Cant remember about 356's gearbox except that the mounting is a kind of chassis brace. We have a prep here adapting Bimmers steel synchs and baulkrings in the 911's units. But I guess that you car, and probably many others, have no secrets for Dad! You personal targets are 3'10" and 177 kph. Dont disappoint us, Will…

3'10" is already fast given your engine displacement.

Yes, already published: https://www.peterauto.fr/evenements/spa-classic/
From the right menu "Liste des engagés Spa-Classic" you can open each grid. The Sixties' endurance grid is stunning! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ayymi9r9n2...entry.pdf?dl=0 81 cars and 10 reserve! |

Seems its the first time Fifties Legends grid counts 36 cars. Follow the Porsche #49 https://www.dropbox.com/s/q27v3y82la...entry.pdf?dl=0

Best luck and fun to all entrants, not forgetting the SLW E Type #88 with its brand new aluminium engine block.

Looks a great entry
Formula 3.5 legends gaining momentum. Hopefully they are more reliable than at Dijon |

All good so far…..free practice is 30 mins for the 50s series, interrupted by full course yellow then yellow flags then red flagged early. We got one flying lap each, so hopefully still speed and time to come!
Didn’t envy the 60s - it was way past my bed time before they even started their quali session! |

Only to keep the marshals busy… The 60s had many yellow flages and FCY too. Have fun!

Everything's fine, Will? Take car at the start, the Mini #19 driver is quite nervous…

All still good. Sadly Dad’s part of quali was interrupted by full course yellow, so he didn’t get a decent lap in, which then impacted the average time calculation across the two of us for grid position - still will give us something to recover in the race!
