Before I left for the Southern Hemisphere, I noticed that an increasing number of racers had made the leap into EVs and why not? With Morgan keeping thei r EV plans secret (aside from their 3 wheeler EV), I took the plunge and bought a SMART ED..and what a revelation it is. The torque surprised me a...

Plateau 1 Race 3 Sunday A perfect celebration of Phil's life with all Morgans completing 6 laps. Simon in DLJ was the first british Morgan home closely followed by Graeme and third was Leigh. Simon did not see Graeme alhough only a few seconds seperating them as he said to me "Graeme was runni...

Plateau 1 Race 2 Saturday evening The devastating news from the UK that Phil lost his struggle with life. Perhaps a fitting tribute was made by Graeme in bringing Phils Series 1 Morgan home ahead of all the other Morgans. Simon and Leigh followed Graeme home all completing another 6 laps.....the ve...

All completed 6 laps. The French had the fastest time recorded at 153.9 kph...some 15 kph quicker than Graeme in my...

I also have finished reading the Lance Macklin story......more of a novel than a biography. But still enjoyable. It made me re visit Nixon's book "mon ami mate" and also Stirling Moss, Alf Francis and Mike Hawthorn's biogs....much more factual (?) and less embellished. Le Mans start "...
