However, on Friday, my equally old friend Brendan persuaded me to go down to Mondello Park to help him test and bed in his "new" car - a 1970 Mallock M8b/16 with a measly 1.6 litre engine - which he was racing today. Brendan is team principal, chief mechanic, and number one driver for Bus Pass Racing. Once you're over 66 here in Ireland (thanks to goddamm socialism :-) Bless it) you can get free travel on public transport, so the team name is his way of cocking a snoot at the young hard chargers who don't relish getting passed by anyone older than them. I brought the Sony and took some photos when I was down there with him. Anyway, he finished 2nd in the historic sports car category today in his first race only beaten by a very fast 4.6 litre MGB. Here are some images from Friday: all can be seen large. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Sport/Motorsport/2019/Mondello/ Douglas
