The 10th round of the British GT championship takes place at Silverstone on the GP circuit this Sunday 13th August. Oliver Bryant and I will be running The Aero 8GT once again.
Testing on Friday, Qualifying on Saturday and a two hour race on Sunday. A refuelling pit stop will be required for the Aero and most other cars.
One of the two drivers celebrates his 50th Birthday on Sunday so let's hope for a good result!
Best wishes, Keith.

– that must mean Grahame Bryant is about 80 years old
I wonder what is the percentage of over 80s in the series...............

That’s quite a silly comment Mary.
My mummy told me it’s impolite to ask a lady her age, so I can’t answer your question.

Do you mean you think I am the only one likely to be over 80 years old ???????
I am sure your Mummy would have something to say about a remark like that!

We finished, but not where we wanted to be.
Oliver was lying second after sixteen laps when the gear change linkage broke. It took Billy and Ian eighteen minutes to repair it in the pit lane. We rejoined last but got back to eighth in Class for one championship point..
Very disapointing, as the gearbox has just been back to the manufacturer for an overhaul.
Thanks to so many people, Morgan owners and others, who expressed support and made kind comments about the Aero over the weekend.
Best wishes, Keith.

That's very bad luck Keith. Impressive to get the car back on track so quickly but a shame when you were so well positioned.
