Maybe the clash with LMC was one too far, combined with GTSCC being at Brands last weekend and HSCC there weekend after. Poor grids for Masters, entry list on their website for anyone interested. Not sure how many in Lurani FJ but suspect also lower than wished for.
I have no idea what cars would be eligible for the 'local' races, but maybe they could have been promoted in UK as well? |

Quite a good, simple to use web site for the event. http://brnogp.com/?page_id=398&lang=en Cheap tickets - under £6 to get in. Click the links on the right for race info, entries and some pics for what one might see in each group ... some look, er, interesting. The Juniors and HGPCA people seem to have decent numbers. |

Strange to see the name MTX mentioned so many times in one place! Most, if not all looking at the lists, will be single seater formula cars. I presume the 'interesting' comment was when looking at some of the 'Czechoslovak formulas' entries! Agree, but thinking about it, they are no more 'interesting' than some of our F3 500s from the same decade. Don't forget that these cars were built and raced behind the Iron Curtain, using domestic production car and home produced special parts only. I found it quite fascinating during the short time I spent over there sorting out my MTX, certainly some impressive engineering given the raw materials they had to work with! Really disappointed now that am not making the trip, fingers crossed for next year.... Jan and Iain, I've got a Czech translation App on my phone- text me what you want to know (keep it clean) and I'll see if it still works! |

Whatever it should be fun and a fascinating mix of events and cars in the paddock. There is a Google Translate App that seems to be highly functional and includes 2 way speech synthesis. Not sure if it is available for iPhones but Apple probably have something. The thing to remember is that you should NEVER consider handing your phone to the helpful young man wearing trainers who wishes to type his answer into your phone so you can hear the result in English ... Of course one has to hope that the translation the app produces is in fact somewhat accurate and does not insult the other party's family, intelligence or, in some cases, pet donkey. No doubt one can trust Google to get things right every time. |

What a nonsense to have it clash with Le Mans Classic.

If they want to improve on the grids next year the Czech promoters will have to study the calendar a bit more! Will be interesting to see if Masters repeat the meeting on their 2015 calendar, I was expecting small grids for pre 66 stuff but not F1. I see one LMC Morgan regular has jumped ship, but then he is chasing Masters championships points!

A few have jumped ship and I have lost my Talbot driver a certain rotund Bristolian.

All round, a truly dreadful weekend for clashes - as well as the noted gatherings, there is VSCC Shelsley and the small matter of the British GP where, I believe, there is going to be a celebration of the 50th British GP at Silverstone.

I think in fairness to the event that it is fundamentally a Czech meeting, so clashing with British GP and LMC probably wasn't a prime consideration during the planning. I maybe wrong, but that is how I read it. If it a success with the invited grids from outside The Republic, maybe next year they take more note of the European race calendar when deciding a date. Obviously no LMC next year, so that will make it a bit easier for them! I'm sure Masters, HGPCA and Lurani will be making the point about clashes.....
Weather set for scorchio, so hope you intrepid adventurers have packed the sun cream! |

I notice the guy fitting new brake shoes has safety footwear on, and they are civilized at Brno now with a new toilet block, a bit different to when I went there many moons ago.
Perhaps Barry Sheene burnt the old one down ? like the one he did at Imatra years ago Last edited by GORDON STREETER; 7 Jul 2014 at 23:06. |
