It was me who asked about this a while ago, thanks for that. If anyone has more info can they post it here (dates etc) It is an interesting squeeze in the marketplace. MotorRacingLegends sent out a flyer this week saying drivers will need to be members of their new "club" to enter - at £350 each. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. More dilution I suspect. Their eligibility is interesting. You can run a Cooper Monaco or a Lotus 15, but not a 3.8 Ctype/D-type or any Allard. They are also excluding the big engined american cars like Kellisons which cant get FIA papers so are looking for somewhere to race. There are a few in the UK and they arent really that competitive if running to period spec Last edited by Geraint Owen; 24 Jan 2020 at 09:53. |

As Geraint says, that will be interesting to watch as it unfolds. Do MRL offer day memberships ? Rudolf |

Rétromobile show, Paris, 5/9 Feb
If you're in Paris area you can meet at least two french meeting organizers, Peter Auto and HVM during Rétromobile show, 5/9 February, porte de Versailles. Clean toilets, overpriced sandwiches. Not a recommendation,info.

I've just bought a cheap train ticket for Wednesday 5 February, so hope they will actually be running that day. |

Yep, more or less mandatory, its always half a pleasure at least, with many people you like to meet and some other you dont appreciate so much…
Mind you, whatever the price of the train ticket nobody can tell what the unions will do. So John, always ready for a nice stop at Pigalle? Haa, les p'tites femmes de Paris sont toujours pleines des surprises. Même quand on les appelle monsieur! |

I've never been to Retromobile. Last time I went it was the Paris Racing Car Show! We drove down from Wiltshire and back in the day. A very long day....
Must have been the very late 80s or very early 90s. IIRC the next year we flew and satyed overnight. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

I remember you're and experienced Paris traveller, Max. Over the years, the autojumble totally disappeared its a shame. Many modern car makers, many good restorers.
What about a beer with John and me this time? I won't suggest anything to Mike! We'll make some selfies… |

No worry, just say how much you love England and hate France and everything will be OK. Trade a beer in Paris for a breakfast at Donny!
Speaking about that I think they are some mistakes in the names of the SCC series I gave, its from the french organiser website. Idem for Pau, I read HF2 + F 5000 in France but dont know what it means for real. Alantic or something else? |

According to the newly issued HSCC Chart Calendar Pau's Historic meeting features non-championship races for Formula Junior, Classic Formula Three, Formula Ford 2000 as well as the Aurora XL Trophy (Pre 1980 Slicks and wings single seaters, F1, F5000, F2 F3, F Atlantic etc ) and the new Geoff Lees Trophy ( Pre 1990 Slicks and wings single seaters F2, F3, F Atlantic etc ) and the European Historic Formula Two series . I would guess that there is a fair possibility that the last three would feature on a combined grid as the races are non-championship although being Pau there could be a bumper entry . This is the first year of the Geoff Lees Trophy so it is an unknown quantity.

Merci beaucoup, GC, ce sont de jolies nouvelles! Thanks for this clarification, seems some of you buddies didn't chose the easiest way to race but one of the most elegant.
I hope Mike will like you to add this to the relevant thread. Lets hope the non championship aspect will not keep too many out of this little Monaco! |

I guess few here will bother but Grand Prix de Pau Historique is run by the same organisation as all the Motors Cup!, its HVM. Those people have some experience with foreign entries.

I'm sure he will bring as many as he can fit. I'm sure if he has enough room, he will use it

It’s good value for money, especially as it’s not that much cheaper than a full season. Either do one race or the whole season
