Race one today is the Formula Junior race. Noel at 12th position.
He had a good start and quickly went to 10th place. Second lap, he had slowed and was back to 11th. Something is wrong. We strain to see. As he comes into sight, he has his hand up. He comes into the pit lane.
When Sue, Robin and I got to Parc Ferme, there he was with oil pouring out of the car! Devastating! Four years of planning and hoping for an invitation!
There is nothing to be done except put the car back in the marquee. It must remain on display until Sunday evening.
We go back to the Driver's Club to get a coffee. Noel showers and changes back into his dressup clothes. We join the crowds and head to Bonhams for the auction of Robin's child's Porsche that he has for sale. It sells well. We head back to the Club for lunch. Noel packs up his race gear, hands in his locker key and we head back to the motorhome to rest before tonight's party.
