Thanks MGRacer,

John was the first person I thought of but, sadly, he only appears to have covered Saturday (the 22nd).

I was racing (well qualifying for a total of six laps and bending a wishbone without actually hitting anything or bothering the kerbs) on Sunday (the 23rd).

Anyone else?

I was racing there too in the Prosport. Spoke to Oli at SPEED as I had the same question and he gave me the Autosport freelance photographers details. Try oliverread@yahoo.com

Thanks Graham

I've had some photos from Oliver, before, and very good they were too.

I'll drop him an email.

Anytime. Hope you get to the bottom of the wishbone issue.

Thanks Graham

Welcome - by proximity - to the joys of a furrow lonely ploughed.

The wishbone failure is, clearly, a design and material specification fault which we have highlighted by adding shed loads of downforce and braking effort, and is a relatively simple round, thicker walled, tube, fix.

However, our front splitter (in concert with our fancy wing and underfloor) is now giving 400lbs of downforce at the front (total downforce ~ 980lbs)and - having, finally, got the support structure to do its bit - it's now trying to fold double on itself and creating porpoising vibration like you wouldn't believe.

Back, in this case, to the depressingly expensive, custom made, carbon fibre drawing board.

Congratulations, BTW, on your first in class.
