I am a friend of Alan Bonner who has tested the car. Alan is hoping to race the car at Silvberstone this weekend. If anyone is interested in Trident or Alan then please contact me and I will pass on your details to Alan.

The trident project is very exciting I would be surprised if the car finishes tommorow but the team are in the project for the long run.

Alan and Enzo Mucci are a very quick and able pair of drivers.

It hasn't got off to a very good start so far this weekend. Didn't manage to start the first race.

I wondered what that was to be honest, saw the silver one near a T350c...

Don't think I saw you FWD, even if I did I wouldn't have known it was you.. - Saw someone with TVR cap and Parka coat on, he probably lives on PH.. give me a shout so I know who's who

I had my PH cap on and only arrived for the GT's, wandered around the paddock with my sister/bro-in-law and their 2 boys, my 18month old nephew loved the GT's cheering Michael Caine and Mike Jordan on, right up until the 5th lap when he fell asleep. Yes, Woodcote stand and he fell asleep with all the car roaring past. Woke up when it ended and looked a bit upset he'd missed them.

Saw Damon Hill then Adrian Newey take his Ginetta out for the last race.

My car was quite lonley in the car park

It did just over a lap in qualifying and the next time I saw it it was getting towed in. They said it hadn't turned a wheel until then so lots more testing me thinks. They also said it looked TVR like - maybe.

Did you hear the noise that thing made - not a hint of Diesel chug - pure anger

Funnily enough I managed to do the same thing when the Ecosse Ferrari romped out to a 23 second lead within the first 15 laps...

I have been looking at running my fleet on bio-diesel for a while now, but until i saw the trident on saturday no one could or would inform me in any real terms way. i had a good chat with phil and dan there and came away very positive about bio.

Where though is all the gov. backing/ funding/ information, that will lead to us meeting the eu directives for this carbon reduction??

I saw this car yesterday, had to do some research to find out what it was, but that still doesn't explain why it was driving down my road in Swindon - lol


Trident also produce a road going Sportscar I bet that is what you saw.
