It’s been a scruffy week in my head, 50-odd days non stop working, end of racing and the come down from the years racing culmination (credit to Chris Harris for calling that one) and almost, almost losing faith in Dog altogether. It’s been tough, but today I’ve done nothing at all…>

Started 30th overall and 5th in class, after 7 hours 15th overall and 3rd in class. Mega stints from all three drivers, looks like some damp/wet conditions today which may play into our hands. But first, we must finish…

So GSF parts have come good this year, they have sponsored the racePanda, given us a butt-load of spares and paid for a Mission Motorsport beneficiary to race in the (blatantly/biased) best car ever. What a machine!

I went on a course this week for improving time management in the garage, helpful and insightful. One of the suggested things was getting customers to pre-authorise a set amount for additional work. It might benefit some, but we can’t even get our customers to bring cars in with fuel 😂
