CSCC - Snetterton, 21/22, April 2007

Simon, I am not an expert by any means but the series seems to cater for original cars ( and I think that the Ginetta G12 is one such car), replicas such as the Cobras, Jaguar D Types & Stratos' and "continuation cars" such as the Crossles. I am sure that other on 10-Tenths can provide greater details. It's a series that seems to work very well, anyway.

Yes I agree about the Crossle - I think it is pretty and effective sadly trying to find a genuine pre 66 one is very hard - as Jon Shipman and Mark Hales soon realized ;-)

...and a very fine website it is, even if I say so myself
The series is for anything that is pre 1975. But the wording in the regs goes

It's originals or replicas and the wording is in the bit I have highlighted which allows the new Crossles with their modern engines and running gear to enter. So I suppose I could put a Sierra Cossie engine in my Dtype and be competitive but in my opinion it's not in the spirit of the series, just my opinion though.
BTW, the Ginettas are originals AFAIK

Excuse some of the incorrect labelling of cars, he's not a petrol head!
