I found Trevor Bond's in-car video (shot from his Mini Cooper) which shows a
lot of the back end of Bob Kramer's TR4. It gives a decent look at the nature
of the track. It starts in turn 11 just before the green.

Unfortunately it shuts off too early and doesn't capture the checkered flag.
I didn't get to see any of this, of course. I was pretty far back, ending up
25th in the #6 Morgan, having picked up 3 places, with Piers 30th in the #94
Morgan, having picked up one position. I thought we did OK for a couple of
rookies.
