Today's race at Cadwell Park ended rather painfully. The rather nippy Fiat Uno of Chris Brogden (with a 160bhp 1500 engine out of an X1/9 ironically) started losing oil all over the track - two laps later he lost control and hit the wall at Barn hairpin after coming across a patch of his own oil slick. Unfortunately I was just a few feet behind him when it happened:



Odds are I won't be racing again this year while I get a new car built and prepared. Thankfully it is only really the shell that was damaged (and the new radiator - doh) so I can transplant everything else.
