Yup, I was just about to put a lap on Owen when it happened. Passed Mickey a lap earlier I think so he's probably got footage as he exited Druids.

I've put my T350R on-board video from Brands onto my racing website. Not a good day for the Griffs. Opening lap sees Andys tank slapper and spin plus a few laps before the end Owens little incident. Link below.

Thought 'mind the monster Griff' indicated you were lightly tagged. All a bit tight in there.

didn't see the text...was looking at the positions. boxedin

knew i'd shut the door on him (had to, howard had already slipped through) and to be fair, it wasn't a heavy punt...just a tap at the worst time.

Still, best I could have done was 2nd i/c, and looking at the ease your car was posting 53s, I doubt I could have held you all race lomg. Just would have made it more interesting.

Incidentally, mine was slower than last year...and age off the throttle again. Balance is wrong and it ripped the tyres again rage I'm at OP on wed so we'll see if the changes are working again there.

btw, your camera set uop is working well, only sellected rounds tho???wink

I forgot to fit it at Cadwell. Typical, passed loads of cars plus my first race win and I didn't get any of it. 2nd race at Snett was like watching paint dry so I haven't even bothered keeping it.

We couldn't get our car working at all at Brands. Tyre grip was hopeless even though I've tried to look after them, still plenty of rubber left but it seems after 6 heat cycles they're shot. We had huge turn in understeer and power oversteer, I'm still at a bit of a loss as to why but I'm sure we'll sort it for Anglesey.

I think it was a racing incident at Paddock Hill, a slight tap when your on the edge is often all it takes (particularly on cold tyres). I can remember cutting through the field on a wet Lydden track in 04 making up loads of places. I got a very small tap into the hairpin, went all the way around it on full opposite lock including using the grass and lost every single place I'd made up. Racing eh!!! you gotta love it.

Well, I wouldn't want to try and keep up...even in say, a DBR9. biggrin

I'm supposed to be having some complimentary tickets for Anglesey, so my boy and I will do a camp-over.

Look forward to seeing the Tivs at full thrap again. bounce
