Trouble is, I thought this was an alternative 6hrs thread, not an alternative Birkett thread.

We are talking about club racing.
However in a relay the cars only have to last one or two hours surely?

Hmm,
Half the fun of endurance racing is making sure the car is fettled and ready to complete the race (Terry please take note). The other half is the satisfaction of competing. Frankly a relay is of little interest to me, which is why I've never bothered about the Birkett. As to the full time professional team. Perhaps that's where I'm going wrong. Must discuss this with the management.
Yes John I think Silverstone would be ideal which is why I originally proposed the International circuit. Although I do think Snetterton could cope if the run to the pumps was managed properly.
