While some were lucky to make the race at all.
The Bizzarini lost its exhaust and the ground shook from the sound of the mighty 5.3 litre engine.

| There was an aircraft theme to the start of the 2008 Tour Britannia, with signing on and the official start taking place at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridge. |

Cars and aircraft from the past 100 years mixed in the sunshine. |

However, it was not all 'plane' sailing for the first competitive day of the event on Tuesday. |
|
| The first venue, Snetterton race circuit, was very wet when the Tour arrived early on Tuesday morning. |
|
|
|
|
Some people were very competitive in the wet conditions,
with the Mini leading the field in the first race. While some were lucky to make the race at all. |

At Bruntingthorpe, we were back to the aircraft theme. |

By day 3 it was raining again! | |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The rain just kept coming... |
|
|
|
|
and the Mini kept going to win the race at Oulton Park. |

|
|
The moment the earth shook! The Bizzarini lost its exhaust and the ground shook from the sound of the mighty 5.3 litre engine. |

The tight confines of Cholmondeley woods could not tame the Bizzarini |

|
No one can accuse the drivers of not trying! | |

The peace and quiet of the English country village! |
