the team 'peter best insurance - team mg' once again finished 2nd in class.

we were in the highest class, class D, for cars over 2ltr running slicks, even though only 2 drivers ran slicks.

we finished somewhere in the 30's on scratch and handicap at the end of the race, but considering there was 70teams on the grid and some pretty exotic machinery, it's not shabby for a bunch of aging rovers!!!

most impressive was our climb from 55th on handicap up to 20 by 4h30mins and a class lead of 4m30secs.
we finished within a minute of a class win, with hindsight and a few minor tweaks to our operation we perhaps could have made the win, but it wasn't to be. we'd all be smart arses with hindsight!!!

i'm sure howard has some ards course dates over xmas phil.
