thta little silver thing was lapping the track faster than the Alfa in the Ta.


Doesn't everything? Can't believe they keep on turning up, race after race.


Yep, absolutely no chance of winning anything, but always have a smile on their faces and probably enjoy themselves more than all the other teams put together. Legends IMO

They are absolutely bonkers too!! To Nick.... If a competitor lays down a time within 5% of the winning time in the class above (Club Pro) they recieve a strike. 3 Strikes and you're moved into Pro class. Or something like that, lol,

Right,
Finally got to heathrow after the dash home to pack another bag (delayed while I found my driver's license...)

Anyway, great day for all of the team guys! Massive congrats to Mike - sorry I couldn't stay for the ceremony, but was pushing my luck as it was!
Have another load of photos (ad in hundreds) but of course forgot to bring the memory card with me to go through them. Will get them looked at and posted this week for you though mate.

Save for Mike, I think the Giovinazzo boys are my favourite competitors. As Nigel says, always got the biggest grins and genuinely happy. Always keen to help others, despite being one of the smallest 'teams' themselves. And for me, though I know their Alfa is sh1t, there's something quite cool about it's 90s esque Touring car look. What I wouldn't give to see these boys win a round - can you imagine how happy they would be then!

Great weekend finally got to bed at 1:30am massive thanks to Chris and George for keeping LM-95 track ready and the grass box empty! Great Teamwork fellas! Also thanks to all others that lent a hand however small it was appreciated. Oh and well done to the 'Rusty Nut' Behind the wheel. Epic lap in quallty Mike still amazed you pulled that one out the bag!! Sitting at work totally knackered but still have a smile on my face..... Time to prep for Snett next... and go for GOLD!

Couple more pics

This random little guy was a lot quicker than you would think, sure it would help if he sat on a cushion so he could see over the steering wheel

That's a Daihatsu cuore avanzato tr-xx r4 (I'm sure). Little 3-cylinder turbo engine (4wd) and prob weighs closer to 600kg stripped out. And no doubt been tweaked under the bonnet too (about 150-200bhp can be gotten out these engines with not an unreasonable spend). I'd guess it's quick in the twisties but gets monstered on the straights (the cd of 0.5 prob doesn't help :lol:)
