Yep, the car died coming to the grid, so with one hand in the air and the other fiddling with the switches I tried to get the car going but the power had gone. As Alan says the lead fell out of the Anderson plug which fell into 3 pieces and shorted out. Strange that the battery actually survived and didn't go up in smoke

It was not a nice feeling to be sat on the grid with no power and the 5 second board come out. I stretched my hand as high in the air as possible and watched the mirror in great trepidation. However Chris Drake directly behind me and the others all went round me - phew! The marshalls were very bemused that the start went ahead as they saw the delayed start board about to come out but the start happened anyway. All's well that ends well I guess, but I'd have been a little dismayed if I'd been collected!

Sorry for the guys that got caught up in the race 2 fracas, I hope all is well and mendable.

I guess everything is mendable in the end Graham, it's just a question of how long. Having gazed at the chassis damage, I have the option of using our Delta for Silverstone looming larger in my mind. The question then will be, shall I be a historics man or stay loyal to URS??

Ah Ha I heard you say at the weekend that the Delta was the best car you have driven Bob.
