Are the Tuscans on at Brands on 9/10th as I can't see them mentioned on the timetable.

Don't want to turn up again to find out on the day its a no show.

The Dunlop Tuscan Challenge is being run as a separate class within the BARC/BRSCC Saloon and Sports Car series.

Qualifying is at 10.30am and the race is at 4pm (provisional times) on the Saturday. There is nothing on the Sunday for the Tuscans, although there is a full programme of other races.

I believe there will be 6 or 7 Tuscans and with a full grid of 30 cars on the Indy circuit - it should be an eventful race.

Unfortunately I am not able to race myself due to prior commitments.

Regards

Andy

We will be there because the highlight of the day will be "The World's Fastest Mini" race. The star driver and car combination will be Pete Edwards in his Mini Clubman. Pete can lap Brands quicker than any old TVR Tuscan!

Carry on at this rate and we'll soon have pictures of a 'James beater' available.

The 2 day meeting may be "mainly a Mini event" but the racing on Saturday is definitely not!

OK James. I've had enough. As Mrs Hui says, Sunday is a mainly Mini event, Saturday is not. Mini's are great, but the original poster was asking about Tuscans. As far as I recall this forum is still about the Tuscans. There is also a general motorsport forum if you want to wax lyrical about Minis.

Some other points for you to muse over when you have a minute between selling people's business cards on Ebay:

1) How about posting under your real name. Or has Dave banned you entirely from this site?

2) Kindly give it a rest on the Tuscans. One minute you try to make out you are the series' best friend, the next you are constantly putting the boot in.

3) If you have something positive to say - say it. Otherwise refer to point 5)

4) If what you have to say is positive but irrelevant, refer to point 5)

5) P!ss off!!!

D'you know....it's July and I've only been to one race meet this year Thruxton.......and the Tuscans weren't there.......

Seems really strange not to have an action packed race calendar.

Still....sounds like interesting news on the Britcar front...........

Hope everyone is well out there........

As a final aside, the lap times from today tell a different story,James.

Well Andy, James C never was 1 for an accurate posting was he !?!?

Still, here hoping that Ted can invoke the technology so that the persistant PITA can post no more !

They certainly do! All 6 Tuscans qualified faster than your "star driver" James. Darren Dowling's pole time was 48.998 vs the 53.986 2nd on the grid of the Mini Clubman.
"Pete can lap Brands quicker than any old TVR Tuscan"
...No, I don't think so James!

Was in the same race as you guys at Brands this last weekend although it was really 2 races if you know what I mean. ( I was in the orange Caterham) The TVR's were very impressive ( and quick)
Anyway, thought I'd say hi- and good luck for the rest of the season.
