50 years of E-type this year, I wonder if Spa would show a bigger field of big cats this year.
get your priorities right. It's 60 years of C-Types this year.
Looks like the main party for the E will be at the Silverstone Classic.
For the C-Type they are planning a bash at Shelsley Walsh on 4th and 5th of June.
It's also the XK Club day, so I'm planning to be there in the 150.
Jaguars: just too complicated!

NOW we are talking Dink - only 4 months to get here 
I think The Shipman one could have been top 3 without the problems. Nigel said he was taking it easy in his first stink and still just hanging with the top GT40's, can't remember what effectively put it out half way through Shipman stint. Did Mark even get to drive - I did not think it finished. It was 3rd on the Grid! Pity it cam in on the low loader (Front uprights as expected and very modded but still a weak link - not having these on mine).
They easily had the legs of the Blue one this year.
Mines off to have the same full exhaust system built as per these 2 on Monday

At 2:20 the green TreVoR next to Shaun Lynns GT40! We were looking at this from the grandstand and were amazed.

Indeed - Mark Hales did a mega job on last few laps of practice (before the stub axle snapped), was Chatting to Nigel Rueben when fixing it. If they could only get a clean run at it.At 2:20 the green TreVoR next to Shaun Lynns GT40! We were looking at this from the grandstand and were amazed.
Agree GT40 should be better though, longer wheelbase, mid-engined, think alloy heads homologated and defo bigger brakes. So the Driving you'd have to say was of the Top order

In the long hot summer of 1976 Formula One star James Hunt and motorcycling legend Barry Sheene conquered the world and captured the public imagination:

P12 and best Belgium result for this little Duvel.
P31 cracking green 911.
3:08 for the quickest 911s 2 litre screamers (1/50s).
P17 and always a good result for the Dutch Melse entry.
Stunning 904/6 had to retire after just 37 laps. The team came all the way from the USA.
Nice and terrifying screaming stuff.
