  1. Greetings from the Bol d'or 
    #1
    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.

    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    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.
