Deal! I must try a trackday in a proper car once. Daily driving at 9/10s must pay off somehow . . .

I'm done.

Who's considering Spa6 2010?


Prepping the big Webers on the GS Vette for the 6 Hrs race.


I think this is the HEM6 office.


Not sharp but this is what a Ford GT office looks like.


Ford GT.

Cheers, A.

Shown in the pic is a Chevron B8 being driven by a good friend of mine, overtaking a Lola Aston at Brands in 1981, part of the then Historic GT series.

B8's had 220bhp BMW engines, and weighed a mere 580kg whereas his later B16 produced 300bhp . In the UK and European series he was up against legendary drivers like Didier Pironi, Stirling Moss, Richard Attwood, Alain Prost and many others. Somewhere along the line his own companies advertising (Apollo Race Wear, all over the car) became a nice tax write down since the car was promoting the companys wares in a very direct way whilst allowing him to enjoy the racing.

Check. Found when Googling for Sunbeam Tiger LM - that Beighton fastback appeared in my Spa6 '06 thread - and Andrews V8 was in it.

Seemend a good one to post and warm up attention for the forthcoming 6.

Coffee friday morning, around 10 me thinks.

If that doesn't put one in the mood for Spa6 I don't know what can!
I saw the series that seems to be trailer for, it followed that same bunch of racers all around the world to various race meets, lucky buggers!
