Thanks for all your support and good wishes. Unfortunately, a problem in qualifying led to me knocking the big ends out of the Jag engine ! After analysising the datalogging we appear to have identified the route cause and should have it rebuilt and sorted in time for the next round on the 21st June at Oulton. On the positive side the 6R4 went down a storm. It created a massive amount of interest and everyone was pleased to see it there. It looked and felt great on the 11" rear slicks for the short period of time we were running. Once again, thanks for your support. We'll be back !!! Cheers Ian

Apart from the slight :roll: engine problem a good day all round. Carnage in just about every race (including a mini in the lake) ! The 6R4 created a real buzz - former owns and fans alike. Great to see the old tractor can still draw a crowd. Roll on June 21st. Garreth

Such a shame to hear about your engine problems Ian. Hope it all gets sorted pretty quickly. Great to hear of all the interest the car has created :D Im sure the car will get it at all the race meetings. Ill see if I can make it up for the race on the 21st. Did anyone get any pics of the car Ian/Garreth?

Sorry Mark - forgot my camera. Would have had plenty of time to take photos though ! Thankfully the data logging made it much easier to diagnose the cause of the problem. and it will be rectified before the next race. The other competitors seemed a nice bunch - and there's some nice kit there. The ex DTM astra (V8 RWD !) was something else ! Will get some pics next time ! Garreth
