Very comprehensive and informative.
The race required a driver change (which is what the P for Pit stands for) Chris started and Harry completed.
Best lap came out at just under 70 mph average. This helps judge how the drivers and the car improve, race on race and year on year but of course last year's race was very wet and this year's was brilliant sunshine.
There were two other cars in the class but that only gives a rough guide as to relative performance. In the end the result depends on the consistency of the drivers and their ability and sympathy to the ancient machinery.

Hope the racing was fun. Good consistency in the lap times. Nice that their were no issues.

Of course there were issues...it is a Jowett.
The gearbox is leaking oil!
Any how much discussion on the overdrives, 15 inch wheels and other things to get done for Le Mans next year.
