ES32 Report "kindly sent from Chris" |
We have just crawled back to the hotel room at 1120 at night after a full day at the track, with another 6.30 start planned.
Exhausting - you would think they'd schedule racing in a more civilised fashion given the age of many of the contestants... but no
After a perfectly respectable result in Prod 24 yesterday, today was not flash.
Both ES32 cars were running beautifully, but not their drivers - lack lustre qualifying, then I destroyed the body when knocked off the track and spent 27 laps extracting lexan from the gears before resuming with second body ... came 53rd. :-(. Allan managed 45th overall.
Still there is tomorrow to look forward to! GP cars are running sweetly - guess its up to the drivers...
more news when we are less stuffed!
cheers
