Brilliant!
Was great watching this car on Sunday. The way he took surtees corner was wicked. It was the most impressive car at that corner all day.

Thanks guys, we had a great day at Brands which topped off a great year- never thought we could be so competitive when the entry form was posted back in freezing january!!! The support we have had from everybody has been fantastic and we have made loads of new friends throughout the year- it really has been a great scene to get involved with. Also the car has grabbed some attention which is very flattering considering the really really quick stuff that runs at these events
Also congratulations to Ronnie Amis and team Airtec on their RWD club championship- great to see two Fords on top of the tables!!!
More info, updates and pictures can be found on our facebook page DonnellyRacing- please give it a visit and a 'like' if you are able Hopefully this will help us attract some sponsorship to help defend the title in 2014 --- Bring it on!

ps- Surtees might have looked a bit wild on occasion as i am still learning the track- i was a Brands virgin until Sunday

Thanks Ronnie, it's been great sharing garages at the last few events- we can learn a thing or two from you guys with all your years of experience! Were talking about 2014 already, don't know if we will make it at this stage but hope we can! I need to run a little quicker for a start I reckon
Cheers!!!

Hope so Doug mate, be so worth it just to have you flicking me the V's when I'm going out in the final! That's what gives me that extra corner speed
