Last race in my Elan

[batfish]

Don't usually put links in of my racing as don't claim to be a race driver but as it was my last race with the car now for sale will put these in for your amusement. Hoped to have a good blast on the Silverstone GP track but the weather was not too good.

Qualifying was like on a lake and the race although sunny felt like driving on an ice rink.

I immediately note very efficient wipers ... how did you managed that ?

[batfish]

Nothing special, just all new wiper parts when I put the car together.

Fantastic Andy, enjoy your retirement from Elan racing!

Andy,

Thanks for you your video. Great stuff.

You were struggling to find grip even on drying parts of the track during the race - were you having trouble getting some heat into the tyres? I use(d) Advans when I was still racing in HRS, I recall they weren't great when the track was soaking, but acceptable on a damp track.

Andy.

Thanks for sharing your races Andy,
Not everyone can tell "I raced my Elan..."
Personally, I would have liked but could never face the costs.
You enjoyed that enough to be at the next race, that was the essential thing.
Have a good sale.
Christian.

Thanks all for the kind replies.
Dunlop M historic tyres are not the best in the wet, they move about even in dry conditions,

Nice first lap.
I never regret the heated screen, screen blower and intermittent wipe!
