50 min race for 1 or 2 drivers with a compulsory 1 min pit stop.
Race was run over the old historic GP circuit in very bright sunny hot weather.
As my own car was not ready for this race I was very generously offered a drive in the DAVRON Aston Martin DB2 belonging to David and Anne Reed.
Qualifying:-
A full grid of 39 cars. With Austin Healey, E-Types, Cobra, Ace, Jaguars, MG and other Astons.
We managed to qualify 36 with a time set by Anne of 2 min 44sec. My best was 2 min 47 sec.
The Race:-
Anne started the race and made good ground over taking several cars including our main Aston competitors.
After 10 laps Anne pitted for the change over but our overall in-lap, pit stop and my out lap was 17 sec slower than Car 49. This was may fault as I had problems with my gloves and wasted about 10 secs in the pits.
We managed to finish in 22 position and were closing on car 49 but ran out of time and ended just
10 sec behind.
Our best lap was 2 min 31sec.
We were 3rd in class and received a very nice trophy from MGCC.
Many thanks to David and Anne for offering me the drive.
