Thanks Tony, for these "happy" memories.......... BillW actually had a camera in the car for the race but apparently all you can "see" at the start is a completely foggy white-out with some idiot (me) with no hands on the wheel trying to wipe the windows!!

I'd love to go back to Spa, preferably avoiding the monsoon season next time!

Chris,
It's all a question of priorities you see!

Exactly where you would expect them to be when they would be the perfect tyre for the conditions....

Spent the GD race wondering if my Plus 4 would have been a better choice than 'Gilbert' Gilbern- certainly could have reached more of the screen and been able to see round left handers, but guess would have been a lot wetter!
Having had two glorious visits to Spa in '08 & '09 guess a wet one one was on the cards sometime..........
Roll on Portimao- it can't rain there can it?

This explains why there was a small boating lake in the boot of the Bastos in the morning.
