[Donunder]

Bleary eyes this morning Peter.

I lasted until about 2.30. The D-type practice was superb and I was happy when the fire on the Steve Soper GT40 extinguished itself. Beautiful weather, beautiful cars.

I was talking to someone the other day about how spectating at motor racing makes you feel -- excited, nervous, apprehensive, pumped. Watching the Revival, with its cars, its spectators, its commentary, I feel wistful for a time long gone, but overall, I feel happy. Happy that someone like Lord March has the passion to organise such a spectacle, and happy that there are sufficient people in the world prepared to maintain and drive these wonderful cars that still look superb after all these years (the D-types are sixty years old, the GT40s fifty), go like stink, and are being driven with the skill and verve they deserve. All this on an historically significant race circuit and in a setting that on a sunny autumn day in the south of England, is as pretty a scene as you could wish for.

Two more days --or late nights-- to go!!
