We lost the Spitfire sculpture at Donington Park a few years ago, but this made up for it. It flew over as I headed up towards McLeans. See the video.

Qualifying at Donington
A class pole was the reward for repairing the radius arm, replacing the clutch and rewiring the fuel pump and wipers. Not that the wipers were needed.

Donington Park GP track day
Some of the other cars on track:
An MX5 hounding a Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica.
It raced at Le Mans in 1953 (the Frazer Nash, not the MX5), was auctioned last year at Goodwood revival. It didn’t sell then, but did sell earlier this year. We shared a garage with it.
A Rover Vitesse lapping hard. Excellent.
A two seater FunCup Beetle. Friendly bloke looking after it who we also shared a garage with.

CSCC Mallory Park
The weekend started off with a relaxed start to the day. Late scrutineering made it nice and easy. Until an incorrect sign on ticket meant we were scrutineering twice. A flat battery, lots of pushing. Driving back to scrutineering it a pot hole in the paddock and there was a broken suspension. Nice.
Met some great people. A steward leant us a welder and a fellow racer fixed the suspension.
He also turned out to be a nifty racer too. A team that really knew how to go racing.Sunday morning practice resulted in a clutch problem after just three laps and a position at the back of the grid.
Clutch fixed the race went well. The start was fun, after hardly any running and no racing laps for years it was great to be side-by-side through Goddards. The next few laps were very busy. There was a problem towards the end when she kept jumping out of second. Third in class and ninth overall was the result.There are a lot of pictures from the official CSCC photographer here.
