Qualifying was eventful for many drivers! The heat did nothing to help these old cars and many suffered from overheating and drivers came in literally dripping. One Brit had an accident. Noel had gearbox failure again!
He has worked so hard to get it right, neither of us understand why it is an ongoing problem. He did bring another with him so it's head down tail up again today!
He got up early this morning. The Big Black Kiwi truck people have loaned him a hoist and hopefully some help. He hopes to make the afternoon race.
This is after painfully slow dinner service when we ate in the old city with the Kiwis last night. Very nice meal but made it very late getting back to camp. And we got lost! Some Aussies we know who were at the same restaurant, told us about a shortcut. Aussies! Yeh, right!
You may wonder why there are no photos with is blog. It is 7:30 am on Sunday (despite what my blog says) and we have thunderstorms and heavy rain. No longer complaining about the heat! I don't know what this does to the race schedule, but obviously totally unsuitable for racing on this circuit and particularly for open wheelers. I'll let you know.
Foot note: yes, I do know it's Park Firma, not Terra Firma. But it's good to know something is reliable!
