Didn't get even to sit in one myself, all I did was hang the signal board out.

Nope, no troubles. No accidents, not even a spin. That helped a lot with
our finishing position because many teams lost cars.
BTW, there was a team entirely Elans (type 26, 36, 45), another of Lotus
Sevens, including a couple of S4s, several teams of Caterhams, and a single
Esprit V8, but I don't know what team he was in. There was one team of
Bugattis, which made the most fantastic noise, and the quickest would keep
with a 911 Turbo in a straight line!
Cheers,
Mike
