Dont like bringing bad news to the foram but it looks like they have pulled the plug for Jim Clark next year. Hope this is not a sign of things to come. Keep smiling.

dr46rossi · 20 Dec 2008, 12:15 (Ref:2358790)

jim clrak would not be in hockenheim, next year.
They are lookinf for an other place.
at the the moment they are looking for lausitzring or Zolder, but i think the jim clark revival has to be in hockenheim

delta · 14 Jan 2009, 08:52 (Ref:2371173)

Looks like its back on at Lausitzring. Me and Compte were one of the first English teams to go there. Its a long way not far from Dresdon but a fantastic facility.

I was told by a reliable source that the only reason for it being moved was because they could not actually fit it in to the circuits dates,nothing to do with financial problems at all.

That's what I heard from Ronnie - something to do with the DTM taking the Jim Clark Revival date. In any event, at the risk of appearing lacking in taste, my English teacher told me, that in the English language, you could revive an event (eg Goodwood) but you could not revive a person unless you were God!

That's possibly the same in any language.

What about Harry Potter then?

compte deGraves · 14 Jan 2009, 16:00 (Ref:2371401)

Marcus, don't be obtuse. Everyone knows that Harry Potter is fictional

**Peter Mallett** · 14 Jan 2009, 16:16 (Ref:2371405)

Noooooooooooooooo, really? What about that Anglia? That's real surely?

delta · 14 Jan 2009, 16:23 (Ref:2371409)

Naaaaaaaaaaaa. Terrance said it was all done by trick photography

smokystove · 14 Jan 2009, 16:24 (Ref:2371410)

Here's the official scoop copied from their site regarding change of venue:
"JIM CLARK-REVIVAL, cannot take place at the Hockenheimring in 2009. Since we already had to give up our traditional JCR date (the last weekend in April) to the DTM in October 2008, we were now “chased away” from our second possible JCR date, 14.05. – 17.05.2009 once again because of the DTM."
And here's a link to the offical release of the new date:http://www.jimclark-revival.com/file...JCR%202009.pdf
Hope you make it gentlemen, you'll have a 10/10er egging you on from the grandstand.

You'll need a VERY long arm from that grandstand at Laus*itzring.

delta · 14 Jan 2009, 21:48 (Ref:2371648)

When we finnaly arrived at the track i was so pleased the first thing i did was to play my Moody Blues CD and play air guitar to the empty grandstands.Excelent.

esper · 14 Jan 2009, 22:26 (Ref:2371672)

did HE drive at the Lausitzring. Or is somebody organising history??
But to me , Hockenheimring thats sadly enough pretty much Jim Clark I would

dr46rossi · 15 Jan 2009, 11:20 (Ref:2371919)

there will be the jim clark revival (on Tour) at the lausitzring at 14-17.5.2009.
On the first date from Hockenheim, know the Hockenheimring makes a own event, the "Hockenheim historic- In memotry of Jim Clark"
www.hockenheim-historic.de
kind regards

Henrik Pedersen · 18 Jan 2009, 11:45 (Ref:2373813)

Isn´t this the same old story?
1:An "amateur" get a bright idea, and it works.
2:A profesional promotor want to have it.
3:"Amateur" wouldn´t give it up
4:Lets push him out.
5:We make the same concept, same place, another name

Not very sympathic in my book, but hell, thats life: The strong eats the weak

delta · 18 Jan 2009, 13:01 (Ref:2373854)

Im going to keep quiet on this one Henrik it might just work in our favour if they invite us less high profle racers. Any idea Marcel on what formula are being invited to Hockenheim.

Henrik Pedersen · 18 Jan 2009, 13:38 (Ref:2373866)

I quite understand.
Any promotor worth their money, look at these pages.
But they must also know that they have to behave decent, because sometimes things are too clear.

I reserve both weekends, just in case we´re lucky.

dr46rossi · 19 Jan 2009, 09:59 (Ref:2374305)

we want to talk this week for the Hockenheim classics. If there are interesting !racing! seriers (i think they would make less racing and more concours d#elegance etc)it would be interested for us.

i will inform when i get news
