Thanks Stephen

Car is not too bad, it looks like just a new roof panel and a good wash should sort it out.

It was the first, and hopefully the last time, I have been upside down and it is an interesting experience!

Once again thanks to you and your team and hopefully next time I see you I will be on the black stuff!

And it was me that gave you the advice on undoing belts in an upside down car if you end up in that situation again!

Pleased to hear that your car is not too badly damaged.

From my vantage point in amongst the spectators at Paddock (on a rare day off), I felt hat having Jon Bryant and Jeff Bloxham on the same corner was simply inviting disaster. Amazed you only got one Mini in despite their presence....

I told you that you might make your way onto youtube!

Don't know what you could be implying...

Thanks for the advice, but I hope not to be upside down ever again!

Yep, I remember you mentioning Youtube. The race was also being filmed so it may be on Sky Sports or Motors TV! It looks such a gentle roll from the outside, but it didn't feel that gentle from the inside. I like the way the crowd is cheering!

Everyone I have spoken to who has seen it has been impressed with the speed that you got to the car once it had stopped. Having looked at all the video's and pictures from the weekend, you all got plenty of practice at sprinting across the gravel trap at Paddock Hill Bend on both days!

Mine will be up of yours this evening Steven

Thanks Jon, brilliant pictures. Will see if I have any money left after repairing the car and if so will buy some!

Hi all the guys on 4A, it was exciting place to be on my second weekend of Marshalling for the racing and stories. Looking forward to next year now - training day and then many weekends standing around circuits.

It was nice to have you as part of the team and we look forward to welcoming you back again next year!

The one we had on Post 7 in the Final took out 10 posts as well and rather a lot of tyres.
