Drifty think that a well set up and driven F1 car from around 94/95 is probarely the route to go to win in Euroboss as Earl Goddard 4L Reynard 95D, Dave Hutchings Benetton B194 and Patrick D'Aubery Benetton B193 have proved in the past. I think Nigel Greensall in a Benetton B194 3.5 V8 will give Klaus in his 1998 Benetton 4L V10 hybrid more than something to think about this weekend...........

Sorry, but can you tell me when that happened ? I obviously must have missed it ?

U cant get engines for more than half these cars
software is not available so u need to design new programmes

a cut off date for TGP has worked well for 10 years

It's called progress isn't it? Otherwise everyone would still be racing Maserati 250Fs.

flatbroke · 17 May 2007, 15:47 (Ref:1915412)

So you are saying if someone had 2004 car you would not let it enter?

Do u really think Euroboss has lots of entries that they can afford to turn people away?

You can now get Cosworth TJ engines but there is nowhere to run them.

Very late question but could not get through to donnington park - what time would i need to get there on sunday to avoid traffic and get a ticket. Was thinking of getting there about 8am ish - driving from Yorkshire so 2 hours to get there with bit of brekkie.

Thanks in advance!

driftwood · 19 May 2007, 14:38 (Ref:1916745)

Good, as I missed 2nd race. I'm just back to home, after 8 hours of travel

, it was a really good event

Euroboss serie had another tough week end with an accident at the start of first race, but I let Christian tell you more. I'll be back tomorrow with photos

Thundersports · 20 May 2007, 22:24 (Ref:1917538)

The accident in the 1st race was caused by Eddie Mclurg moving across to early just after the start, however the second race was excellent and the best of the entire weekend!
It was a shame they lost 3-4 cars through mechanical problems in qualifying but the second race still had about 10 cars.

dwf1 · 21 May 2007, 12:16 (Ref:1917919)

There was a great drive by Nigel Greensall in the 2nd race. Just remarkable. Brilliant drive by Klaas in race 1 and a good weekend and two good drives by Jodie Hemming in the Jordan. Theres more to come from that car........

benjabulle · 21 May 2007, 12:38 (Ref:1917937)

I saw Jodie for the first time at Hockenheim and found she had changed quite a lot at Donington

Marcel ten Caat · 21 May 2007, 23:06 (Ref:1918431)

Christian,

I might have missed it but apparently the Assen round is off (to keep the raceweekend within the sound limit regulations).

Do you know more?

Where is that info from-does that mean champcar is also off? Need to confirm my travel plans soon.

dwf1 · 22 May 2007, 09:06 (Ref:1918580)

also does anyone know where the next round will be? Ive seen its not actually confirmed yet!

Marcel ten Caat · 22 May 2007, 10:07 (Ref:1918633)

@Rob29: ChampCar is 100% GO...it's just that with ChampCar, German F3, Dutch Supercar Challenge (like Britcar) and BRL V6 they seem to have a lot of loud noise making cars.

EuroBOSS would mean they exceed the noise limits set in the regulations.

Until today we do not have any information that our race at this event is cancelled, but there are still the rumours that the whole event has a 'noise problem'!
...and do not forget please, we have with Frits van Eerd (Jumbo Supermarket) one of the main sponsors of Robert Dornboos in EuroBOSS!

That is a good question!
Some drivers say the 9 weeks break is ok (especially the drivers which have damaged their cars in the start crash`s) and some other say 'it is too long, we want a race'!

I will give you the news first, when we have a decision!

ok thanks Christian.....because Ive heard places like brands, sliverstone, Zolder (again), paul ricard, etc all metioned for this extra race. Wouldn't mind it being in britain

BOSSman · 22 May 2007, 16:23 (Ref:1918883)

Would not like to bore you with old facts about this event, because you can read here at 10/10ths some interesting and good storys about GPlive 2007.
Yes, there were many problems and things which must be absolutely changed for a 2nd edition of this (actually) good event idea, but there were also some positive points, especially both EuroBOSS races!

I say (and many other) our 2nd race was the best of the whole event!
Very entertaining, close fights in the midfield and a fantastic drive from the pitlane to Pos.1 of one of the EuroBOSS "Greats", Nigel Greensall!

Also again two very good races of Jodie (3th/4th) and after his not-start at Hockenheim (home accident where he had some ribs broken) now a perfect start into the 2007 season with two 'Master' class wins of Karl-Heinz Becker!

Good to see Eddi McLurg and Colin Stone back in EuroBOSS, but also very sad for Peter Alexander that he could not find a possibility to race with us this weekend!

You can find here all the results:

http://www.msttiming.com/barc/2007/72022.pdf

...and here from our friend Remy (www.gurneyflap.com) some good pictures and short EuroBOSS@Donington race notes: (Thanks Remy)

http://www.gurneyflap.com/eurobossdoningto.html

(Klaas Zwart drove the qualifying session, but after a problem with the paddle-shift gearbox on his Ascari Benetton he changed to his 'ready for action' ex-Alesi Ferrari V12 from 1995! Unfortunately, for the first race the Ascari Benetton was repaired and therefore he must start from the back of the grid, because he had no time with this car!

The Ferrari qualifying time was a !57.972!, usually the 2nd start position!

Zolder we have two races this year (4/5 August and 25/26 August)!
Paul Ricard (28/29 July we deleted)!

Brands or maybe Thruxton would be my personal GB favourites!
Monza would be also a good place for a EuroBOSS race...

You have it right there.....the second race was brilliant!

I think Thruxton would be too dangerous however good it sounds. The date was I was looking at was the time in june that is TBA.....Brands would be good! or if we're going with Thruxton, how about Oulton Park or Croft?

Thundersports · 22 May 2007, 17:09 (Ref:1918923)

Only 3 circuits in the UK that the MSA would sanction a Euroboss race and they are Brands, Silverstone and Donington. The rest are far to dangerous for these cars and spectators.

benjabulle · 22 May 2007, 17:13 (Ref:1918928)

Thanks Christian for the quote, after Hockenheim I had another good time with the Euroboss meeting and ALL the GP Live event. If you see Christian on a Euroboss race, just say Hello :

dwf1 · 22 May 2007, 17:14 (Ref:1918931)

yeah I guessed that....still would be good round Croft.....

have it at silverstone that would be nice!
