Sorry to hear about the other stuff, that's shocking. Glad family is OK, things will get better.
Tim. Hi Tim i intend to be at the Growl even if i cannot drive myself so hopefully you can make it? Out of curiosity how do you find the Griff compared to your 4.5 AJP? I have several friends with 4.5 but none have owned a Griff prior? Your car certainly looks a peach

Thanks mate, it will take alot more than recent events to stop me being on that trip! Police came round yesterday and took statements so now just due process and put my faith in the CPS  Nice officer & turns out the officer who treated us badly is ex-traffic! Now there's a surprise!!!!

Nice looking power curve, but what was the rear wheel horsepower?
I've just done two days on track at Spa with RMA. What is this Spa/Ring event that people keep mentioning?

A private day at the ring[no numpties] followed by two consecutive days at Spa! Trackday Nirvania  Rear wheel would be about 15% off i think happy to be corrected by those more in the know.

That's what I was getting at - what correction factor was used? Coincidentally, I have a yellow LS 480 Griff in build at the moment, but at Sportmotive rather than Topcats, so interested to know your measured RWHP without fudge factor.
So I assume you are talking about the Destination Nurburgring event in Oct? Or is it something so secret that you cannot say?! You will need good brakes at Spa if you are using all your power down to the end of Kemmel Straight. I had 14" StopTech 6 pots getting pretty fried.

Hi Paul, I think most of us booked through Circuit Days for Spa Tue 9th/Wed 10th October. Wednesday is pretty full I think, but if you can get to talk to Nadine at Circuit Days, she might fit you in....
I don;t know whether it's a completely Circuit Days only event, or shared with CD taking a number of slots, so there might be other organisers booking cars into SPA that day aswell, maybe ??? But obviously Circuit Days are ATDO approved for insurance purposes...

The ring is organised by destination Nurburgring and they have block booked many of the spaces at Spa on Tuesday but i think some spaces left on the wednesday. Amazon put a post on the cerbera forum saying it was all booked up! But with the sort of collateral damage you can get at the ring and the usual lunch time leavers at Spa i'm sure there will be spaces! Paul hear your doing really well giving some of the established boys a run for there money  I'm expecting a class b win so keep it up! Would be good to see you and the Sag at Spa reckon we could raise a few eyebrows down the Kemmel straight  No excuses now your a professional racing driver, I'm still in my jeans and Nikes but loving it all the same.

I am racing a little shopping cart (admittedly with full flat floor aero and lots of fancy bits) in Britcar Production class two. Presently 2nd in class and 4th overall in the championship with three podiums (a 1st 2nd and 3rd) out of three races - Topcats running the car for us. Next race Brands this weekend and then Oulton Park in another three weeks time.

Christian,
I've seen your car at Topcats and it looks like a fantasy car. Lovely job and a treat for the motoring public. You may even allow yourself a knowing smile.
