Err, yes. We got class P3 for the season. Just as well it wasn't P2 or P1 as the trophies wouldn't have fitted in my backpack!

HSCC puts the work in and keeps the cars running and somebody tries to steal that, disgraceful we as racers should not support poachers as these splits hurt the racing the Masters against HFO years did not do the grids any good at the time I fully agree with Simon on the quality of their behavior even if i am not used to my business competition giving notice before they make my life slightly more complicated and my main worry: what will happen to the Berazzi ladies ? will we lose these tasteful paddock adornments ? i am not sure how i could get on with life if that happens RuE |

More date changes, this time from the HSCC.
The move of the 23 Sept. meeting from Brands to Snett has already been mentioned, but now the date of the Silverstone Finals meeting has moved to 21/22 October. With all these diary changes sales of Tipp-Ex must be going through the roof! |

A few questions.
john, If TVR Granturas are allowed in fiscar, what about Tornados? Didn't hit the road until late 60/61, but I'm sure it was on the drawing board in the late 50's I wonder if PA decisions have been influenced by Brexit? Not defending the clash but the whole sorry state of affairs is already having an effect for many, particularly at the 'normal' end of the market. |

Re: Historic F2
The HSCC have issued a terse statement to the effect that they wont be bullied and are committed to Historic F2. Very good move, no drama, no naming names no accusations. The style of this is very British. Personally, I doubt if the adressees will catch the full drift as its a bit subtle. Personally, I like it a lot, especially after reading it a second time. I dont think this is Brexit fallout I agree with the explanation given Some Group C or Endurance clients of PA seem to be owning suitable cars and want to race more than one car at PA events RuE |

I agree with Simon's view.
But being a bit "glass half full", perhaps this just demonstrates the difference between PA and HSCC. It's a bit like MRL and PA, they both run similar categories but one is FIA sanctioned and the other is a UK centric organisation. So in the case of F2 can the two organisers co-exist? Seems to me that if you can afford to run a F2 then the chance of a few overseas events might be attractive. However if the calendars clash then perhaps PA doesn't have that same view. As to the Vote to leave the EU? Not sure how that impacts most of us since we can still travel throughout Europe, just the same as we did before Lisbon. Delta and Gordon probably have more experience than most with this. But in the context of historic motor sport in general I doubt there will be much difference. |

Peter, I think there is a misunderstanding the HSCC F2 series IS a Euro Series, there is only one UK round per year usually Brands Hatch, but Oulton this year PA can bring nothing to the table that is not there already RuE |

Joe - if I can respond to this one, the TVR Grantura was actually in production from 1958 with either the 1098cc Climax FWA or the 1172cc Ford side valve engines. It is only the early series cars that are eligible for FISCAR, not the hot rod (x-flow) MGB engined cars. There were probably several interesting cars that were on the drawing board in the late 50s but if they didn't make it into production until the following decade, accordingly they become cars of the sixties. |

As to EU matter again, I dont agree what You can do or not NOW is not the question the question will be how it will work IN FUTURE as this will mean bringing car from UK into and out of the EU there will be the full customs and tax impact of that AT BEST, you will need carnets again for the cars and tools to get in and out with no taxes paid and no bonds or deposits paid on entry on the assumption that you will take the car back this will apply vice versa for Europeans going into the UK also it would be one thing to get the car for instance FROM UK INTO EUROPE, it is quite another TO GET IT BACK IN dont assume that UK customs will treat You friendly because you are UK resident potentially you are evading taxes so they will check just ask a car/bike dealer about NOVA and the potential fines involved and this is NOW where there is no tax to paid importing a classic car from Europe but You can still get fined over NOVA if you dont register vehicle movement quickly And if You dont believe me.... remember Bernie had use his influence to get F1 spares out of customs this year in Asia ? UK will have similar customs status, so expect similar falllout on the other hand, there are FJ tour events all over the world with cars beeing shipped, so it is possible to do that, just into Europe with more red tape than before RuE Last edited by Rudernst; 8 Dec 2016 at 11:18. |

I suspect what will happen is that preppers will get more business because they will have the facilities and people to deal with the paperwork. But as it isn't going to happen for a couple of years, my position is that things won't change dramatically before or after the UK leaves the EU. The more relevant question is "will the EU exist in 2 years time?" |

The tax/import/carnet issue is so easy to sort. Just get road registration papers for your race car. Problem goes away in an instant. That way you can trailer through Switzerland too. The guards on the Swiss border couldnt have been more helpful this summer once they saw a V5C

Not all Touring Cars had chassis numbers. The TWR cars had a TWR stamp, they weren't, as far as I know, registered. Likewise the CC Racing Capris that had CC numbers. So that's where an HTP may be useful. The HTP bar code is as good as any chassis number. Caveat being that someone less scrupulous would probably find a way around it.

Thanks for posting the dates, Sam! Hard to believe the series has only been going 2 seasons, and good to hear it is continuing for a third.
Let's hope more XKs, Mk1s and Mk2s join the grids in 2017! |

I remember rallying abroad in the pre-UK-in-EU days - sure there was a bit of paperwork with carnets, but in practice no real hassle.......in fact I remember jumping out of the tow-barge to present all the paperwork to Customs and being greeted with "All done then lads? - on you go then", without a thing being checked. We were really cheesed off as we could have brought back a lot more duty-free.....
