Hi Don,

Sorry for delay in getting back to you about the photos but New Year 
got in the way!

TFM-GT did not have the best of years racing in 2002. They did not 
enter all of the races, and had a "paying" driver in a few rounds who 
was not really in the same class as Gerry Taylor and Paul Stephens.

In the 1st race at Brands Hatch the bonnet came off and put the car out 
of the race. Their second car came 2nd or 3rd in class. There were only 
a few rounds where both cars were entered.

In the other rounds a electrical gremlin caused a number of problems 
and was believed to be in the loom its self. Not until late in the 
season the engine was switched between chassis and the fault reoccured 
the problem was hopefully solved, believed to be the alternator. In the 
final Friday practice secession of the season the engine was "buzzed" 
and they never managed to check if the problem had gone.

The car finished in 3rd place again in class at Castle Combe, but never 
again in the top 3 in class. 2 buzzedd engines and the electrical 
glitch during the season really did not help, along with a sponser 
backing out at the last minute.

I have a video of the TV coverage of the main 5 or 6 races but the car 
is not snown much in the 3 hours! If you wanted a copy I can send you a 
NTSC version, but there is that little of the car!
