Ginettas Classic racing

[geeeman]

this saturday 15th at silverstone there is a large HSCC meeting.
If you wana see classic Ginettas on the track, this is a good meet.
In the historic roadsports there will be 3 Ginetta G4s running, and Dave Randall with a chance of outright win again.
The Guards Trophy has the Dodd Ginetta G16, which has also been winning outright this season...over the Chevrons etc
I'll hopefully be there will take some pics

make that 4 Ginettas in the roadsports event, a G15 is entered too..

[geeeman]

Dave Randall 2nd overall from a field of 40+cars, 2nd to Morgan +8..
his lap times were also quicker than most of the cars in the GT race and the elan 26rs in the Guards trophy...!
Dodds G16 3rd overall in guards trophy, splitting the 7 or 8 chevron B8s

[geeeman]

in a word 'No'

[geeeman]

hmm, i think its more of a definite NO unfortunately

the heritage events were organised by Spadge and even in in the first year where a whole series was promised, i think only 2 races happened.

Now there is no mention of any more Heritage races and especially unlikely since he has now left GH

Best bet is Hscc for classic Ginettas or SRGT & Semsec for newer/Dare

[geeeman]

hscc races are 20mins.
cscc are all 40mins with compulsory pit/driver change

the main prob with cscc is the regs are very loose (which can be a good or bad thing!)
The G4s do really well (and often win) in HSCC as the cars all have to adhere to the strict regs regarding engine/box and chassis mods.

As my car is v original i want to keep it that way, and so HSCC is the better option for me. The engine has to be kept pretty much at 1500cc, no LSD allowed etc
-to be competitive/win in the CSCC races, G4 may be better off with twin-can, IRS, LSD, which adds to the costs

races in the cscc work out near to double the cost of hscc (but they are double the length ofcourse)

[geeeman]

Yes, so the g4 will run in the up to 2 litre Race. Sounds good, and should be competitive as you say

Just spotted this pic taken at testing Donington... Which G10 is this??

[geeeman]

just like the good 'ol days!
chasing down the low drag Etype

[geeeman]

[geeeman]

[geeeman]

[geeeman]

[geeeman]

Any Ginettas planning to do this sprint..?

it clashes with prescott weekend

Ive seen period pics of G12s tearing around the crystal palace track

i think it re-opened last year for the first time since its closure. Should be fun in the G4
