check here for race dates, TVRs follow the same date as the F3's

That's true up to a point - however we are also doing a standalone round at Oulton without F3.
A far more reliable calendar is available on www.andyholdenracing.com on the 2004 season page :blatantplugmodeoff:
Yes, GTs are at Snett and yes, the 5/6 June date is correct

I think 'not very good' are probably the words that spring to mind.
I spent the weekend removing the fuel bay and chopping the glass fibre damage away - which included the floor of the fuel bay (which turned out to be numerous layers thick, some of them hadn't even set, and it was all very heavy). I have the sun burn to prove it too!
We now need to cut out the damaged outrigger section(all the strength has gone from it, but luckily the roll cage pick up points look fine), weld a new one in, then rebuild all the body work around it.
TVR are moulding a new door sill which will help enormously. Its a lot of work though. We have both rear quarters to fix and respray the whole of the passenger side and back of the car. Then reassemble the fuel and oil systems (the fuel tank frame bust in the impact), replace a front wishbone, then re-corner weight it. All in just over a week!
There are two bits of good news. 1) we don't need a new chassis and 2) I already had a spare bonnet back at the ranch, sprayed up and ready to go on the car.
I am worried about getting it done in time. More so than the Donington damage, and I am flat out at the moment with the day job.
Still, that's the glamour of motor sport!!
We'll make it somehow
