Yes, we were right next to him - quite a bit of smoke, but the car was on the back of a truck at 4.30, so at least rescued. I overheard that his alternator had been fried too. Consillation is that at least he got the lap in first, I guess!Such a blast. Drew, very jealous. Miles, you surely get beer for life from me, sir!
Pretty sure we broke the ton. The old lass not missed a beat, although I think she's a bit grumpy now. The heat was getting to her. Not as bad as the chap John we met who's Spyder's drive belt let go when he turned on the aircon in the post lap staging area. Last seen waiting 3 hours for the RAC

As if Merrian and I would be driving faster than 20mph on a race track! Must admit the parade lap was more of a buzz than I thought it was going to be - loved pushing it harder and overtaking on the straight And it was great to look across and see Merrian smiling away (we tried to stay as a pair around the track).Blonde and T doing more than 20 on the track... my excuse was to keep them in camera view

Indeed, at least he finished. ...Not sure why John's alternator should be fried, unless of course it was that, not the aircon compressor
I was two cars back in the next row, smoke wasn't clever, then when the bonnet was opened I half expected flames, hope it recovers OK...
