VH ARCHITECTURE

[Jon39]

We sometimes read critical comments, on here and in magazines, about the supposedly ancient VH chassis. Other sports car manufacturers are said to have far better, and up-to-the minute chassis engineering.

Well, these other fancy firms were left trailing, at Oulton Park a week ago.

What is wrong with the road holding?

Hmmm, those Bentleys look like they're a long way back...

Exactly!! State of the art, and ahead of the game............... Sick of hearing "old platform/technology blah blah" from ill informed journalists.

Also the 'high tech.' Nissan.

Too busy being photographed by a bunch of hi vis wearing sandle botherers.

To be fair though, the Datsun was being driven by a bicycliste:

The Bentley was being driven by a certain pomme-flavoured lurker.

I have found a film of the race.

The race part of the film begins at 5 minutes 50 seconds.

Wonderful Aston Martin Vantage V12 (GT3) and V8 (GT4) action.

Thanks for posting that Jon - very entertaining.

We plan to be at Silverstone on 31st May to see them in action. Anyone else going?

What a great race series! Cars look incredible as does the competition.

[KarlFranz]

4 out 6 top positions at the finish is definitely not bad. The Vantage is definitely starting to get some street cred for its racing prowess. Look out Porsche!

[petesv8v]

Yep planning to do Rockingham on Monday and Silverstone at end of May ,check out the Blancpain at Brands on 18th May as well.

Jon 39. Thank you so much for posting the clip. It was an absolute joy to see Aston Martin winning for a change!

[BravoV8V]

I'm going to try to get along to the Sunday afternoon of Rockingham. (Can't make the Monday or Silverstone due to work).

[BravoV8V]

Made it along to qualifying.

"Would sir/ma'am like their racing Aston in red, white or black?..."


"...Full fat?..."


"...or diet?"



The provisional results have the #1 car in 2nd place in GT3 and the #407 car in 3rd place in GT4. Race tomorrow.
