Rounds 6 & 7 - Lotus & Caterham Seven Speed Championship 2024

For the first time the weekend had a championship round on both days. Saturday was the better day of the weekend weather-wise, as there were more sunny intervals, but only up to 20 degrees. Sunday was a cold day with few sunny intervals and a cold wind blowing through the paddock with the temperature only around 16 degrees. It was lovely to see Chris's cousin Gordon and his son Graham who joined us on Saturday and enjoyed the day's racing.
