750 mile race at Nurburgring, November 2010

[Kevin Cooke]

Guys,

Some of the Historic S2000 crowd were approched late last September by the German HRA to enter this 750 mile race at the Nurburgring but we couldn't get our act togther in time.

I'm pretty sure its on the GP Circuit not the Nordschleife, it's apparently the longest Historic race in the world!.

Did anyone on this forum race in the event or does know anything about it.

Thanks

Kevin

Here's a start but I'm sure Terry Bower will know more.

I've helped out with a '78 Tiga on several occasions, and Delta has driven in it. It is on the GP circuit, and there is a real mixture of cars from Fiat Abarths to Mustangs and Camaros. The Sports 2000s tend to be amongst the quickest cars overall, but you have to watch out for V8s passing you on the straight, pulling in front of you, and then hitting the brakes 100m before you would.

Great fun, though, and a meal in the Tiergarten is not to be missed!

WE were allready to race Kevin in my freinds Tiga SC 78. Meeting got canned.Lack of entries and bad weather

Although it's possible to have fabulous weather over there in November,I cannot understand why they try and stage this enduro at this time of year.Think they really should look for an ealier date,probably get a lot more interest as it rightly deserves.

I will enquire via Marcel Biehl of the German HRA if it's planned to run it this year, BTW he runs a Lola T492 in the German Endurance Cup and it was that car that won the 4 hour race a the Spa Summer Classic last year.

If it's on I intend to try and drum up some entries from the UK, would you do it this year?

How many drivers were you planning to do it with, I was thinking 3?

Regards

Kevin

Yep we are ready to race. Marcel is a 10/10ther. I think there are a few probs with organisers at the moment. Marcel is busy moving workshops ATM. BTW we would race over here if there were some two driver enduro races,You definitely need 3 or 4 drivers for the 750 mile.
Be brilliant to have some more cars from the UK.

I echo all than Alan says. I co-drove in Delta's 1978 Tiga on more than one occassion in the early naughties. It is great fun. The standard of some of the driving, however, leaves a lot to be desired.
