Congrats. Guess it should he noted that out of the top three, you still come second despite competing in the least number of events? And whilst I don't understand the scoring system, you presumably have managed some decent times/scores in the 9 events you completed. That plus the return of the pesky weasel that won't leave you be suggests (to the non-initiated) that maybe your not that far away from Len either? Okay, admittedly making up that last bit of time most likely comes with a significant price tag! So an excellent result all round! -

I’ve made an adapter plate for my conventional engine stand so it holds a six sideways like that. More stable and more convenient. -

The first RBRR that took on a charitable basis was in 1990, the event raising £13.5K that time for the British Heart Foundation and since then has gone on to raise a further £877K for other UK Charities, the highest amount being £102K for the Motor Neurone Disease Assoc. in 2021. At present this year's RBRR charity amount is circa £80K. The most pleasing fact being that 95% of the entrants have raised money, this is unusual. Must admit I was blown away (literally) by the way the crews battled through Storm Amy, the majority of retirements being due to catastrophic engine/transmission failures. The RBRR team are already thinking about the 2027 event and hope to make some good evolutionary changes.
