Hi Shawn, 

It was an exciting race at the start. The Mini Marcos was so small Josh could not see him in his mirror but knew he was there so went wide to avoid contact. We were giving away 350 & 400kgs to the Lotus and Mini Marcos with only a little extra power, 10 & 50bhp respectively. Both those cars were well driven and deserved their podiums.

Btw, at the prize giving the Duke of Richmond described the TR as being exquisite 😀😀

If we get invited back we will run a little less weight, we were 30kgs over our FIA weight limit, a bit more power and we might even go testing to get the right gear ratios setup; a 4.3:1 axle was not quite right for Goodwood. 

Anyhow, we are all still smiling happily over the result so thank you to everybody for your support, it has been fantastic.

One more thing, the Duke sent a camera crew over who were with us on the Friday and Saturday, seems like there will be a feature video on the Goodwood website and social media coming soon. 

Thanks all,

Keith
