"Those Scots seemed to have given us a little souvenir during our time at Le Mans, they must have attached it as it was going in the trailer as we didn't notice when we unloaded at home.
We blew a gearbox at Le Mans. One of our inexperienced drivers accidentally shifted into first from fourth, we were lucky that the engine seemed ok, the gearbox is toast, so the car now has the first "racing" gearbox we used when we first started.
The car has gone through a change a little bit. Gone are our racing springs and shocks, they are outlawed in official Historic events, the cars seems to have to be as standard as possible given the saftey regulations. Lucky we struck up a deal with Koni Shocks, we managed to get new shocks and springs at half the normal price, but only if Koni could have a main sponsor spot on the car. We couldn't say yes fast enough, new suspension is expensive."
