One sleep left!

Not sure if we will get any sleep as there is still so much to do.
Noel racing round working on the next car! He has also spent some time on a simulator. The only driving he's done in a while. However I'm sure his natural instincts will kick in. He's looking forward to being reunited with the Gemini.

Counting the sleeps...

We have received the final instructions from Goodwood. Twenty eight pages! Plus the drivers lists for all the races. There is Noel's name! Must be true!

We have been waiting and waiting for the entry forms to enroll for Spa in Belgium. It is the weekend after Goodwood and therefore requires quite a bit of organization to get there with motor home and trailer. They  have appeared at last. Noel has to pay a fee to race there and unlike New Zealand, it is a hefty GBP695 - for one race! No wonder everyone likes to come out here and race. For a few hundred NZ dollars, you can race 4 or 5 times in a weekend, plus practice and qualifying. Anyway, Spa is on " the most wanted" list and in for a penny in for a pound - or two!

Spa-Francorchamps is apparently a very pretty area near the German border. The track is one of the oldest Formula One circuits and one race takes about 30 minutes, so should be quite a test for both driver and car.
