Bad Luck Continues for Team Jedi Racing at Oulton Park!

22 July 2004

Team Jedi Racing failed to finish either race at Oulton Park due to a puncture and broken water hose fastening.

The team had regular Driver Frazer Corbyn back after Ian Stinton had stood in for him at Castle Coombe and were optimistic that they were in for a better weekend. But the bad luck that had dogged the Castle Coombe weekend was still very much with them.

Rob Horsfield started the Saturday race, but managed only 8 laps before a puncture caused him to loose control and beech the car in a gravel trap.

Frazer Corbyn faired little better on Sunday. He managed ten laps and was 8th in class when a water-hose fastening clip failed. The car lost all its cooling water and was forced to retire.

"It was definitely the most frustrating weekends racing I have ever had!" said Rob Horsfield, "We had 2 very small failures which ended both races."

The Teams next outing is at the "Brunty or Bust" Lotus Owners Club charity day on the 31st July. It takes place at the Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome. Team Jedi will be giving passenger rides in the Lotus to raise money for charity. They will also have support on the day from ex-page 3 girl Jakki Degg.
