I didn't say where "should I put" it in anticipation of that reply.

There will only be one bet on can do side!
Not sure there is a figure big enough for odds on failure. May be worthwhile running a book on weather the superstar gang turn up! |

Well, Terry, that's all very well but I still have a problem with this post, so I'm going to say it if no-one else does:-

John you have encapsulated our thoughts very succinctly.
I have to say I was not sure even about the 14 entries to 6 Hour but maybe that included times Terry was part of the support crew when he worked at CMS. Let us keep it factual or if a wish be open about it otherwise the thread will, like the race itself, be at risk of devaulation!! |

I assumed it was all just a big wind up. (The proposed 2014 entry, not the race!)

Stop press! First images of Terry's 2:42 car launched.
"Yes it's all a big wind up" commented Bower. "The car looks pretty hopeful, and my co-drivers (N. Oddy and B. I. G. Ears) and I are hoping to avoid the queues at the petrol station just as soon as we've built our biceps enough." Rumours of a lighting system powered by Fairy Dust still surround the mysterious entry which has been given FIA papers straight away. (Yes, it's a quiet day here in Racewear Towers) |

I've looked at the picture, and it is clearly a wind-up!
The key to it all is what is sticking out of the back of the boot |

Steady on Gordon, do you know how many times the car will need winding up during a six hour race? You could be in for a lot of hard work, and supposing you over wind? Can you imagine the danger of the spring snapping in a crowded pit lane?
How will the lap times be affected as the spring winds down? No! No! No! The whole venture is fraught with unconsidered variables, best let some other mug volunteer. (Mike Bell for instance) Amongst the factors that seem likely to cause serious problems is the effect on the aero as the key turns. One minute it's acting like a tail fin then it turns into a flat wing half way round a corner, the driver will not know what to expect at any particular moment. Ask yourself what would Chapman have thought of it? Mr. Grouser. PS; Why do elephants have big ears? |

Fear not Mr Bauble, the key unwind has been cleverly designed to be in synch with the big stops required at Spa. There is period precedence for this:
http://blog.modernmechanix.com/mercedes-benz-air-brake/ and the system has been fully approved under Appendix K. He's in with a shout if all goes like clockwork. Last edited by John Turner; 4 Oct 2013 at 08:39. |
