I raced at Donington Park in the opening CSCC Magnificent 7s race of the season. Very warm…..in the sun but very chilly if not.
A good and very busy meeting with approx 420 cars entered across all grids over two days. The recruitment of 3-4 orphan series from other clubs (the old Kumho BMW series, MGCC’s Midget & Sprites and their MG ZRs, and the JEC Jags and Hawthorn Jags) swelled numbers and was very successful.
Unfortunately I had a DNF with an electrical problem about 3/4 the way through my race but had really enjoyed it up to then.
I discovered later that had I finished I would have had a 30 sec penalty for a short pit stop - we have a compulsory 1 min 30 secs pits stop from pit in to pit out to allow (or simulate) driver changes but I did mine in 1 min 29.917 secs!!!
Rules is rules, I suppose!
