In answer to both, I should be out in a Grantura, privileged to be sharing with the owner. Having said that, I would be up for a go in a Grand Sport!
Ed, please introduce yourself at some point. If you have previously, then my apologies! If all goes to plan, we will be a GTSCC box with 2 SLRs & TVR, plus several others, no doubt..... |

It looks as though it will be a really good end to the European season, a lot easier to get to than Paul Ricard and oodles cheaper than Daytona!! E |

Any racers still hesitating on whether to go, pretty sure slots on most grids available and some spaces with the pro transport chappies. If you need any names pm me..... |

Will you cant go wrong
You are down to drive both of the 356's I understand from the worlds susposed no1 UK'ish piolet that the disc brakes cars are at least 10 secs a lap quicker round Spa so let's see. Of course that's rubbish! |

Enjoy yourselves. We were unable to sort out logistics so it's a week on a Spanish beach for us. It's a great circuit and I really hope we can go back next year.

It seems it is virtually impossible to get Avon tyres for B8 for CER race at Portimao.
Mike Bell,Andy Newell and few others have tried to help but nothing until end of next week . Anyone have any ideas? |

Final instructions received today, and guess what- we were promised Thursday for testing, but now find that McLaren have got sole use of circuit up to 1400hrs! And while they are using the place, no access for us....
If they don't let us in to get unloaded Wednesday (after 1600 vaguely mentioned) I guarantee a riot...... |

They have hired the circuit so the historic gang should be ready to be disappointed!
French will probably get in! |

But yes, does sum up some of the frustrations of racing there! This will be my seventh attendance at this meeting and the big problem is always getting into the circuit on arrival! Reading into two different sets of final instructions, it looks as if there will be 'paddock access' Wednesday eve. Hopefully that will be full access for trucks trailers etc. Then no access Thursday until 2pm, so anyone wanting to test in the afternoon will have to be there wed eve or get a wiggle on after getting in thurs...... At Barcelona this April there was a track day on the same day as we arrived to set up for the weekend, but they just positioned the track day cars and crews away from the garages so we could get organised. It ain't difficult. Maybe the word 'McLaren' is the difference this time.... |

Well, a large percentage of the Algarve Classic grid is floating across the channel at the moment- first stop Roscoff, then mad dash across the bay of biscuit to Spain.
Making most of free wifi before more than 3 people try to use it at once and it grinds to a halt..... No brekkie until 0730 and haven't found anywhere to get a coffee or bottle of water! Lot of rude things being said about the circuit taking a booking for an exclusive track day when was supposed to be the test day for our race meeting. Will be interesting to see how it all pans out. Sea is flat calm so far, just the way I like it..... |

Looking forward to Mikes report on trucks entering yesterday and some of the unusual antics of scrutes today!
No idea what will happen when things are really underway. |

We sure did have Argo getting in . 6 am this morning I was marched of the track . Did not mind as I spent the morning on the beech and in the sea . I've told all my lot that after 7 years I've had enough of Portimao and hope we can look for somewhere else in the sun to finish of the race season . Still the girl
At singing on made up for all the ***** at the gate and she knew about back to the future date yesterday . |
