I was lucky to earn my driver's privileges on the F1 last weekend at Summit Point as it came in handy this weekend. However as Steve said when he drove my rig at Loudon, vintage and F1 both have 2 people and 3 wheels but are very much different beasts. Ewan and I changed places for the Sunday practice. I believe it was his first time as a passenger on a vintage rig - he looked like he had a workout. It was a bonus to get the lap record on Saturday with Ewan driving. Ewan could not race Sunday afternoon and I asked Colin to passenger. No practice together but we did well for a new team. Thanks Colin - I sympathized watching you make the turn 5-6-7 transitions! Colin said I did not scare him once, either I was not going fast enough or he did not look behind!
Sorry for the early braking on Sunday but the mechanic did not set the brakes to suit me and I thought they were not there!
