Thank you.
Oh and I saw Patrick Peter around this afternoon - I should have asked him. Seriously, it is pretty bad to do that.

Day and night qually is now over. Leigh reports that his +4 Flat Rad (car 42) in Plateau 2 and all six +4s in Plateau 3 came through the day OK but Keith's TOK (car 28) was not classified (?) and Adrian's XOV (car 8) was unable to make the night session. XOV is reportedly undergoing an engine change! The hot weather is taking it's toll. Only 2 laps were completed at night by the field before the session was halted.

Keith was the fastest +4 during the day whilst night honours go to the French +4, car 38 (Regent/Garamond)......whist France was beating Uruguay....a good night for the French then!

It's all over after a long and very hot weekend.

In Plateau 3 Keith and TOK finished in an incredible 10th overall on scratch having completed 27 laps.

Adrian and XOV took the +4 handicap honours also finishing in 10th place but 16th on the road just behind John Emberson and Mike Bell.

In Plateau 2 Leigh and Peter drove his flat rad +4 into 30th place on the road and 26th on handicap after completing 19 laps.

All the +4s completed all their three races, a fine achievement.
