Without the aircon, what did they do - are they running a dummy pulley system? If so, this may be a good spare part to order .

I wonder what happens to these cars...??

Love that photo

Two videos now online, wmv only, but will add quicktime later.

The clicking in the pit lane is the camera, it's faulty, no idea why it does this.

Great videos.....
Like the driving school one - very cool.

[Paul]

Driving school? Should be two different laps of the race track in the GP.

[LMB]

Cool vids Paul.

[LMB]

Did you have to pit after each lap?

[Paul]

Annoyingly you had to drive through the pits each lap, but you kept going round and around....

Nothing new that hasn't been in the detailed photos in the GP gallery in the MINI2 Galleries.

Photos etc. of me in the car to come later with the report though.



For the track, we did the whole thing, but miss the longest straight (turn in right, just before you would turn right on to the stop/start straight line, then pull out of the pit lane just at the end of the straight.

The long straight at the back was (as you saw) made less straight with the cone chicane. Still could get very fast down that bit, was a shame you couldn't blast around the whole thing though.
