As expected, I didn't race at Oulton, but not because of our late entry. The team were hoping to use the test session which was definitely available, so it made sense for Brett to do the whole session and try and figure out what was going on with the car. As it happened, he only got in two laps before it broke down, so I didn't miss out on much, but he did get to race and, as has become a theme, was suffering from a terminal lack of power. In light of the car's performance, we're taking a back seat, saving some budget for next year, the plan now being to do one more round at Silverstone in September. Silverstone was the circuit I was supposed to finish my 2006 Jedi season at, but the event got moved to Rockingham at the last minute, so it'll be nice to finally race there. It's also our local track so the one we were planning to get people along to.

The upside to all this was that, being free on the weekend of the 11-13th June, I was able to make the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans for the 24 hours. Filling the passenger seat in the boss' Porsche (which had also become available at the last minute to a client dropping out), we headed down to la Sarthe with my Martini-esque livery design glowing its lime green and getting more than a few stares.

We camped with the nice folks at White Rabbit Racing for the second year running with a big-screen viewing of the awesome Audi move Truth In 24 to get us all in the mood. The event, as is often the way, went the way of Audi with a 1-2-3 for the awesome R15 Plus, the challenging Peugeots (and unfortunately the Aston Martin Lolas) all blowing up some way short of the finish. A top weekend to soften the disappointment that this year's racing seems to be fizzling out. Fingers crossed for a return to the Jedi next season...
