RIP! Don't suppose you got any pictures of car 11 during or after the incident which put him and car 2 out of the race?

We all had a great day, and Hi to all the people we caught up with - I heard that we got 279 on the track and had just broken the record - also they are going to try and do another one next year - maybe at brands and put more effort into planning it a good year in advance. They still want to beat the record ferrari set for most cars on the track - about 360

Has anybody considered that there were 32 MINIs parked on the track at the Melbourne loop ready for the afternoon race at the same time? Does this constitute being on track?!!!!!!!!!!!!!i

As we came round Melbourne I actually thought they had formed a guard of honour for us to drive through - then we were led off the track on the hairpin

On both the 'car park' pics on page four, the chap in the red t-shirt is stood right in the way of my car!

The Minx was between Snowies GP, and the Sparkling Silver R56 S
