Finals

RAINED OFF. All weekend we had truly scorchio weather with track temperatures reaching 160 degrees, but at 16:10 the skies  opened & produced a meeting stopping downpour. British weather don't you just love it!

Thanks to the organisers  & track staff who did an amazing job in difficult conditions.

Mike Callan had an incident on the M5 during the long tow back down to Cornwall. He ended up on the grass embankment facing the wrong way with 4 flat tyres! Mike & the race car are ok.
