Yes he was very close. He did get me in the end - my brakes and tyres were going off due to a combination of understeer and bump steer.  I'm fixing this at the moment though
If you get a chance Richard - it might be nice to update the pics on the gallery page. I hardly recognise the car from those pics anymore

Apart from the racing shots which would go on Sport Scene, I've got one nice pic of your car that's on Cars of te Month. If you'd like to send me one or two more I'll certainly update the page.

PS I've changed and renamed your page so the above link won't work.

It's a good photo but I'm not sure it's improved by tilting the camera like that.

Isn't it just a very steep hill - Brooklands perhaps?

Finally got my Jem back together ready in time for the race last weekend. Fixing the bump steer and adding a rear anti-roll bar mad a big difference (1.5 seconds a lap quicker).





















Unfortunately I had trouble with the incar camera's so I only got some footage of the only race I didn't have people around me. Put up 1 lap anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQVNKFq0UoY

We had a festival a couple of weeks ago down here in Australia. The celebration was for 50 years of Mini's in Australia and the main event was at Wakefield Park raceway. Was great fun and a really good turn out. There was some great racing and I had a ball being thrown in with the sports sedans!
There were a lot of nice minis including famous race cars and different derivatives - Buckle, Broadspeed, Nota Fang, Midas, Marcos and my Jem
Was good to meet up in person with Geoff Dunlop and check out his Mk3 Marcos. He hasn't had it out for a while and I think he enjoyed getting back in it.

I've put up the incar videos for my races:

Yeh, that was good fun in race 3. Robert tried a bit of a desperate lunge at the end of the straight but only stuffed himself up (luckily). Spent the rest of the race in clean air so didn't bother uploading that part.
