For the second test, we chose Rockingham
Autodrome. This would provide a very different challenge
to Snetterton not only because of the rain the morning
but also because of the very different demands this
would place on our tyres and chassis.

Soon the weather picked up so that our
drivers could start to push the car on the banked section.

As usual, our OUMF student support team
was superb, keeping the driver changes and fuel stops
precise and efficient.

 
Again, we managed to get over 2 hours
of track-time. Providing valuable data about driver
styles and chassis set-up. The day ended dramatically
with a broken fan-belt which was luckily spotted early
by test-driver Tim Cotgrove and the Alfa remained un-damaged
and back on the trailer content after a hard days thrashing!

Again, our great thanks to www.bookatrack.com
for a fantastic day. Also to Rich Tonkinson & Steve
Archer our driver patrons, without you guys it wouldn't
be possible for OUMF to take this wonderful car to the
track.
Next stop, competition!!!
