What a tremendous day! Drove up from Leeds this morning to Elvington to get a noise test and watch a bit of track action. Mate was there in a Caterham so blagged a few passenger laps. Bit of sun, couple of burgers, then a 100 mile detour back to Leeds

This car is bl00dy great!

Oh and at Elvington a Westfield (I think) had it's bonnet fly off on track Gaffer tape would help methinx

Today is the first day I've been in the car in warm weather. Fantastic. Let's hope the weather lasts.

What a great day.

New radiator has sorted the hot running. Never gets above half now.

Done about 200 miles today then came home to wash the flies off.

What a great day, but my forehead feels a bit raw now. It looks as shiny as my car!!

I can't wait for the drive to Le Mans now.

I was at Elvington yesterday as well. What happened to that XTR2 that only did 1/2 a lap.

Not sure, thought they'd red flagged the session just for the helicopter to show off Mate in the Caterham said he passed the XTR and it had spun about halfway round - not hit anything but I guess something terminal went snap underneath which probably caused the spin?

That light-blue Caterham was giving it some beans
