This is James in action, on the track, after I gave him a few tips. He’s going down the pit straight after the chicane.

Here I am trying out a Tecno Formula 3. I really like this car, but I could do with a cushion.

A kind gentleman lent me his Lotus 23, but I found it a bit big, so I guess it’s back to the Tecno.

I’m on the pit counter, working out the timing until lunch. Behind me is the Lotus 23, which I tried earlier.
