Full goodbye report next month

I’m in mourning, as the Ginetta’s time with us has come to an end. In a neat bit of symmetry, we said goodbye at the want2race competition final, where our G40 was one of the cars flung around Bedford Autodrome by the finalists in a nail-biting Olympic pursuit-format showdown.

Fast-lapping engineer Phil Ingram fended off a strikingly talented group of drivers to win this year’s prize, a fully funded drive for the 2016 GRDC season. He’s in for a fantastic year. I’m jealous. Full goodbye report next month.
