Saturday Night Live, after a day's hard work, it was good to relax and what better way than to wine & dine with your friends. There were plenty of jokes, laughs, toast and empty bottles of Baileys.... And then there was still a race to finish....and what else was suppost to finish.

Les Neuf heures du Vikings
|
For the first time RfH went on tour without its fearless leader. The Aston was ready and the racers - Nick, Henri (guest racer from team Dutch Age Racing) and me - were all fired up. Would we be able to repeat a podium finish as we did in the past visits to Denmark's Frederikssund?.

Aug 21-23 IMCA WORLDS, Centro Modellismo, Les Franquesas (Barcalona), Spain
|
All the uncertenties preceding the 2006 IMCA world championship were easily forgotten once the races started in Les Franquesas, a small town north of Barcelona. The races were good, entertaining and for many the outcome was unsure right until the very last laps.

|
|
The Blue King in Uden has been recurring feature on the LMS calender for many years, and after the inspiring first win of a Corvette in the 2005 finals, no less then half the grid were GT's. ALthough a GT won again, it certainly was not and easy one. The 2006 edition of the Blue King 24hrs was one that had the LMS shaken...not stirred.

LMS R#1 Group C Sprintrace, 2 February 2006, Leeuwarden (Netherlands)
|
|
The 2006 season started with a group C Sprint race on the MRCL Carrera track. This time there were no hand-out Poly tyres, each driver had to make their own. A fact exploited to the full by the Frysian racers who saw their chance to produced some neat "trick" tyres for all their club drivers. As a result they almost claimed the complete podium.
