What racing have you got planned for 2012 ?

[RetroWheels]

Bugger global economic meltdown , im more interested in what's happening next season .
I'll start the ball rolling.
Focusing on DTEC Class B with RV8 Tuscan , might do the odd BARC Sports Saloon round and maybe an Aston Owners Club with an AJP car - but priority is to do a full season of DTEC.

Over to you...

[tbdgriff500]

mornin all
detec full season,class B, but am very interested in future classics, like spa it would be good to race against other marques, depends on funds but would love to do spa again if it doesn't clash,spa looks a posability through future classics this year,

[wadsapple]

I hope to be doing DTEC in class "A" in a new Chevrolet Tuscan,Some Future Classic,s rounds in the RV8 Tuscan,Race at Spa in the new Tuscan,Some rounds of the Castle Combe GT in new tuscan,A trip to Nurburgring in the Rover Tuscan finishing just infront of Andy Race.

I am in need of a bit of advise/surgestions as to a couple of outings in 2,3 or 4 hour races in new Tuscan.I am looking at Britcar at the moment,but am not sure my Tuscan is eligable as it was not a production car.I am just starting to look into Dutch Super car.Have any of you had some fun doing the longer stuff if so what races have you done that you can recomend i look into? I,m not to bothered about race results just the FUN factor must be high up the scale

Morning i did Silverstone with the CSCC Future Classic,s last year and it was my second favorite outing of the year.The reg,s and series application forms have just been released.I have sent mine off to enter the Rover Tuscan again.Just a heads up, be sure your car will be accepted as they don,t accept things sticking out of the bonnet although i was told by there elligability scruteneer that he would except a hole with mesh over it.in my case no real use if i went into the gravel trap i would have a world of pain to contend with.I have redesigned my induction and i know Darren has worked on his as well to conform.

A.Race man in the know says mine is fine but will check at the autosport show on the 13th jan,

I'll just be doing Class B DTEC in 2012 'cos I like things stuck out of the bonnet

Taken from Britcar Engine Regs
"Exceptions to this regulation are limited to the following manufacturers: Marcos Mantis, TVR Tuscan and Sagaris may fit engines from the Chevrolet range"

Presume from this it would be allowed (does not say Tuscan Challenge car but does not say NOT Tuscan Challenge) JT seems to let most cars race

Saw John(Seery) today, he's intending to race the full season in his Class A Tuscan.
In a bid to iron out some of last seasons .. ahem.. "unreliabilty issues" i'll be putting the red RV8 Tuscan through some intensive testing - beginning with a shakedown at (would you believe)Oulton on the 21st Jan and every month thereafter (or until im skint-whichever comes first ).
