So its Friday the day of qualiyfiing - we are a day ahead of normal becasue of the britcar 24hr race lasting from saturday till sunday, any way back on topic, i arrived at a very very wet silverstone to find that the "organisers" have let all sorts of people park there cars/caravans/trucks wherever they like and not followed the paddock plan, so my first mission was to find somewhere to setup our awning that will be our pit area for the weekend.

whilst setting everything up i get a text from the team letting me know they are just leaving!!! its 12pm already and we need to get the car scrutineered and and out for qualy before 5! Any way time ticks on still no car .. 3 oclock still no car ... 4 oclock still no car ... 4:50 the car finaly turns up at the track, in a last minute panic we take the car  - still on the trailor straight to the scrutineering bay , Rick Andy and Phil get the car of the trailor and scrutinered whilst i get my race suit on, luckaly the car passes but we have to make some adjustments for the wet but time is running out , we leave the scrutineers bay and head straight out on to the track where my heart rate drops back to a sort of normal level... for a few seconds as the cars then proceed to the track, and did i mention its raining hard, very hard, out on track i could see nothing of the car infront , just the occasional glimps of its ulta bright rain light. i can only compare it to following a big lorry down the motorway in heary rain with your wipers turned off .
