Beginner at Silverstone

Today was testing, scrutineering and documentation. 

It finally stopped raining half an hour before Noel went out. The track was very wet and slippery. He had three laps and spun and came in. He was out there with some very powerful cars: Formula 5,000's, Formula 3's and Formula 2's. So he always had to be very aware of what was coming up behind in the mirrors. Another two laps later in the afternoon before testing was red flagged as someone had an accident. Not enough time to learn a very difficult circuit.  This is the Historic GP version, one of three variations at Silverstone.

Lovely to be greeted by some of the FJ family who were in NZ earlier in the year. Also enjoyed a glass of red with Duncan in our motorhome.

The pause in the weather didn't last.  It is still raining as we retire to bed! And very cold!
