hgb would you like us to drop a cake round?

[hgb]

That's a brilliant idea. I'm sure he will be very pleased.

And I see the Rollcentre Mosler's on pole !  Is it my imagination, by the way or is there rather less of the good Mr Short these days?
The duller BMW (what a thought) is 2nd.

The aren't qualifying until tonight so I heard!

[termietermite]

Well, I stand corrected but there are quali' times posted on dailysportcar now!  Perhaps just first quali?  Sorry. Still, a good omen nevertheless.
Yep - another session after dark.

Will everybody rush out and buy a Beemer now?

[hgb]

Thanks for the results, geoffd.

It was their first race in the new Z4, so not bad at all. Or did they enter the car in a VLN round before ?

Oh sh!t... Rollcentre is a DNF despite setting the fastest lap time of the race. It looks like they collect all the bad luck this season. Anyone know what happened ?

Good to see Willie on the podium, though.

Fuel pressure problems which dogged it throughout the race.  Finally conked out at Luffield but it had spent hours in the garage before this.

From what Shorty told me at about 11.30pm, They had a fuel problem in the first hour, blocked the fuel injectors with metal fileings! Then the wiring loom burnt through! He was not a happy chap, but he liked the cakes we dropped round.

I belive it was the BMW's 1st outing, but was basicly a factory effort, wich I throught was not quite in the sprite of the event. But it was a great day and we were able to wander in and out of garages and chat to the teams.

Though three and half hours safty car was not a lot of fun, but there was a a real pea souper of fog in the morning. The safty car was out for so long they had to bring it in and re-fuel it, I belive it was classed as being 23rd!!!!!
