“While we were out for the first practice, someone's come into our pit in a grey or black hoodie and has stolen a set of rear uprights that were ready to go into Zane's car,” said AIM team boss Andre Morse.

“Therefore we won't be doing this session and we don't know if we'll be doing the weekend at this point in time.

“So, we need the parts, we're offering a reward.

“We've been up and down the back of the pits, speaking to everyone in the campsite, everyone's keeping an eye out, but without those rear uprights, we don't know if we'll make the grid tomorrow.

We are due to get a partial eclipse of about 3% at about 7.52pm. ...the sun is due to set at 7.55pm today :rolleyes:

Edit - just double checked and i think i'm just too far east to see anything. :irked::cool:
