Matt,

Thats a great pic of the winning car, I think that probably Ben Jacques at the wheel. We seem to have done very well for photos, found loads on the net. Often you only get the Mosler/Viper jobs but photographers seem to have taken a liking to our little green things.

The 2nd pic is of the Top Gear car which was driven my Messrs Clarkson, May & Hammond as well as The Stig (there was actually two to share the load, never seen at the same time of course, one was Phil Keen, don't know who the other one was). The other side of the car said sponsored by PENISTON Oils ... guess which particular part of that you saw when the door was open :)

AFAIK this will form a 25min segment of a Top Gear show to be aired in November.

Thanks for all the replies guys, sorry to be a bit quite since but have been working and catching up. I did take a little bit of camcorder footage around the pits and on the pitwall which I posted on Youtube here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcG6wKZIA-w

Some shots of the repaired 68 car and some drive by's from the pitwall, despite the noise regs (102Db) there was some lovely sounding cars there.
