Again. no one other than FIA to blame for this situation. the HTP was always a way of allowing a replica to be built to a historic specification..The problem is that it seems the specification is being honed down to finite levels in time rather than a broad interpretation of the spirit of the regs being followed…
Not too fussed. I am happy slumming it.. it would be nice to think that one day though I could race at a prestige event, even if I was last!!
