1 Brian or one of his ‘lads’
2 Trailer in case he can’t fix it
On a more serious note I should think the best advice would be from those who drive to the circuit as they need to keep car going to get home. And they will be up with the RAC / AA policy on rescue from circuits.
At Brands my car was found to have a cracked brake drum – which Brett replaced for me from BHM. And in the past I recall problems with brake light sensor switch that seems to fail just as one drives into scrutineering bay.
In the ‘old days’ it was plugs, coil, voltage regulator, distruibutor cap, etc but nowadays I think that is all replaced by a laptop computer ?
