I am told the flag "will have to go!" (until the day)

We used to sell 16 ft. telescopic flag poles, When A&J were at Lancaster and involved with Formula Student. I gave them one to use at Silverstone on race day.

As expected it was "liberated" most nights, which meant a certain amount of "re-liberating" after a lot of negotiating or put another way Pissed and more Pissed a bit of Feed Me and one or two Vomits but in the main alot of Cool... How on earth they
managed to complete each of the three days involved. Jade recons Alex got on average three hours a night Shocked

He looks ropey here and this was after the first night. Just as well Marie did not come Smile


Surfaces after a busy night.


Togged up and ready to go.


Last minute debrief before the circuit test - (To make sure the car
and driver could stand the pace.)

Behind the small Lancaster team a couple of the French team anxiously
watch there effort head off to the start point.

Andrew (younger brother) just completing first year of three year engine design, sponcered by Jaguar, from sctratch for 1914 Birmingham entry for Formula Student.

When you see these events from these levels one realises the amount of money that is spent and is available for R&D.


But come the event we can find the flag for it.
