It sounds like the 2021 season is going to be able to go ahead from April, so what are you racing this year?

Include photos and championship / series details please.

I'll be out in the first year of championship status (after sharing a grid in 2019 then having a standalone series in 2020) for the MA7DA Championship run under 750MC - https://www.facebook.com/750MCMa7da

I'll be racing this in the Caterham Graduates Sigmax class. I can't wait. My only concern (apart from the fact I need to put the car back together) is that although racing can start in April, it looks like hotels are likely to remain closed for a bit longer, which will affect entries from those who don't own a motorhome and don't fancy camping in April.

Congratulations on championship status for the MA7DAs! If you’re anything like me it’ll add a whole extra dimension to your racing, you no longer have racing mates just fierce rivals- cold hard stares all around when the paddock social BBQs start back up hehe

I’ll be out in the tubby Jaguar again, the JEC Saloons & GTs have a new home with the Classic Touring Car Racing Club hosted by BARC- very wordy, three clubs to join, but we’re back on our own grid and fingers are crossed for a reinvigorated series! Live coverage for every race too, I took part in the CTCRC Pre93s last year and the coverage is great! Really excited to see a whole Jag season covered as the racing is great.

Hopefully doing some 750MC Roadsports rounds in this, and maybe a couple of BRSCC Clubsport Trophy races.

Socially distanced towards the back of the grid in this (it’s 50th year of continuous competition in our ownership).



And hopefully this (9k rpm 1000cc) which is nearly finished



All house purchase notwithstanding, the 100e should move up the grid with a new 1600 as opposed to the current ‘cooking’ 1300.

Looks great. Not sure how they will get around the hotels thing. I usually just chuck a mattress in the back of the car and sleep in the paddock. Hopefully we will still be able to do that...

Haha thanks. I was in Locost for years before we got MA7DA going. Your car looks great, and that's an awesome photo! Where is the live coverage of your series? Is it through the guys at Alpha Live?

Look ace Dan. Will make the effort to come and say hi next time we are out with 750 Roadsports. I've finally got Tom to commit to race this year - he got his ARDS last summer and will be out with us for hopefully most of the season.

Both look lovely - I see you like grey?

Have you got any videos? Rallycross has got to be one of the best forms of racing to watch

Looks great - get a photo of your C1 up! They sound a lot of fun, especially in 24 hour guise..

Never heard of this series. Looks like great fun with a good mix of cars!

We once bought a yellow racecar and asked the seller if he knew the paint code. He (with suitable embarrassment) shuffled his feet a bit, and said ‘Westland helicopter yellow’ (he worked for the RAF), ha!

Also racing in Grads and figured out that although hotels are shut, you can still book an airbnb as a holiday let.
