    Jay Esterer getting ready to take the McBegg out for practice
    Wally Willmott looking on.The motor ran well and strong, and everything else works fine.
    This comes from Wally:
    We have been making alterations each session trying to get rid of some ‘snap’ over steer it has.
    Work in progress at the moment.

    Looks great Jerry, lap times look good.
    I think the colour is just great. It has the depth of colour that George wanted - but in Begg yellow. Well done Team JayWal!

    How nice it was to have the car run at Hampton Downs, and have Paul Radisich take it for a drive in the afternoon demonstration period.

    Paul was most complementary, saying that it felt like a nice new car, with everything like brakes and steering working well.
    The big problem that we had over the weekend was that the hybrid dry sump system we had fitted would take all the oil and not return it when the motor was running above 5500rpm. Anything less than that and it worked fine with no problems.
    The other issue was that it was getting unsettled at the top of the rise of turn 3 and a couple of times Jay lost it when he backed offf on the throttle at that point, and it snapped into oversteer - scaring the crap out of him.
    Nothing that can't be sorted, and both he and Paul think that it will develop into a nice beast once we tame it.
