ALGARVE CLASSIC FESTIVAL
Well established, and popular. Usually coincides with school half term, and in previous years entry fees have included 5 star hotel accommodation overlooking the beach at Praia da Rocha...
Oh- and there are rumours that some much needed track resurfacing will have been done over the winter! Includes Motor Racing Legends Grids, GTSCC, U2TC (x2) and local races. |

Just thought I'd bump this one.
I'm looking for a co driver for the MRL 2hrs race. Split the costs etc. If anyone is interested do let me know. Thanks |

There's now a 60 minute 'Pre-1975 Algarve Sports Cars' race as well. Classes for (up to end of 1984) Sports 2000s, Crossle Drivers Club cars, Sports racers (pre '66 & pre '75), GTs and Touring cars 'pre 1975' and 'pre 1979'..... The first two mentioned get to run on their normal tyres, others have to run Dunlop M, Post Historic or Avon All Weather A37 compound. it's a joint venture with HMRN (1000km cars), Flavien & Vanessa Marcais (Pre - 80'Endurance) and Diogo Ferrao (I.H.E.)
It's all a bit complicated, but if anyone hasn't seen the regs, and would like to, PM me and I'll email! Also, the weekend now includes HGPCA front and rear engine (combined), Formula Junior, Iberian Historic Endurance and Formula Ford Portugal...... |

No, nothing yet. I'd be surprised if its sorted- probably working out who gets the short straw of an early start on Sunday! Given that the event is one weekend further into winter than before, the later sunrise will make for an interesting start to the days......
I thought it was written somewhere that the MRL 2hr touring car race will be on Saturday, but can't find it now! |

Accommodation is included with the entry fee so shouldn't be an issue. But I've done the same so now for weekends like Goodwood I book the same days two weeks running, then cancel the weekend I don't need. That said it also depends on an invite for that particular event.
The GTSCC race is, I'm told, Sunday morning. |

Mr Rowley and you certainly, as seen in MRL press release...
I'm leaving base this coming Monday afternoon as there is the small matter of Le Castellet weekend after this one coming. Should get to AIA by 1700hrs Wednesday before the meeting, which is usually when the circuit staff relent in their practiced refusal of access to all and sundry! No doubt several others will be travelling via Estoril, including your co-driver. |

Well, eventful for box 19 so far. Arrived from Ricard with two dead cars, so was working from moment of arrival. The SLR has had engine out to replace flywheel spigot, and that’s proved successful. The B19 is not raceable so the owner has had his B8 rushed out from UK to replace it.... That has qualified OK.
The SLR I’m co driving (all 3 are here ) was flying during Thursday test, but died at the end of free practice yesterday. Diagnosis was that timing had slipped, and as both engine failures this season were down to dizzy problems I had the whole drive out to check. No faults found so reassembled and re timed. Gave it a razz down the local roads and felt OK, so fingers crossed for qualifying later today. Worrying when no obvious reasons for something..... Good stuff- weather fab, all fellow racers smiling and chilled, and had two superb evening meals without even venturing to the seafood places on the beach! Just to make Delta jealous- excellent pizza last night, followed by best ice cream in the Algarve and free limoncello’s at the end........ |
