James,

Great to see the car out on the track and good to meet you and Dave. Considering the experience of some of the other competitors in your class I thought you did extremely well, especially seeing how awful the conditions were on Monday.

I'll look forward to seeing you at Lydden in October, and if there is a god and a miracle happens, there just might be 2 RX7's competing !

Cheers

The weather did it's best to make things miserable for a while. Here we see James putting his super sticky rubber to the test off the line

A nice spot to get an action overview. Look out for a wee bit of f-f
