With the Mendips season over the team found themselves making
the long 5 hour journey north to Buxton so that Brian could have his first
outing in the car this season. It was looking like being a wasted journey
though as the weather really closed in as we made our way up the huge
hills to the track in near zero visibility.
Quite a change of weather in 1 hour! :)
Thankfully luck was on our side today though and by the time
practice arrived the weather had cleared completely allowing Brian to
get a good 5 runs in as he reacquainted himself with the car. Despite
being fairly worn out after practice Brian seemed happy enough with the
car, the only cause for concern being the slight smoking engine which
wasn’t looking that healthy and is clearly due a rebuild.
