French Historic Championship - Further Update
Quote:
The Kent/Zetec web site does not show the Pau event in its calendar, but does list the Paul Ricard Event. It continues also to list a potential Spa event, undated. The site doesn't comment on whether the listed events are all part of the championship. My guess is that the Historic FF1600s have got a grid at Pau, in whatever program has been assembled outside the Historic Tour, but there won't be space on the grid for the Kent/Zetec cars, whereas at Paul Ricard both groups will fit onto one enormous grid as they did this year. Hence the Zetecs/Kents are trying for a Spa slot at the Summer Classic. Makes for an interesting set of Euro-racing opportunities for us elderly FF1600 racers (I'm not sure if I refer to cars or people, or in my case - both) |

The 2022 edition of the Thruxton Historic meeting will take place over the weekend of June 11th & 12th. At the moment the HRDC have been confirmed.
Near neighbours Castle Combe have brought forward their Autumn Classic meeting from it's traditional first weekend in October date to September 24th, firstly to avoid a clash with Spa and secondly to, hopefully, avoid the diabolical weather which has plagued four out of the last five meetings. |

If you intend to race at Magny this year, entering via the YTCC grid is interesting, three races of 30' each.

Interestingly the BRSCC are not coming to Mallory in 2022.

What is a “historic outlaw” and I wonder why Bernie has switched away from 750mc?

I think it's aimed more at the cars that used to race in the Anglo American Challenge that have nowhere else to race, although the NASCAR / ASCAR / Eurocar V8 type cars will also be eligible if they comply with the spirit of the series.

Seems official now, the french Mazda championship aka Roadster Pro Cup will go to Francorchamps during the Spa Summer Classic, 24/26 June. Probably not a dedicated grid but more likely merged with YTCC Colmore friends. We expect c 34 RPC competitors running the Toboggan des Ardennes.
Terence, will you be there? Need your help to find the perfect apex… |

Andy, words are missing to tell you how much I understand. He who never tried to overtake a GT3 under heavy rain while driving a Caterham doesnt know what "to have a moment" means!
We have few infos ATM, but if this is a one hour race (in fact may be 65') we should be allowed to have a co-driver. If you're interested in, let me know and have a talk! PS: my race seat is fixed but I remember you're tall too. |

No worry, I'm not a works driver either… The best I did this season is 5th/35 entrants. Seems the gap is around 2 seconds per lap at Charade compared to the very best. Not the world to sawllow, everything will be improved on the car, mainly brakes and lsd, less the engine. If my memory serves Spa is not that hard on the car but demanding on the driver.

It's mutual, Andy - on the odd occasions when we got Caterhams mixed in with Future Classics - years ago when I was in the 944 Turbo - it was unnerving to have them appear from nowhere on "impossible" cornering lines....had to adjust the mirrors down to ensure we could see them appear |

A Caterham is faster than it appears in the mirror, Richard! May be they should fit an aerial with a small flag on it?

This is exactly the reason why, during an open test session at Brands on a Saturday afternoon back in the mid 60s, a future F1 WDC who was testing an F2, told me off for parking in such an effing stupid place. I had been pottering around, minding my own business whilst running in my newly built engine and testing one or two other things, and driving along the pits' straight I checked in my mirrors to make sure I was free to take the racing line into Paddock and saw nothing. To my surprise after beginning to drive up the rise to Druids tight on the left hand side of the track, I could hear what sounded like a screaming engine to my left and out popped in front of me, having had to take to the grass, was said F2. I was mortified about what had just happened and extremely sorry about what I had done, but his words were actually said with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes and we had a really long chat in the paddock after the end of the session. And remained on good terms for many years to come. |

See Group C is back at Donington for the Historic Festival courtesy of DH Rofgo.
Great to see a race in the UK after some time. |
