Made it over...

Been doing the MSVR race series this year. TT and TDT. We got the chance to race on the Brands GP layout in July. It was mega. I did the first stint (white helmet) and my cousin the second one. We are in Class C hence the cars with a B driving away on the straights.

After a tricky, mostly wet quali at Brands Indy I put it on the front row

However, I was running nearly bald hard compound Kumho V700's that were struggling to clear water, and proper rained just before we had time to change the tyres. We still managed 9th out of 31 starters though. In testing the day before we were two seconds a lap quicker than our race pace when running the 048R's in the rain. Never mind. Live and learn. Roll on next year

Also for those that read PPC magazine, I was part of their Birkett 6h relay entry. What an amazing event that is. Would love to do it again next year

If I'd tried lapping that fast in those conditions in Stratos, I wouldn't be here to type this :lol:

Yeah, sure you would. Though not with those tyres on, for sure!

Well done, thanks for the updates.

For anyone short of laughs, the car and me are in this month's Practical Performance car magazine. It's just the intro bit before next month where the Birkett 6H is covered.

I was a bit conscious of my driving as how I raced would be written up in the mag for all to see. Thankfully I didn't disgrace myself. Huge relief

Bit of in-car footage from Snetterton the first round of the series this year. Due to a technical issue we had to start from the back. Managed to get to 2nd overall and 1st in class.

First 8 laps are worth a watch. I managed to mug a few round Coram (the second to last corner) and there is a bit of contact with a Clio that wasn't keen on being passed....

I end up doing a block pass and balking his exit from the last corner to get away. His car is in the next class up hence his better speed down the straight. Good fun anyway
