Here we go!

Looking forward to my first season (assuming the car is finished in time) especially with the extra BTCC round.

The car carries its original Datapost livery for the benefit of fans so I don't have many visible opportunities for sponsors but would be happy to discuss options such as naming the team to reflect support particularly in relation to the BTCC rounds (ITV2 coverage)

The car has already appearedd in the Corgi collectors mag as they issued a Vanguard model of it just before Christmas and Classic Ford want to do a feature. On track it should attract a lot of attention.....


Looking forward to you coverage Malcolm.

Hi do you know when the new regs are published. I was going to run in the classics but my car had a few period modifications which did not seem to tie up with the regs and where deemed to extreme basically a gruppe 2 body kit), then at the meets I have seen cars which are more like works cars with large arch extensions (BDA escort) or never sold to the public TR7 sprint.

2012 regs should be on SMRC website soon. Changes I'm aware of relate to cc classes, safety (side bars on open cars) and Mk1 escort gearbox.

Best to discuss any mods with Rob McKinna before they're done. Period body kits are normally ok but you cant change track and wheel width is restricted by class

Robs contact details are in regs.

The Scottish Classic regs are a law unto themselves! If you have enough dosh and influence then you can run anything, even BDG engined Escorts and 911s to near current spec!

If being ‘a law unto themselves’ means a continually increasing number of competitors
over several years, long may it continue.

There is some big-budget machinery – however, many of the cars could be built for less than £10K.

BDG Escorts and 911s must have met the criteria, otherwise they
would not be competing.

Nineteen cars qualified for the Scottish Classics visit to Oulton Park on 2nd June, in wet conditions which some drivers found
rather difficult. A twentieth, the Porsche 911 of Raymond Boyd, was able to start race one from the back of the grid, following
alternator problems prior to qualifying. More entrants were expected, however, mechanical failures during Friday testing reduced
numbers.

Regular winner, Andy Smith, had little difficulty winning both races in his Morgan +8.
Invitation class entrant, David Holroyd, Lotus Elan 26R, came second in race one and fourth in race two.
Robert Marshall, Ford Escort came home with two third places, especially enjoying a very close battle with Holroyd in race one.
Boyd climbed to fourth in race one and finished two seconds behind Smith in the second outing, just ahead of Marshall.

Further down the order, Nic Boyes, Mini Cooper, and Keiron Baillie, Ford Escort, fought very hard over seventh place in race one.
Boyes had a similarly intense race two, on this occasion with Robin Benn, Ford Capri.

The next two rounds are at Croft on 23rd and 24th June, part of the BTCC weekend.

Croft 2012

Wish I was there!
Engine only came off the dyno on Thursday morning, all day to get it in the found the water pump was knackered and it still wasn't running right.

Can't afford another blowup and a bit of a trek for testing!

Watching from the sofa - keep an eye out for last years Class A winner Rodger Motherwell in #68 orange Alfasud Sprint. A lot of work done over the winter.

Oulton was a test and Rodger took 3 seconds off his quali time to finish 2nd/3rd in class in yesterday's race. (Not sure if the caterham is points scoring).

A couple of tweaks this morning, target is to beat Nic Boyes' green mini.

Managed to catch the coverage and very impressed with the well informed and knowledgeable commentators! Was it in the script for the TR to lose it on the last lap?

Learned more about the corners and lines than when watching the BTCC drivers.
