Britcar 24: Give A Cheer For Number 86

Cheer on some plucky PHers (and do your bit for chari-dee) this weekend at Silverstone

---

To quote Finley Quaye (and let's be honest, that's something you should do every day), the sun is shining and the weather is sweet.

It is, in short, absolutely perfect weather for this weekend's Britcar 24-hour race.

And if you're heading down there (whether you're part of the PH campsite, attending the Porsche Experience Centre Sunday Service, or both or neither), then we suggest you give more than the odd whoop and holler to PHer Jim Cameron (aka Tankslider) in the No. 86 Mazda MX-5.

Major Jim has, with the invaluable help of Mazda (for it is their car), has put together a team to contest the Britcar 24 ('dodging Moslers', in Tankslider's own words) in support of various British Armed Forces Charities.

And the secret weapon? Major Jim's company motor:

We joke. Apparently it's this, a very large fuel tank:

If you want to show support beyond merely shouting 'go on, number 86!', then have a little visit to The Forces MX-5's fundraising site or text Race24 £5 to 70070.

Good luck at the weekend, chaps - and remember not to take Copse flat...

Good luck to the guys!

BUT who is responsible for the shocking quote in the first paragraph about Finlay Quaye. It was BOB MARLEY who sang "the sun is shining and the weather is sweet." in 1971 before Finlay Quaye was even born.
