Our car managed 4 laps in practice and we retired for the day due to our slave cylinder giving up.
If you saw the car around the paddock, i was the driver and "Gazer" was in the passenger side. Hoping to make it round Donnington, although with previous race damage the front wont look "pretty"
You just spectate or race in a series?

Just spectate, although I do hold a National B race licence. Just track days at the moment. BMW compact cup seemed to be a very good series to go in if I was going to race.
A much larger grid than I first expected for such a new series. Great close racing too.

Yeah, i spent most my time in the hall bends.... good place for action down there.
Some very good drivers push hard, its a big grid and for them all to go through them bends the crashes that happened were to be expected

Thanks to those of you who came and said Hello at Donnington.
We had major suspension issues with the car, the dampers were playing up and when adjusted was not adjusting correct asif the shims inside were sticking, plus a bush on the rear was shot causing excessive movement.
Never the less, next race is 4th Aug
