On this rare moist Members’ Meeting morning we saw the fantastic Gerry Marshall Trophy Group 1 touring cars taking to the circuit to get in some practice for this evening’s hour-long race into the dusk.

Video: Chris Ward gets seriously sideways in his SD1
Of course posting quick times in the wet is an entirely different ball game. In a chase between the Patrick Motorport Rover SD1 and a Mini 1275 GT, in these conditions, the Rover’s weight is definitely a handicap. Some creative driving is required, with the Chris Ward steering out the side window, using that epic V8 power to keep it pointing toward the inside. Epic car control! More of this in the full race this evening, please!
