I suppose if the lockdown is still going there will be another date in lieu...

For the Jubilee?

You can have a day off for my 70th birthday in May 2022, but I would very much like to be at Monaco Classic.

Having given up my contracted parts washer earlier this year, I've just invested in my own . . . .any recommendations of fluid to use ? have had solvent and acqeous, both have advantages/disadvanteges . . . I do have a heating element, which works well with acqueous.

Cheers John. Mine is 2023 so I can return the offer then.

Bit of a way off yet, Iain, but are you likely to do Monaco in 2022?

I think my Monaco days have long gone now John . I would love to have one last go but I can’t see the FJ or F3 cars being invited back . Never say never . Then it’s the entry fee . I can go to NZ and race for three weeks and still have change . Might get asked to spanner so you never know .

Look forward to catching up with both you and Dr Bob again.

My perfect trip would be to take the Lotus 22 to NZ. Race north and south islands and then get car over to Oz for Phillip Island. That's all after racing in the northern hemisphere with Lars.No then, how do I get this pass Mrs Delta.

[Colin McKay]

Easy. Buy her a ticket

[Lancsbreaker]

Last episode of Bad Obsession Motorsport's Bargain Racecraft just issued today (for patrons) you'll have to wait until tomorrow if you're cheap - where they donate the car to Mission Motorsport at a Remembrance Day service - a grand gesture that will hopefully help raise more support for this good cause.


I've enjoyed this series - hope they can get back to the usual idiocies soon

There is room in my garage for your car as soon as I take my camper van out for the next season.

And I have got a nice summer house by a lake where Ms Delta can spend the weekends while we are away racing.

[delta]

This all sounds perfect Lars.

Not to mention a side visit to Mount Panorama Bathurst...and its nice little museum Enjoy!

PS: PI also has a nice museum over the back of the track and a Vietnam Musee if that is of interest...Arthurs Seat old Hillclimb and Charlies 50s themed cafe and Musee near Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsular (Vineyards etc) would also be another thing to do...

Hopefully delta I will have a busy racing season in the UK and Europe next year from late March, depending on your COVID situation. Mrs drbob may not let me go if it is still rampant over there.
Back here the PI Classic, although not confirmed yet, will be 12-14 March , given it is always a week before the AGP. So if you are not in an open wheeler for PI maybe you can use my Bathurst 1000 Group C Torana A9X
There is talk of a V8 Supercar round at Bathurst at the end of February 2021. It’s possible Group C/A TC’s might be invited. Usually we get an invite to race as a support category at the Bathurst 6 hour race which will be 2-4 April 2021, but hopefully I will be over with you guys then.

Don’t forget at the moment , with no indication of when it will change, you will have to quarantine on arrival in Australia for 2 weeks.

I'd worry about getting it past Mrs Arden first then worry about Mrs D. Daughter's getting married and the way it's going it looks like we won't be allowed in NZ any time soon so we may miss it.

[drbob]

delta the Phillip Island Classic dates will be released in a couple of days and they are apparently Friday 5 March private practice, Saturday 6 March
I qually session and 1 race, Sunday 7 March 2 races.

COVID-19 BREAKING NEWS.
Men who race motorsport are now thought most likely to carry the Corona virus without showing any signs or symptoms.
The best course of action is to avoid women and children to prevent the spread of the virus.
Workshops sheds and Garages have been recognised as the safest self isolation areas by the World Health Organisation and you must now self isolate for 14 days.
Ensure you have with you, your laptop, PayPal details and plenty of tea bags and milk. In the event you cannot finish that random project you’re working on, take the opportunity to tidy the garage in peace, reorganise tools, or simply plan out the next bonkers idea or plan.
