Super Tourers at Brands

avro · 3 Sep 2006, 08:10 (Ref:1700442)

On Saturday the LMA Euro Saloons raced on the indy circuit at Brands, there were 4 super tourers entered, in the race two Hondas and a Nissan with a Noble M12 added to spice it up raced for 20 minutes lapping within a couple of tenths of a second and overtaking WITHOUT contact, with the front two Honda Accords finishing apart by only .174 sec.

A credit to club racing, it was a shame it was on a Saturday morning and not shared by many spectators, although our next round at Oulton Park WILL be televised for Motors TV and we expect 7 Super Tourers out for that.

do remember that ex Aiello's Nissan Primera will be raced at Silverstone on Friday & Saturday as part of the DSC

avro, if you find out could you let us know when that race meeting will be televised?? Cheers

Ian Sowman · 4 Sep 2006, 08:25 (Ref:1701301)

Keep an eye out on the schedules page of amgtv.co.uk - given that the race is in early October I would expect that one to be in late November/early December.

avro · 4 Sep 2006, 18:22 (Ref:1701712)

The Oulton Park race is on the 23rd Sept so would expect to see it early Nov.

Better still come along and see us in action.

Ian Sowman · 4 Sep 2006, 18:25 (Ref:1701715)

Hmm... I think it might be a bit longer than that. The programme schedule for Oct 27 has the Anglesey races - Fords and LMA - from August 19/20 - so there will be a few more weeks of other stuff to catch up before we get back round to LMA again (he said with his commentator hat on).

Actually, I'm coming up to the Oulton meeting to do some interviews and so forth.

avro · 4 Sep 2006, 18:31 (Ref:1701718)

Come and see us with the no 25 Honda (Hale) and will ply you with coffee, always pleased to give an interview for the TV, I will get my hair cut in preperation. !!!!!

sharpy · 5 Sep 2006, 09:02 (Ref:1702110)

Avro, I think i will try and make the trip from Newcastle for the racing. Haven't seen the Super Tourers in action for a while, hope that there is a good turn out of cars on the day.

avro · 5 Sep 2006, 19:10 (Ref:1702636)

Sharpy,

Hopefully the following ST cars will be at Oulton

Derek Hale Honda Accord
Simon Blankley Honda Accord
Richard Hawken Nissan Primera
Mark Taylor Nissan Primera
John Hammersly Vauxhall Cavalier
Peter Challis Nissan Primera

Plus any others I can contact.

Also the ex Rouse ex DTM Merc, plus all the other LMA cars, not sure if the Noble is coming out to play.

Ian Sowman · 5 Sep 2006, 19:12 (Ref:1702640)

Mal is currently entered in the Noble. 11 entries on the list at the moment, of which the only ST so far is John H. I'm sure that others will follow in the next 2.5 weeks!

That a good number. Do you think that there is any chance of Alvin Powell racing his Mondeo and Alex Schooledge racing his Vectra that weekend??

avro · 6 Sep 2006, 07:14 (Ref:1702942)

I will speak to them both but Alex had a crash at Brands while testing a couple of weeks back and the car still needs some repairs.

Not sure on Alvin, if it was a double header he would be there for sure, but watch this space.

hawkenr · 6 Sep 2006, 09:08 (Ref:1703040)

We will be there in our Nissan. Need to fix a small oil leak this weekend but shee flew at Brands last weekend. We sucked 15 litres of fuel out of it plus we were running on scuffs which were new in April. Given the clouds on Saturday and the threat of rain, we put more fuel than needed to add weight to the rear wheels. It is a formula we tested on the scales and put into practise at Snetterton in April in the pouring rain. We qualified 13th due to the misfire, made 4th by the finish and set fastest lap.

We are on the Fosters circuit I believe, all 1.6 miles of it.

TV.....cool. Can't wait for the next race now my car is running properly.

sharpy · 18 Sep 2006, 09:26 (Ref:1712737)

Avro,
Is there any further update on who will be bringing their Super Tourers to Oulton Park this Saturday??

avro · 18 Sep 2006, 20:00 (Ref:1713169)

Sharpy, still expect the tourers as follows

Derek Hale Honda Accord
Simon Blankley Honda Accord
Richard Hawken Nissan Primera

avro · 20 Sep 2006, 13:23 (Ref:1714679)

I drove down from Newcastle early on saturday morning for the races. Had a good day. Got photo's spoke to a couple of teams and Avro. Managed to get a photo of your car in between your mechanic's working on it. Looked different with the front bumper off!!

Will be trying to get to a couple of race meeting next year. From what i heard there could be a couple more ST cars out.

Excellent, would you mind sending the picture for use on my website (full acreditation of course) we were so busy trying to fix a broken gearbox mounting, didn't get much time to get camera out. Last to 3rd felt good though.

sharpy · 27 Sep 2006, 14:26 (Ref:1721253)

No problem, will be getting my pics back tomorrow, can you PM me your e-mail address so i can send them to you. Thanks
