Watching RGB racing at Donnington

Well I had a very interesting day at Donnington today, I had a good chat with several of the RGB boys and the racing was very entertaining…. these things are so fast!
Tim Harmer won the RGB race yesterday by a country mile in his Genesis EVO Mk II, after qualifying in pole position with a time 2.4 secs clear of the field and an AVERAGE speed of 90+ Mph, Blimey! The start was quite interesting as Tim put Andy Charlesly on the grass as Andy tried to sneak up the inside from the second row to steal the line for the first corner. By contrast the other Genesis driven by Doug, a novice driver who didn’t know the track came dead last (I think, I apologise If I’ve got that wrong) so they book-ended the field. There was one fab moment when Harmer lapped the second Genesis right in front of the main grandstand with not another car in sight, they could have been first and second! It had to be the one lap when I was chatting to Duncan and hadn’t got the camera ready so I didn’t get a pic Still it was an interesting day with sleet, hail, torrential rain, lightning andthe RGB boys went out 2 hrs late, having been sat in the holding area for anhour. They must have been frozen. The RGB boys stayed on the track very nicely given the poor conditions. The new A048rs were described by Harmer as “Erm very interesting” in the wet. A top day and it was nice to meet some of the other drivers in RGB
