Just for the record the incident in the paddock area (what can only be described as a "burn out" up the hill) was dealt with by the clerk of the course. The driver concerned was fined.

I think Graham Bahr had his battery go flat, hence his slowing pace towards the end

My wife still thinks you need a noisier dump valve on that turbo Graham.
Add that to the list with 150A alternator, and 320Ah battery. Mr Payne's run up the hill was most unfortunate for public relations. His driving on track was quite entertaining, getting some very nice slides around the hairpin, elbow, and later, Paddock (once he got the right gear). His previous frustration with car problems should have been left elsewhere, and a financial kick in the wallet may have focussed his energies. Still he's damn good with carbon fibre!! Rob. |

yes it is fairly quiet, hopefully the new bigger engine planned for next year will sound a bit more manly and satisfy your good lady, i sure miss the real deep induction bark (not to mention the instant throttle response) from my old car, while wandering down memory lane i think i'll change teh advatar to one of my old 02 |

on a slightly different note, i used to sprint in the same circles with mr payne a good few years back and we nicknamed him " win or spin" due to his on track maxium attack and a bit more, 12 tenths driving style |

Bill brought round a video of the races from Lydden last night - that first lap incident doesn't look any better in slo-mo but it did at least let us see what actually happened. I don't think there was a lot anyone could have done to avoid it really - and looking at the video it was lucky nobody else got collected when Govett got spun round.

As you say though it was a racing incident, not really anything anybody could have done about it, with the cars that tightly bunched all it took was a wobble to trigger the mayhem. Seeing the video only went to further highlight just how lucky it was that nobody else ended up in the tyres or with serious damage. |
