Glad you are Simon. I'm not entirely sure about the censorship you refer to (I wasn't involved) but I don't think it was about the view you held (with which there was much sympathy) but probably more about the way that you expressed it. Anyway, please get involved here, if you feel so inclined!

no problem, (my skin is probably thicker than most!). Back on the topic... ProSports are now accepted in the Britcar Championship, and from what I am told, I will not be the only one out there Seems a shame to me that such a good/economic/reliable/nice looking car get's so much grief.... |

in that session we ran with well over 100litres of fuel (don't ask!) so the car could have gone quicker. Around a tight track the car is more competitive as displayed here http://www.msttiming.com/result.asp?...brandsindy.gif Basically the car a really good. If I had the funds I would do a full Britcar season in it but I already have comitments in Group-C and LOTRDC. |

Hi, newbie here, just signed up having come across the Prosport 3000 comments.
If of interest to anyone I am intending to take my Prosport 3000 spyder to Silverstone on June 5th for a track day. This is not the Daytona 24 hrs car but the other one! Bought it as a track day toy and love it although I think I will fall out with the FT200 box soon enough! Just having the gate narrowed so hopefully that will make it a bit easier to use. Awesome car to drive, the grip is brilliant. Keeps up with virtually everything I have come across so far through the corners but power down to pass those wretched GT3s on the straights. |

When Prosport was set up the test driver was Eugene O'Brien but they decided to get someone else in, Gerry Marshall!!! We spent the day at Snetterton bombing around (after the short man had spent three days there) and ended up a second quicker overrall. Eugene then went off and brail drived a 405 into what he could over the season and Pro Sport (like Multisport before it) didn't quite take off. |

If u dont want ft200 i can supply FGC
these cars really should have had them fitted the ft200 cwp was not upto the v6 motor torque and would often wear them out |

Re Eugene O'Brien my lasting memory of him was trying to nudge me out of the way in a Top Hat race at Donington. I and several others complained about his Tin Top driving standards and we never saw him again in Top Hat, shame - NOT! |

ProSport - LM3000
Hi,
I've always looked for information and news about the LM3000s as my father used to race them (Tom Reeve) Since being taken to the tracks and watching I've become very interested, I talk to him quite a lot about them and he has a huge interest in bringing them back and he'd love to drive one again. I just really want to know what has happened to them, all I know so far is that one original was sold to a guy in Denmark... Any basic information would be greatly appreciated, also if you have any questions I'm sure I could pass them on. Cheers |

If you want to see these cars in action at Mallory Park & Zandvoot look for a movie called 'The Road to Dusty Death' based on a Alistair McLean novel I think-where they masquade as F1 cars!

My grandfather - Geoffrey Reeve directed that film and my father produced it, he also did most of the driving along with Dave Brunsdon. |

Funny.. it's my engineer that found this thread comming alive again..
Chassis nr 06 is alive and well and with the original 320+ engine. It has been difficult to find anyone with knowledge of the setup for this car so all last season was much uphill, the ECU was also in the woods, beeing determind it was -60 degrees outside, but that was fixed with a new Kronenburg ECU (free)(Stickers) Over the winther we have done a lot of work to the car, and i is ready now for the first outing at Eurospeedway in lausitz. Happy Racing Mikael |

I saw 3 Pro-Sports 3000s at an RMA Trackday at Brands yesterday. I couldn`t quite believe it!! - almost as many as used to race when I used to watch them in the early `90s!!
Whilst on the subject of Pro-Sports, but being a little off-topic I suppose.... Do any Pro-Sports 3000 stalwarts on here know whether current Formula Renault driver Tom Armour is any relation to Phil (?) Armour who I remember driving Pro-Sports 3000 cars in period?? |
