Abingdon Carnival this weekend, Sprint/Autosolo on Saturday and Rally Stage on Sunday. Spectators are allowed and it is being done for charity.

I'm also at Curborough on Sunday so if you in either area and want to pop in come and say hello.

Great day at the CAR-nival. They have raised £280000 in the last 21 years for charity from this event.

I was 3rd overall with a combined time of 92.26 secs over the two courses. I was 3.5 secs faster than I was last year.

Video of my fastest run in Timed 2 which was 1.7 secs faster than my Timed 1 time.

Car was working very well.

3.5 secs quicker...that's huge.Were others faster too as a yardstick?

The datalogger over-reads the rpm by around 600-800rpm. Don't know why but it does.

I was 1.7 secs faster on both courses compared with last year and this was not something others where doing. 3rd overall was a big thing for me. I beat a number of single seaters including some quick ones.

The only thing that beat me was a double driven ex F3000 car. I beat a number of Single Seaters...pretty chuffed.
