Top Gear track excitement!

Been a while since the last update....sorry about that, the beginning of term is always very hectic indeed!!

On 29th September the team travelled to one of my favourite tracks, Dusfold park in Surrey, more commonly known as the BBC Top Gear track.....yes, the one that the Stig drives around!!!

Arriving nice and early, we quickly got through scrutineering and managed an hour's decent practise before the race.

Despite some very over enthusiastic marshals (very) who continually made driver changes far slower than they ought to have been, all of our drivers had a good race (bar a couple of spins as the Hammerhead bend was slippery) with the notable exception of Tash the Crash, who was unceremoniously side swiped off the track and onto the grass by another team!!

During our final driver change a quick visual inspection reassured us that no serious damage had been done and our car continued faultlessly, gradually gaining places right up to the flag placing us a very respectable 5th at the end of the race.
