Way to Many different cars to name but oldest car being about 1927 Bugatti Type 35c and a 1927 Lancia Meadows to early 1990s for Historic Touring cars. The 5LT Touring Car Demo had cars from 1987 to 2001. On Friday I was placed at post 6.0 Siberia on my own coms and flags this was due to not as many Marshals able to do Fridays, today was Morning Practice and afternoon Qualifying starting at 9am and finish at about 5pm. The day was overcast and we had some light showers for about 1 1/2hrs in the middle of the day and a windy afternoon the temp was low 20s. Only had one report to fill out which was for passing under red.
