Unfortunately low numbers are nothing new for Cadwell, back in the late 80s and the 90s I can remember racing there when most of the races were amalgamated to bolster the grids !

It's an interesting topic all on its own really. I assume it gave less power than the Chevy V8, but was significantly lighter so a better balanced car.

And it also sounded more like a Ferrari than most Ferraris did ...

It'll come as no surprise that the GA is possibly my favourite engine of all time.

A little bit about Cadwells history .
I believe it was first used as a racing circuit well before WW11 , which makes it one of the UKs oldest circuits as most of them in use now were built on old WW11 airfields . In the 70s I won the championship of Cadwell one year . I think it was from points scored over a number of races . But I was given a large silver cup which I then kept for a year . [ Can,t imagine that happening now ,] But the jewellers who engraved it said it was very old and worth £ thousands . I wonder what happened to that trophy as Cadwell was bought out in the 80s by another company . There have been minor circuit changes since then but it is still very narrow with not much run/off space in some places , but still one of the most demanding / rewarding circuits to race on . |
