Let me start by saying to sorry to all the decent cars that were out on the ring at lunchtime on the 5th July 2009. It's not that we wanted to drive slowly, but the car was just not that quick. Everything was quicker than us, in the same way that Concorde is quicker than a Cesna, we did our best, but at every corner we had to move away from any racing line to let quicker, and much better cars past. Marc drove the first lap and to be honest we felt like we were rookies taking on the Luftwaffe. The rear view mirror was full of German machinery bearing down on us with headlights blazing.
Admittedly the box of dry ice, crates of beer, cooking and camping gear were not helping our cause much either, nor was the 196000 recorded miles on the odeometer but, now committed we pressed on.
