Thanks for the positive comments everyone. The Classic Endurance Racing Series always provides large grids of some of the best sports racing cars ever made (IMHO). It was great to see the Matra and Porsche 935 Kremer racing. First time I have seen a 935K on the track. The little Lotus Elan was great to watch though - the epitomy of the lightweight small engined sportscar. A philosophy that Lotus has kept true to, and other manufacturers are beginning to see the benefits of!

I have no problems with being corrected on that one Chris, I was taking a gamble on wether it was a MkI or MkII. Thanks for your comments ;)
