Bertie has been in the Citroenian several times although not for about 10 years.

As for pics, the races are on Motors TV and the BX usually gets a few mentions as it is a bit quirky. That, and it is slow enough to keep in focus through the bends. :lol:

www.digitexvideo.co.uk/webtv/ should take you to old Motors TV progs. In the featured area go to page 2 "Intermarques, QMN,....Final". We are in 2nd race shown, about 10-15 mins in.

Brands Hatch GP circuit Sunday. Two unopposed class wins gave Bertie the Motorsport News Modified Saloons 2015 class E championship. Probably time to move on to another race championship as 2013 3rd, 2014 2nd and now the title. :D

Final races last weekend saw Bertie take a 3rd and a 2nd in class. The additional points move us up to a top ten championship finish overall to go with the class title.

Good work! Need to come and watch Bertie in action next time you're at a circuit close(ish) to me.

Been out playing with the Special Saloons at Silverstone. They are very quick. Trailed home 14th in the first race 27 seconds behind a very nicely turned out Porsche 930 Turbo. Race 2 went one better to claim 13th behind a fantastic looking space framed Davrian Imp.

Next stop Brands Hatch on June 5th.
