2 safety car laps and the safety car pulls in and we go green. My confidence in these wet conditions is not as high as Glenn’s. I am perfectly happy but not Glenn happy! We have 15 or so minutes of the race left and our little car is doing great. Because we are now racing I realise we must be doing quite well so I take no risks by going around people in Gerrards. I don’t feel I know sufficiently what would happen on the outer edge of the track if I tried it and if it goes wrong, it would be big. I only overtake on the inside at the exit of Gerrards where I get a run on the car in front or at the Hairpin where it is really easy to out brake others. And it is a busy time passing people. Most satisfying when you keep passing Porsche 944 turbo’s who claim to have 230 bhp! Our soft set up works a treat. To help give an idea of how wet it is and how unsettled this makes the grid, our friend Stuart in a 911 Carrera who so far this year has always been in the top 3 is nowhere and finishes the day 16th.

However the race is over all too soon and as Glenn’s next race is within 10 minutes of this one so it is panic mode to get him refuelled and back to the grid in time.

Still no idea how we did but eventually the results are published and amazingly we have come 3rd overall with 27 finishers! Wow! And only 4.75 seconds behind the race winner. I think that the way Glenn was driving, had he done the race solo he may well have won it. It was his day. Respect to the Rain Master!
