Well I went along to see the Mg's racing at Brands Hatch yesterday, which I must say was some great racing. Young Jack Goff really put his car through its paces to catch the race leader and was doing very well indeed, wish him the best of luck for the rest of the season!
Various ZR 190's and 160's blasting around the track and the 190's showed the pesky VVC's the meaning of the word power. The throttle bodied 190's simply ate the 160's for breakfast.
As well as the MG's I was quite simply awestruck by the sight and incredible sound of the historic F1 cars that had reign of the Indy circuit for a good half hour! The noise was incredible, I've never head an F1 car before and to hear them from no more than 30 ft away was amazing, why Brands never really publicised this is beyond me.
Anyhoo, here are some piccies and videos of the F1 cars....
