Well what can I say? After working hard with Adrian to get the best result we could on the Dukeries we were let down by..... you've guessed it..... a driveshaft!
Conditions were damp to be polite and we suffered from a severe lack of traction right up to our retirement on the second running of Sherwood Pines. having said that we were pleased with our performance, especially as this was Adrian's first event on very wet gravel. The pacenotes worked OK and we were really enjoying ourselves which makes the retirement even more frustrating than any of the others this year!
The disappointment of another retirement was tempered by the knowledge that this was our last event in the Escort and that (as of today) a new car will be taking the Escort's place.
I'm looking forward to the new car and can't wait for our first test.
