Having just read the regs - I might be persuaded - 6 team entrants would give a c. £250 entry fee for an hours racing each. mmmmmm scratchchin Be good to get 6 Tuscans out! biggrin

I havent done it for a couple of year but I did team manage it last year, and we had a cracker. we were on for the win, but on our last driver change the safety car came out just after we had entered the pit lane, and we got held at the pit lane exit loosing the best part of a lap, and dropping to 4th!!! on handicap.


The handicappers did a cracking job there were 6 teams trading the top spot all the way through the race ( out of about 70 teams)

I either fancy doing it with a team of tuscans or a mix of tuscans and the midget boys..

to maximise track time and minimise time in the pits you ideally want a car that can run for an hour but I dont think a tuscan can manage much more than 30 mins on a standard tank. might be worth testing that somewhere.


For the cost per car and a chance to run on the full GP circuit ( it says historic but it did last year and it ended up being the new gp) or the historic that uses bridge rather than the new loop is almost a no brainer.

Mine could do it, Tims too - Perrys and i belive Hui is having a "proper" tank in it.

However, I'm doing quite alot in October already!

Thinking about it, Perry's DOES have a 60L tank, but that is only 20mins running!!!! eek
