Douglas McLay racing sprung into action after a long lay off since April at the beginning of July for Round 8 of the Monoposto Championship. We were blessed with a glorious day, and all the admin and organisational formalities went off without incident, which resuloted in a stress free day! No worries about tyres etc, it was slicks all the way!
Douglas was supported as ever by Peter, who drove up from Bicester for the day, and by 930 we were signed on, scrutineered and ready for action.
Practice was uneventfull - in fact a bit too uneventful, as Dougals didnt manage a very exciting time, and ended up well down the class.
Race was little better. A decent start saw Douglas make up a couple of class places in the first lap, and soon found himself behind Geoff Cowell in his M1000 car. Unfortunately despite breathing down his neck for the whole race Geoff didnt make a mistake, and after trying a couple of overtaking lunges Douglas was still unable to get by. The times were also disappointing, but being stuck behind a slightly slower car probably accounts for that!
Another long lay off until we tackle the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit on 20/21 August!
Pressing Geoff to no avail!
