[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

thank you, yes I try to include as much as I can, however, I do make regular weekly update videos for our patrons, you should check it out, its a bit like our second channel, there are plenty of videos there that are free to view even if you are not a patron

[@jerseytim100]

Well done Kevin. Fantastic event and hopefully that’s the dnf out the way. See you there next year or maybe jersey as your car would be great in the lanes.

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and yes Jersey is on the bucket list so I am hoping 2023 :) - that will give me time to save up and work out the logistics :)

[@CooperSTraveller]

Great video Kev. Disappointing I’m sure with a DNF but it’s all part of the adventure. Glad you both enjoyed your first official rally and looking forward to seeing how you get on with the next one. You’ll be entering the Circuit of Ireland in no time 😎

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

cheers mate, yea we both loved it and can't wait to have a go at another one - when we can afford it ovs :)

[@martinandersson1049]

Nevermind the dnf. Congratulations to your first event with the mini. It must be amazing to do this togheter with your wife! Just a tip for the future with your fuel pump. I always add a small touch of 2 stroke oil, when filling up my race mini with 101 octane fuel, to help lubricate the pump. I'm thinking it would not do any harm doing that with regular fuel aswell. just to be on the safe side of a fuel pump failure.

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

thank you very much and wow that's a top tip - thank you

[@patrickcallaghan1714]

That was awesome, I'm jealous, lol. It doesn't matter about the result as long as you both had a good time !!!

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

Thanks 👍 that's the ethos of the Gentlemen's motor racing team, enjoy first and you will always be a winner
