What are you racing in 2021? With photos!
Discussion
Hopefully this one, once the fire damage is fixed...(Piston Click got a great shot here last year at Brands in the Masters...just before the inferno took hold...!!)
And......if all goes to plan this one again, but sadly without our buddy Marc
And.....if possible this might be out of retirement again........!!

Will be racing in 750 Formula with this
Is that the Sheppard F750 car?? Last seen at my feet at Cadwell Park in bits (with various other parts behind us). Such a nice car and really glad to see it racing again. Hope you have a good season. Edited by TwoLeadFeet on Monday 8th March 08:10

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.
Only just spotted this but keeping one car through half a century of continuous competition is a serious commitment and achievement!And hopefully this (9k rpm 1000cc) which is nearly finished

Would love to hear a bit more background and stories!

It was a successful stage rally car through the 70’s, including being possibly the only 100e to win a forest stage against all the escorts. At the time it was also our only car, so I used to get taken to nursery in a carrycot strapped to the rollcage.
Fast forward to 1998, and it became a circuit racer. Goodwood revival 5 times (best result 4th), plus an outright win at Spa. Also competed in the saloon support race at the 2002 British Grand Prix, where it got a full page feature in Motoring News as ‘the cheapest car ever to race at the British Grand Prix’.
We’ve had many other race cars, but this hit a chord with dad and is a family heirloom. Family racing has always been a thing with us (dad now 82 and still racing, still quick as well), but sadly we lost my mum a few days ago, and I’m not sure where we’re going to go from here.
Still battling to get this little thing ready for it's first ever race at Lydden Hill in April.
With only 3 weeks left until Race 1 it will need to be a sprint finish to get the car done in time, and will still be a work in progress as the season gets underway.
Car has been built from scratch during lockdown and I've done most of the work myself (apart from the roll-cage).
Planning to race with CMMC Southern in their Tin Tops series.

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?
Sorry, I missed this way back when. Our coverage is via 247.tvHere > https://m.youtube.com/user/247dottv
And our edited highlights will be on Freesports on TV

I was at brands when the Amazon caught fire, it was so sad to watch, it seemed like forever to put the fire out. 😢And......if all goes to plan this one again, but sadly without our buddy Marc

As someone who grew up attending HSCC meetings with my father as a nipper (and the HRSR historic saloon rounds being a personal favourite), this 100e is a firm favourite of mine - remember speaking to you and your father at a couple of meetings over the years about the car.All house purchase notwithstanding, the 100e should move up the grid with a new 1600 as opposed to the current ‘cooking’ 1300.
Good to hear you're planning on restoring some grunt to the old girl, all the best to you and your dad at this difficult time.
