British GT - Knockhill - Sunday Morning Notes
Showery

Showery weather is predicted for the two 40 minute races later today so the rain which heralded the morning warm-up was, if nothing else, good practice for the 16 runners who chose to go out.

All the teams were busy practising pit stops, more critical than ever in such a short sprint race, with the two Mosler squads and the Eclipse Motorsport TVR team looking particularly slick as drivers were flung out of the car for their partners to replace them.

The only incident of note on the track was a problem for the #22 Rollcentre Racing Mosler, Tom Herridge feeling that the gearshift was looser than he was used to before finding the gear lever came adrift completely. A relatively easy fix for the crew, the car will be fine for the race.

The Rollcentre squad were in good spirits after an evening at the Cowdenbeath stock car meeting last night. Tom Herridge was impressed: “Real wheel to wheel stuff, 1000 people in the crowd and everyone seemed to be smiling. There’s got to be a lesson for British motorsport there somewhere!”

A sharp contrast with the other major motorsport event of yesterday evening, an impromptu media karting race, won by dsc’s resident four wheeled hooligan Paul “lightweight” Slinger. Ever competitive, the topic of conversation straight afterwards revolved on a discussion over how Paul’s substantial weight advantage was clearly the reason for his dominant performance! Amongst the array of talent vanquished by Slnger were Jakob “did you see that pass I just did” Ebrey and Autosport’s spikey haired bundle of talent Marcus Simmons. Well done skinny, we’re proud of ya!
