    After 900 miles through mixed weather, I finally made it. What a great circuit!
    Victor Cox, who is riding for R2CL and running in 12th as I type, popped out of the garage to have a chat.
    What a top guy.

    Magic, have a great trip

    Vic's team managed 15th despite only having 2 riders after Aaron collapsed with exhaustion. A massive achievement considering it's his first endurance race ever and first race in 2 years.

    being in France for the race, meant I got to watch a fair few hours of it on terrestrial tv, something the BBC could take notice of. good to see Victor having fun.
    good to see local interest , the old NGMCC days of Russell Benny and his Phase 3 team from down Bridgewater way.

    Managed to blag our way on to the roof of the main building for the last 3 hrs then somehow convinced security to let all 11 of us into the pits!
    Imagine trying that at Silverstone!

    This was my first trip to the Bol and I can't recommend it enough.
    There was loads going on, Paul Ricard is an amazing circuit, great atmosphere and some amazing roads.

    Small point, but it's Phase One, there's never been a Phase Two or Three.
    Good on you for the mention, we're doing the final round of the European Classic Series (4-hour Endurance races using engines up to 1983 and racing chassis of the period) at Motorland Aragón on the evening of Saturday 29th Oct - why not come down for a spot of end-of-season action? We lead the series by 7 points going into the final round, but there are a total of four teams in with a realistic shout of winning the championship.
    Racing is life, anything before or after is just waiting.
