SIX HOUR 2008 - 16th May
It was in May 1998 that the Guild of Motor Endurance ran a Six Hour at Mallory Park. On this the 10th anniversary, the Six Hour is back again.
As with all Guild of Motor Endurance events, you will need a hand built sportscar to take part. Something like a Ginetta component car or a Sportster special, a classic Austin Healey or a modern Lotus or TVR.
Each two car team will be representing a specialist sportscar manufacturer, and a team will consist of four drivers, a team manager and a mechanic. The focus of activity will be on keeping the cars running at the required average speed for 324 miles. Straight forward on the face of it, but in reality working out car and driver changes and re-fuelling, it can become a challenge.
The format that was successful in ’98 will be repeated with only a few changes. Mainly having two cars in each team instead of one. This should allow a team to keep going even if one of the cars runs into problems. With 30 cars on the circuit, and another 30 cars with their drivers ready to take over in the pits, it could well be a team manager making the correct logistical decisions that takes the credit. Being an endurance test and not a race will mean you won’t need a competition licence.

Hi, sorry you never received the reply Carol sent you dated 05.12.07 (excerpt below).
We hope the TVRCC are still considering entering a two car team to represent the TVR marque.

, thank you for your email
Our initial request for help from your club was in finding a second TVR owner who would be interested in joining Peter Jaggs peter@20yw.fsnet.co.uk with his lovely 500 Griffith to form a TVR team. We are pleased to hear that the TVRCC are considering entering a two car team for the Six Hour at Mallory Park themselves. We would still appreciate your help in directing a TVR owner to join Peter.
Regards, Carol Bury
