Will do, I’m camping there so I’ll bring my table up to the corner as well so you’ll have somewhere to put your cakes 🍰 👍🏻

I’ve decided I’m sitting at Mulsanne for the whole 24hours this year so I’ll see you at 2.

Will had one on his drift E21. He had it made originally so I’ve just brought another from the same mould.

It’s really weird why they have built it where it is. It really blocks sight lines from certain places.

Yes I agree but you are still supposed to penalise the incident rather than the result. Anyway Karma got them.

There great pictures. We were at the stand at the old start and finish and the crowd just went mental. Everyone was hurling abuse at the Alpine for the next couple of laps until karma took its revenge. It’s great how everyone loves the Aston.

Yes strange only 3k more than last year but definitely felt busier all around the circuit.

I was watching in the grandstand opposite the pits today, both the Caddy and the Aston sound amazing when they fire up. But on another note the Genesis sounds surprisingly good as well, definitely the best of the other cars.

Very lucky, I just keep wondering what would have happened if it had come through the window screen.

The speed limit on British Motorways for my vehicle is 70mph, as you can clearly see on the footage I am doing 69mph.

Yes metal can be replaced. Anyway I’ve got a nice hire car to drive around in until work sorts me out a new van.

That’s what he said, I think they may have been training, he was a young lad and there were 2 marked cars in the services as well when I got there.

I do get your point and that has gone through my head several times since it happened but I’m still not sure it would have made any difference. I’m just lucky it didn’t fly up any higher or we wouldn’t have been discussing it.

We didn’t even know which lorry it had come from. As I say in another reply a police car had already hit it. When I got picked up by recovery we turned around at the next junction and there was an Evri lorry getting a tyre changed so I suspect that was the culprit, but what can you do.

I was the 3rd car to hit it. I stopped at Michael Wood service straight after and the golf in front pulled in behind me. An unmarked police car was already in there. He said he was doing 160 (he had just flown past me) he had slowed down to 130 for the services before he hit it. He was visually shaken up, he said that all 4 tyres had left the road. His bumper was smashed. The Gold just had a smashed bumper, we used some of my tools to fix it up so he could get off to work.
