Does anyone know where I may find some video feeds from the Orwell Cup? My son sent me a few a while ago but I deleted them on accidnet. Any help would be great. Thanks

Just came cross your enquiry from nearly 2 years ago !! I guess you have found the Orwell site by now, but if not it is orweell-supersportscup.com.

Can I assume you are Orwell John Burton with B26.If so welcome and if not still welcome!

John do you see the new Masters Group 6 series being good for Orwell? I always think that this is a series that shoudl be more high profile as the cars are superb, racing fantastic but they rarely come to UK and dont do the Spa 6 Hour. I think Masters might just stimulate some more cars to come out and fingers crossed we might see some at one of the Masters Festivals!

John, it is the very same John Burton, and he has already contributed to the B26 thread in the chassis archive.

Ahhh you've understood the cunning plan, Simon

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Nov 2007, 14:11 (Ref:2064341)

If Simon can work it out, it probably isn't that cunning.

**John Turner** · 10 Nov 2007, 14:22 (Ref:2064353)

Poor old Simon, he does cop some stick doesn't he. The plan may not be cunning but it sure is a good one. I agree, Simon, these are great cars.

Only because he deserves it!

I thought Masters were the ruination of all things historic, yet we are here suggesting they may actually improve a series?

FWIW I suspect that will be the case and good luck to them. The cars are great and indeed watching them thunder around Spa is a joy.

Always good to know we had your support Peter

........but seriously, I'm sure it's going to work well

Up yours red nose!

It's a term of endearment. Honest.

johngee · 10 Nov 2007, 15:47 (Ref:2064405)

Oh, I see! One of those quaint expessions that you picked up working abroad?

It not John,Peter obviously think's you look like one of Santa's Reindeer

johngee · 10 Nov 2007, 15:54 (Ref:2064415)

Terry - it's all in my 'black book'. If Peter's ever 'up before me', neither the MSA or the FIA will be able to help him - the penalty will merit the attention of the European Court of Human Rights

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Nov 2007, 16:16 (Ref:2064433)

According to my staff, I'm not human so that's ok then. Now, where were we?

Ah yes, the fact that a lot of us are looking forward to seeing these mighty beasts in their rightful habitat.

terence · 10 Nov 2007, 17:03 (Ref:2064485)

Yeah OK Peter,you are right,RE Orwell,one of the best series ever.It's great to see these car's out there

[I promise I did not E-Mail you'r staff before you arrived]

I am not sure that the new Masters GP 6 series will be good for Orwell. After all, it now appears to be in direct competition in the 2litre and 3litre prototype catrgories. To that extent, I agree with Peter Mallett.

I do have sympathy with those of you who would like to see Orwell coming to the UK more often. However, with around seven meetings in total during the season throughout the major European circuits, there are never going to be too many events in the UK. We did come to Brands and Silverstone in 2006.

It is the only really competitive series where one can see Can-Am cars,some of which are driven extremely well with their 8.8litre (!) motors. For me, that is part of what I enjoy - the David and Goliath act.

I wish the new series well and may even try the odd race myself if they will accept me, but having raced in Orwell for a number of years I consider it the best run and most competitve series.

I can well understand why people with Lola T70's choose Masters, since they get lapped by our quickest 2litres in an average Orwell race. Not something I would enjoy if I owned a T70.

Incidently, i have a high regard for John Smith as an excellent Clerk of the Course ( remember that next time John,when I fail to notice a yellow ! ).

You're right about Orwell John but I'm sure Masters will make you welcome

Thank you for the compliment - even with the 'sting in the tail'

. It's a change from the usual abuse I get on here!

terence · 14 Nov 2007, 07:59 (Ref:2067107)

When was that John?
I too am looking forward to see'ing more of these car's out there.You tend to get some pretty competitive racing all down the grid plus of course there's the soundtrack!!

**Peter Mallett** · 14 Nov 2007, 08:59 (Ref:2067128)

Loads of V8s of course.
