Yes JC will be great to see you , next is Spa , then Le Mans classic with an 80 car entry , as it is a full FIA series , sadly the regs include crack testing suspension etc etc so been a bit of work for Macca. Can have a drive over for the next events in the new Touring

Yes it is a full FIA race series , of 5 races in Europe . Big grids so should be a bit of fun but full Int licences need B for the Prototypes .

Gutted i cant do the series mate ,int c licence sorted as well.May be i will have to come along as team manager again
I thought the regs for crack testing was only for the prototypes,did you get fuel tank sorted.

Thanks Hunter. Love watching the endurance cars as have gone off F1 completely in recent years. Looks like most of the sessions/races are 30-45 minutes which is a bit like the goodwood format I guess, maybe a stretch to compare the two. Anyone I’m now looking into attending - as a spectator of course!

No sadly all needed although steering rack on 996 is not needed as sealed part ...... so lot more effort but will get it all done .Yes always good to have you along Yellow ..... some nice events , and big fields

Mrs Digga and I went to a few of the F1 races, back in the heady days of the V10s and they were utterly spectacular but, TBH, even back then, I think I had as much enjoyment out of watching the old TVR Tuscans battle it out, or the British GT series - anyone else remember the Blue Coral Porsches?
