Post Re: Oulton Park
Just want to say a very big THANK YOU, to Simon Crook and his wife Caroline. I turned up with Jon "Spanners" who was helping out with the 'technical settings' and they both made me feel very welcome. It helps to restore my faith in humanity and 2cv'ers and why I love the 2cv scene so much(Best bunch of people in the car world). Hopefully see you both at Snetterton, if I can blag the weekend off.

Jonathan is was our pleasure, nice to meet you and we hope to see you too at Snetterton, we won't be racing but will be there supporting the race (only 24hr race in the UK this year!)

A big thank you to Jon 'Spanners' for helping out

I did see a few 2cv's parked around the circuit whilst I was driving around.

The racing side of things........................

Yet another new set up for us - New dampers and a brand new set of michelin tyres........... We seemed to have found a really good 'Wet' set-up which was a surprise!, between qualifying we made a few damper changes during and did get it wrong for the 2nd race, I really was driving the car as fast as I could around the 'Flat out' corners fighting the back end of the car which was trying very hard to swap ends with the front!

With the re-start after the big accident - a good start then went from 1st gear to 4th :roll: hey come on I'm sure I am not the first person to do that..............................................

Always nice to meet new '2cv friends' don't be shy come and say hello :D

Simon

Is it Snetterton 24hr next on the calendar?

I'll be there working for Hollis, but I'll come and say hi Simon, you're welcome to pop down to our garage for a beer.
