Pole, Fastest Lap...

RACE WIN! :-) Lights to flag victory and I'm very happy! Yesterday in testing, my fastest lap was 0.01s off the lap record - in very hot conditions - and today it was even warmer! I'm so happy! Thanks for all your support... :o)))))) -- Rob Swindells 3rd equal in Goldline Bearing FFord Championship (18 Points); 9 points behind Championship Leader (as of round 4 of 6) "If you're a great driver, you will get through.

GREAT JOB ROB! You keep that up and kick some serious ass for all of us! Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited

Well done, I understand is was a Jim Russell event. As you probably know I attended the school last year, when it was still at Donington. Was the chief instructor Mark still there? And what about Thomas Erdos? Or any other instructor? I drove a Vauxhall Jr then, now I test a Formula Ford now and then.

Way to go Rob!! A bottle of the bubbly stuff for ya'!

Yep - Mark Armstrong. He's a good bloke, though he did tell me off a couple of times :) > Well done, I understand is was a Jim Russell event.

THANKYOU! :) One of the onlookers was none other than 'Prodrive' boss, Dave Richards, who runs the Subaru World Rally team, and also ran Benetton last year and the end of 1997. His son was at the Jim Russell School all week, and was in the course race. He finished 3rd, I think. > :) -- Rob Swindells 3rd equal in Goldline Bearing FFord Championship (18 Points); 9 points behind Championship Leader (as of round 4 of 6) "If you're a great driver, you will get through.

I can see it now - "I'd just like to thanks the team, they've done a great job, all weekend, the sponsors blah, blah and Dave Keammer and Goeff Crammond, who did a great job... blah" :o) > Congrats, Rob!
