Ah, I missed that one. There was another Finals meeting circa 2015 where just about everyone spun at Becketts during practice. Not wet, just some mysterious greasy track condition.

Not sure the exact year but pretty certain that the AMOC St John Horsfall meeting was cancelled due to very heavy rain some years ago - possibly the 50th Anniv. of AMOC meeting?
Great shame for our FISCAR guys last Sunday; we had some great entries. Incidentally, love Belmondo's first shot in post 72 - some rare stuff there - what appears to be a Shapecraft Elan, Sabre 6 GT and a pair of SLRs - dear old Mike Bell would have loved those. |

If you can play with a GTA in the wet its a good training to drive a Camaro or Corvette…

G, you are right. Before I bought the Chevy I had been racing my GTA for 10 years.... quite nervy in the wet, but nothing like as tricky as a Lotus Elan in the same conditions. I was told that Mustangs can be a bit of a handful on a damp track....

Not quite a replacement for the Autumn Classic but the extra CSCC meeting on 24th October is shaping up well with some large and varied grids.
