I read somewhere this morning that it is Andy Priaulx’s birthday. So while on a picture search I came across this shot from Imola 2005 with Andy on the way to his first World Championship. So happy birthday Andy!

After the deluge on Friday and Saturday at Spa, Sunday morning was much more agreeable, feeling like a summer’s day. So there was an incentive to climb up from an overflowing Eau Rouge to Raidillion, a fine place. An Aston Martin also makes the ascent.

Spa Francorchamps has a reputation for the the wet stuff and this year’s 24 Hours did not disappoint. When the rain came it did so big time, so a tip of the hat to those who kept going through the monsoon conditions, drivers and crew.

In the endless search for the new bestest thing in motorsport, we have been dragged to some strange places, Miami’s financial district was one of the more agreeable, even if totally unsuited to racing.
A car that coulda been a contender was the Rafanelli Ferrari 550 Maranello, never quite fulfilled its potential.

Those of us who attended the Spa 24 Hours last weekend saw plenty of rain, but did it ever get as bad as this, back in 2006 at Mugello? Andrea Bertolini was the Silver Surfer that day.

While everyone is raving about the mighty Bradley Wiggins, quite rightly, there were others who achieved something special, Chris Froome being one.
At speed down the Portsmouth Road.

The Olympic Cycling Time Trials passed by our front door today, so Anne and I went down to have a look. It was quite an occasion.
The Man of the Moment, Bradley Wiggins, did not disappoint, truly come the hour, come the man.
