Gt cup this weekend

[darren no 7]

Hi all we ( tim hood and me )are racing at silverstone this weekend if any one wants to come along , 40 cars on the grid all top gt cars 458s gt3 porkers Lamborghini maclarens etc should be fun !

[teamHOLDENracing]

Have been wondering what you've been up to Darren. Best of luck at Silverstone - if the car holds up and you avoid contact I reckon you'll be right up there despite the dodgy driver pairing

[darren no 7]

Hi andy I'm driving my one and tims in his ! So we are racing each other , I will be happy if I'm in the top ten as I'm about 100 bhp of everyone else

[RetroWheels]

I'll be keeping my eye on TSL Timing tommorow to see how you and Tim get on.
Good Luck Chaps , good to see an AJP mixing it

Not long back from Silverstone, back there again after collecting my son George from schol at 01:00 in the morning after his trip to Normandy..he will want to go to see the racing tomorrow!

...but thought I would post a copy of a thread that I have posted on the Warks & West Mids TVRCC forum.....here it is ...



Not sure if anyone has seen this thread....but I will give you a flavour of todays events...

The day started rather wet for Qualifying....





Tims car developed a misfire...dropped time, they think it is a crank sensor ...ended up 20th on the grid...which is v. frustrating for all concerned...great viewing and access all day long from my perspective...the new garages at Silverstone are great....you get so close to the action



Time was spent trying to establish where the issue arose...one theory was that as lights, blowers and wipers were being used and the crank sensor was not receiving suffient input...parameters were extended over the sensor input in the hope that it would do the trick...

Some nice cars around the pit garages...



Including...Steve's LS Purple Sagaris..
.


And Darren Dowlings orange 4.7 AJP


Then there was the race Tim sat patiently prepping his mindset before the start...




The start went well Tim worked his way through the field upto around 11th then the quickshift stopped working putting him into a spin...ended up finishing 12th ...respectable performance consdieringClapClapClap






He gets to qualify again tomorrow...as will Darren...two TVR's in the mix thenThumbs Up


A few folks have posted following this thread....lets hope tomorrow works out...Just spoke to Ben who works on the team now he reckons they will be working to around 02:00 tomorrow to sort various sensors etc...their ecu chap is still working through diagnosis stuff at the moment...

Hi G,

Yes that should be the case Jonny Greenwood was down there covering that side of things...

[7 TVR]

I followed on TSL and motors but thanks for posting the pictures, the Sags look fantastic and should be great with Darren out today as well!
Was the purple Sag not running?
Good luck guys

Thanks Christian,

They are just images taken with my phone so not best quality...

The purple car was tested on Friday as part of thei preparation for a race at Thruxton, which I think is next weekend?

I spoke with them last night they were still working on Tims car 01:45 this morning sorting the rear diffuser out ...now that's dedication, we are off down there in a minute....fingers crossed!

[schimg]

They have just finished qualifying...Tim 4th on grid!

Darren qualified 16th impressive as first running for him....

Should be interesting this.....off down there now.
