Very interesting read Pete. Could do with some more of the same. Not often you get a behind-the-scenes look at how the teams work with that class of car.
Nice one

Hard work aint it Pete, but worth every minute (hour at times) when it all goes well, but its soul destroying when you've worked for 9 hours solid got 3 hours sleep then go out the following morning and something goes wrong
I did a season on Lindsay Duechar's TMD in 2005, it is hard but i think i'll be back with him later this year when he gets his new car finished,

Yes the same Harry, but real name is Brian Palmer. We christened him Harry Palmer after the Michael Cane film, and the name has stuck ever since.
Please give my regards next time you see him, ask him to give me a call as well.
Cheers,
Mark . . .
