Looks like Camberely will have to get the crowd control out then.
My brothers more of the aggressive driver on circuit . |

Seems it not only UK circuits that have battles with locals over use and noise. Lime Rock (Connecticut) is trying to get some Sunday racing agreed after many years of it being banned.....

Nice video! Just put it together with some images of Le Mans 66 le film and you understand that it will be soon mandatory to yell at other drivers when taking over!!! She's not shy…

This is what’s needed to tow a race transporter. V24 2-stroke diesel powered. Just the price it sold for that’s a bit unbelievable.....

They'd have to invent an electric dad to bump start it first!

They're knocking on the door. There's several electric arrive & drive centres, but the karts are by necessity large and heavy. They need to be more nimble yet.
That said, there is an owner/driver style race series in Europe for electric karts and Rotax (major kart engine players) are at the forefront of the tech. They're part of a massive leisure engine manufacturing conglomerate, so they have the clout. It'll happen for mainstream stuff, British/Euro/World champs, but there'll be a strong 2-stroke following as long as there's petrol available. |

Always annoys me when the media twist things by missing out or adding stuff, but I’d expect Motor Sport News to get the facts regarding Masters 2020 HF1 and WSM calendars right!
According to their headline, ‘Historic Formula 1 and Historic Sports Cars will tackle only 3 meetings next year’. Nowhere do they mention that there are actually 7 events for them, it’s just that only 3 are for the FiA Championship. Poor journalism...... |

Yes, if you followed the recent posts on here about the car in my avatar, it shows the enormous value of that site...

As we all guessed would happen, the scrapping of paper tax discs has resulted in an increase in the amount of untaxed cars on UK roads. It’s actually TRIPLED, with a loss of £94.1 million in the last year to the treasury! But scrapping paper discs was projected to save the government £10 million per year..... |

I think they sought/seek in-period images. My usable back catalogue in that respect was quite small so I have not had any additions to offer since then. Last edited by grantp; 28 Nov 2019 at 10:43. |

As, to his knowledge, he had never left them he was a tad puzzled. It transpired that in previous years he had simply gone with the auto-renewal but for the last year they had dropped that and expected a formal renewal. He had not read the document in depth and it was not pointed out in bold letters as a change of renewal policy. So he drove around for a year completely oblivious to a lack of cover and entirely by 'accident'. The following year, or it might have been the one after, the car was written off in a quite severe accident on the M1 when a truck ploughed into the line of queueing traffic he had just joined at the scene of an accident - early hours of the morning as they were returning from holiday. It was fortunate that the insurance renewal cockup had not been repeated. |

Grant,
I had precisely the same non auto-renewal experience a couple of years ago. The consequence of my inattention was pointed out to me by the West Wilts M$ patrol. I had been driving for 8 months without insurance. Blood ran cold at what the consequences would have been if I had injured/killed others in an accident. No warning from the insurance co of the change of renewal terms after 10 years on their books. I changed insurers next time round. Nick |

And so you should. Auto renewal is a curse on the wallet. Every year I go through at least one of the comparison web sites and save a fortune on the quoted auto-renewal. Several times I've statted with the same insurer but as a new customer, and saved £££

Max you're very lucky to do so. Here, they make everything they can to trace your ex-insurance company and suggest a minimum decrease. You have to cheat to avoid them to fool you. A kind of unpleasant hyde and see game. More or less the same the airlines companies use to make ip tracking. Said to be illegal in France…
