British GT (GT3) Thruxton 29/05/2005

Disappointing weekend at Thruxton for Adcock/Wood

There was a new look to the driver line-up for the Hampshire double header, with Nick Adcock (right) joining Steve (Stuart being unavailable to drive owing to other commitments). 

Nick of course is no stranger to the Porsche, he shared the car with Stuart at the GT Festival in Bahrain last November.   

Again though the hectic schedule would play a part. The car just didn’t feel right around the bumpy but awesomely quick circuit. 

  Confidence is a big factor here and a wayward 911 isn’t the tool to inspire that.   

“We can’t find a set-up we’re happy with,” indicated Steve Wood.   

The net result was an off the pace Porsche and a pair of DNFs, bitterly disappointing for all concerned, just a tired and reflective journey back home remaining, ahead of a four week break in the Championship.   

The Eurotech / CBT boys though don’t stay down for long – the big grins will be back at the most popular race meeting of the season, at Wiltshire’s lovely Castle Combe circuit at the end of June.
