I was in the race in a red BMW 325 sport. The clutch centre plate disintegrated after 13 hours.
Nick Mason was driving with us that year. |

Richard, in the video of that race they mentioned a lot of teams including yours having fuel vaporisation problems.Was that correct, i know it was a hot day but i wouldn't have thought it would effect the normally aspirated cars the way it did ?
I bet you were impressed when you first saw that coverage, and seeing your name given away I'm guessing it would have taken a good couple hours to change your clutch plate, if you had one. I also take it you were the only one's to race the new 325i for that race ? |

Despite the misery at 5.00am we always enjoyed the event, if it was still going - we might still be involved probably with my two nephews driving now !! Really good days though ! |

Have to assume you've already spoken to David Oates....(or know him well)....? If not, his son (I think) posts on here occasionally. Tallguy_2, or something like that. |

I went to the 1986 Willhire and the 360 yesterday. I loved both and WILL be entering next years 360. Just finished watching my 86 Willhire video. SUPERB!!!

My fault. English was never a strong point. Come to think of it, school was never a strong point.

Willhire 24 hour ,1986
Claire and her colleagues at the 360 Motor Club.
Really enjoyed myself at the event yesterday,slightly disappointed(for you and friends)that more did not attend. I,and the family that I co-erced to come along,were able to reminisce about times past,and your heartfelt comments in the flysheet were taken to heart,WE wiill be back again. Noticed more families arriving as the day went on,lets not forget the young ones are the fans of tomorrow!More power to all your elbows,more,please. Yours in admiration, Snett fan55. |
