What GT stuff would that be Mark?

Mark Griffiths · 24 Feb 2010, 09:27 (Ref:2639568)

Spa Britcar, Hungaroring 12 Hours and Dubai 24 Hours.

I've got quite a full programme planned for this season too, but I don't want to give up on oversteer, skinny tyres and opposite lock.

zefarelly · 24 Feb 2010, 10:54 (Ref:2639609)

youmean smokey old bangers Mark

aren't reliable modern cars a bit boring? I mean you don't have to push them or anything!

terence · 24 Feb 2010, 11:29 (Ref:2639629)

They virtualy drive themselves Zef,but the shear speed is awesome.

Mark Griffiths · 25 Feb 2010, 09:39 (Ref:2640218)

The Aston has 420 bhp, paddle shift etc. You can't chuck it around because it just chews up its tyres if you do- you have to be very smooth to get the best out of it. It's a different kind of driving but it's a lot of fun. Like I said, I'm not giving up on historics, mainly because I enjoy going sideways.....

zefarelly · 25 Feb 2010, 11:54 (Ref:2640287)

good boy!

delta · 25 Feb 2010, 21:34 (Ref:2640569)

Hey Mark does this mean you are giving up the beer as well

.Paddock will not be the same without you and your crew.Good luck anyway.

Can I ask a rookie question, please ?

Where do I enter the 6 hour race ?
Can somebody please post a link ?

Is this something that I could do with my 1971 Porsche 914-6 GT ?

Thanks
Rudolf

Possibly, you could ask to enter into the Eau Rouge Trophy,I'm sure Vincent would be pleased to speak to you: 0032477467269.Good luck.They are looking for a more European entry this year,[getting fed up with the Brit's!

Give up the beer? Never!

Here's the new toy which should be appearing at Spa (and elsewhere).

I approve

terence · 27 Feb 2010, 14:07 (Ref:2641513)

That looks gorgeous Mark,too nice to race!

Al Weyman · 27 Feb 2010, 15:06 (Ref:2641534)

Beautiful, beautiful, I had one in red once as a road car with all the bells and whistles including HiPo engine 4 on the floor and disc brakes and the fast back looks SOOO much better than the notchback. I actually started to prepare a fast back years ago for the original ASCAR and I had a great shell, I am annoyed I never saw it through, I then started with a notch back and sold that on, silly boy.

zefarelly · 27 Feb 2010, 19:21 (Ref:2641629)

tiydee (welsh accent, can you tell?)

only comment would be remove the number plate and put stick on white letters, less weight, less drag and it'll match the roundels

for free style tips, ask Zef!

So Mark you are LT Bullet.

I am envious .

Mark Griffiths · 28 Feb 2010, 10:05 (Ref:2641867)

TY chaps. All credit should go to Sam Smart for building such a nice car.

terence · 28 Feb 2010, 10:38 (Ref:2641880)

It doe's look lovely Mark,did you get Sam to fettle out the 'Shark Gills' either side of the rad grill,helps quite a bit with grabbing some extra cooling.

john ruston · 28 Feb 2010, 13:46 (Ref:2641953)

Are you brave enough to share it with Hopeless?
He's got Yank Tank experience you know!

Al Weyman · 28 Feb 2010, 13:54 (Ref:2641955)

But wont be legal, (said as a registered number plate supplier

)

Mark Griffiths · 28 Feb 2010, 16:17 (Ref:2641991)

Top of the list is my good mate Bill K, definitely in for Spa (assuming we get an entry but I don't see why not- we've done the race four times now) and all other planned events. After that we'll see.

zefarelly · 28 Feb 2010, 17:32 (Ref:2642032)

form an orderly queue!

But wont be legal, (said as a registered number plate supplier )

I'm sure many 6 hour racers loose sleep wondering if their number plates are legally displayed

terence · 28 Feb 2010, 17:56 (Ref:2642054)

Number plates aside,I think some should be thinking in terms of conformity for this year though.

If you are talking about the number plate on the Mustang, it would be legal (said a registered MOT tester) you should tell your plate supplier he's wrong Al.

delta · 28 Feb 2010, 23:22 (Ref:2642308)

Hope you get in Mark. If so I'm going to watch from the chicane to see how much tramping and tyre smoke comes off the rear wheels.
