, but....

1st in class on both race runs, each netting a PB AND 5 points.
Lady luck was on my side, but the Lola was simply out of this world.

No rain and i was determined not to be beaten!

PB now 44.15 and I'm sure there is a good low 43 in there next year.

Loton Park in late September and it is all over.

I'll post a full '2022 season' review' when the dust has settled.
