Another GT Corvette
Discussion
That makes three Corvettes in the GT series. As well as the Jensen Car, Xero Competion will have the car they raced last year and Embassy Racing (www.embassyracing.com) have just built and tested a C5. How do I know this - I was lucky enough to be invited to Pembry on Monday when Xero and Embassy hired the entire circuit. I didn't see the Xero car run, but the Embassy car put in a few laps. The Embassy team are very keen to forge links with CCCUK so watch this space.
Well would you believe it - got an invite to the launch of the Jensen Motorsport C5 today. It is running a stock LS1 and gearbox hence the quoted BHP, as there is a power to weight ratio in their class. Whilst an LS6 motor may seem the obvious choice, I would guess it could tip them over the limit. The engine management has been changed - it looks impressive and they are looking forward to the first round at Donnington next weekend. Might go along as all three C5 race cars should be there.
By the way, blackzr, I do not want to open old wounds but two of these cars may be well known to you, I guess.

Geoff - can't decide whether to go or not at the moment. I was going up Friday as free practice is very early on Saturday with two 15 min qualifiers just after lunch. The race is about 1pm on Sunday I think. I have no Vette to take anyway (sob,sob) unless you can lend me one of yours (yippee.....)
Geoff - I was going to ask you the same question as I didn't go either for two reasons. Firstly I didn't relish the 450 mile round trip in my old Mitsibushi and secondly, two of the cars had not had much testing, and I feared that they could have had problems at the track. A long way to go to watch a car stationery in the pits.
