It was close racing between Christian Marx and me and with 62 cars (the
Triumph Competition race went together with the UK Swinging Sixties) the
track was busy too. In the 2 long left bends , I had no acceleration during
some 5 seconds, idem on the left part of the Raidillon for a couple of
seconds (the left/right sloping bend after the fast dive) because of a loose
fuel uptake pipe inside the fuel tank  On the other hand, I was lucky to
have a buffer car every now and then between me and Chris, otherwise he
would have overtaken me. After the pit stop, I suddenly had a slipping
clutch because one of the six clutch cover bolts broke and my race was over.
The clutch and fuel air leak were recitfied for the 2nd race but then a
conrod bearing failed in the 4th lap!

So , I still have mechanical troubles, but the car has proven to be very
fast when it is in good shape.

Sooner or later it will show in the results.

Marcel
