Hmm... something tells me I won't be going tomorrow... the big grey fluffy things in the sky perhaps...

long time dave! i somehow managed a 4th on the Sunday and a win on the Monday!

it poured down but those cars were okay in the wet. My win on Monday was due to confusion by the top guys in the pit lane, I came out 1st from 5th and 4 laps later the race was red flagged. So not the nicest way to win! but one none the less.

The coverage is on www.raceworld.tv and the timing here http://www.msttiming.com/meeting.asp?event=72151&source=msvr2006&eventtype=msvrclub (gotta dl the pdf)

and it was on my 23rd birthday! so a good present. Must have been almost 5 spectators in all that rain!

I will be back on SRou soon, gunning for the clubman champ! been moving and BT have taken 2 months sorting out my phone line for internet but its all sorted now!

   Welcome back - and congrats on the result.

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Saw the result - there was talk on 10 Tenths of how bonkers the Monday race was!

We'll just call you Dario from now on...

Nice one Purds, well done mate,  looking forward to watching the coverage from the link as i was away in France.

Wondered why you hadnt been around for a while...thought that 'real' racing nonsense might have been getting in the way of your virtual racing 

[purdie]

lol never MJ! real racing just prepares me for the spoils of virtual racing!!!

...plus the crowd is better in virtual racing! less snobs up there own arse, and can actually drive! lol 

[EdamSpeed]

Well done Mr. Purdie! Sounds like you had as much fun in the wet as I did, although I was a bit further North

Same here. Real cars take a bit longer to set up unfortunately. Wish I could just click a button to change my springs

[purdie]

lol if only, people cant believe when I have two people working all weekend just on one car. But everything needs checking and at the end of the day the car is 20 years old!!!!!

have a video here of it from Top Gear 1989! Tiff raced the car with Derek Bell and they were testing at Silverstone on the vid:
