HSCC - Mondello - What classes are traveling?

Masser · 28 Apr 2004, 06:56 (Ref:954196)

I would be very interested to know what classes from the HSCC are travelling to Ireland for the HSCC/British GT meeting on 7th -9th May.

The HSCC website calendar states that all but three classes will be in attendance (Derek Bell Trophy, XK's and Formula Junior sadly not travelling). I also see from the FIA website that the Historic Grand Touring Cars and the European Challenge for Grand Touring Cars (not sure what, if any, the difference is!) are due to race.

I heard yesterday that there is a draft timetable somewhere and its states that there are only three classes from the HSCC (HSCC A, HSCC B and HSCC C)

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Don't ask me what the British GT's have to do with all of this!!

Thanks

I know Historic FF's will be travelling, word from Cadwell was at that time 12-13 entries so far

Ted Walker · 28 Apr 2004, 07:56 (Ref:954250)

The single seater race will be a "mixedgrid" of CLASSIC RACING CARS & F.FORD.

PaulSands · 28 Apr 2004, 08:10 (Ref:954266)

a bit like last years Six Hours of Spa then

Ted Walker · 28 Apr 2004, 16:24 (Ref:954812)

Paul thats correct,only we wont have a grid of 52 !!!!

Ted Walker · 29 Apr 2004, 17:45 (Ref:955928)

It seems as though the grid will be a very small one,with probably a sparse 12 runners.

Masser · 30 Apr 2004, 06:20 (Ref:956404)

Ted, this is not the news which I wanted to hear, but I must admit that I am not surprised. It is such a shame that the orginisers could not have left it as a full HSCC event and ran the rest of the classes at another time.

Regardless of that I will still be there.

Ted Walker · 30 Apr 2004, 07:23 (Ref:956480)

Masser. I agree . I think someone moved the goal posts.

PaulSands · 30 Apr 2004, 08:15 (Ref:956532)

I thought we were looking at 12 historic ff's with a matching number of classic racing cars?

Ted Walker · 30 Apr 2004, 12:12 (Ref:956785)

Paul that WAS the plan,but its not now a Classic Racing Cars Champ round,only F Ford

PaulSands · 5 May 2004, 10:28 (Ref:961312)

So who is going then?
I am, I'll have to take photo's of the family by the sounds of it

Masser · 5 May 2004, 12:21 (Ref:961411)

Paul, I was going to ask the same question. I do hope a reasonable number of classes and car make the trip, it would be so nice to see good grids of "proper race cars"!

I am sure your shutter will be kept sufficently busy with the GT's. Please excuse me if this is stupid question, but have you been to Mondello before?

PaulSands · 5 May 2004, 12:25 (Ref:961414)

I went in 1978 (I think) as pitboard monkey with Frank Sytner to a non champ Sports 2000 race..I suspect it may have changed a tad

Masser · 5 May 2004, 12:41 (Ref:961430)

Paul, I think I have sent you an e-mail! my first time to do such a thing in a forum so if you don't receive anything let me know and I'll resend it.

Gist of it is if you need any assistance over the weekend please do wander by.

PaulSands · 5 May 2004, 12:47 (Ref:961436)

got it and replied

So Friday is more than just GT's....bugger

What are the Irish Historics?

Masser · 5 May 2004, 15:33 (Ref:961594)

The Irish Historics are mainly made up of Mini's, MG's, Porsches, Sunbeam Tigers, the odd Lotui etc. The website is www.hrca.ie. Normally produce very good and close racing.
