There was that 'rumour' that a single car was being built but it may have turned out to to be the car that went to Australia. Only 3 or 4 weeks to go and almost all will be revealed as testing starts.

Is that car that went to Australia the Andrew Howell car?

I thought the bike engined car was a design exercise and that it was never commissioned.

As for "almost all" being revealed - fingers crossed that ALL is not revealed as that might be a frightening sight!

It is going to be a busy week-end in March - on the Friday (23rd) I'm at Stoneleigh, on the Saturday it's Loton and then on Sunday a trip over the Pennines to Harewood!

Should keep me out of mischief!

I have heard that there is a new bike Engined Gould coming out for this year, but who is it for? There are a few drivers that spring to mind though.
Gould have been at this car for a few years now and i bet they are very pleased to be getting it out now. I have to admit that i`m looking forward to seeing it.

It's a tough market, Force, OMS, GWR, now Gould. Those lower capacity Racing Car Classes should be pretty lively

Does anybody know who's driving these interesting new beasts?

New Gould

If it were to be built for the Moyse,s Gould sure would have there work cut out for themselves to make it quicker than the Mallock

Eh?

So Gould with ten consecutive British Championships will have their work cut out? Come on, you don't think with their experience that Gould cannot make a car that is quicker than a Mallock? Force & OMS can so why not Gould. Brodie and Darrens 1000cc Force has outperformed all the Clubmans cars in 2007.

I used to go faster than most of the clubmans cars in the Caterham

The new gould should be pretty well sorted when it comes out, as you would expect.

I do think that the use of pseudonyms, unless the user is known to everyone on the site or puts their own name to their posts, is a bit cowardly. I do use one myself at another place but everyone knows it is me.

Getting back to what Dave originally said - I have to agree, he was generally quicker than the Clubmans cars at the time but remember most of the records were held by a certain M.Groves who was quiet quick at times!

I suspect that the Moyse Gould will take a while to be competitive for two reasons: (a) time will be needed for them to get back into the swing of things, and (b) getting the best out of the new car. I wouldn't be too surprised to see at least one of them in a TOP TWELVE run-off before the end of the season.

From past history, I suspect the time it will take them to get into the swing of things will be measured in most of a practice day. These are seriously quick and competitive and I don't expect the car will be much less so. Goulds have enough experience to get baseline settings on it from the off, so unless there's something surprising in the build it could be within tenths of it's pace within a few week-ends. Given development time there's no reason why it shouldn't do in the classes exactly what it's bigger brother has done in the seniors.

What would surprise me more is if no-one decided to rise to the challenge as there's some very talented builders as mentioned above. This has the potential to be the most keenly contested and exciting class on the hills.

When I interviewed Ron Tauranac last year he mentioned that he was designing a bike engined HC car. Will be interesting to see what happens, but even though Ron has an association with Gould I am not suggesting a link.

Way off topic, but Ron Tauranac drove my Yamaha engined 'Hitech' at Curborough a few years ago at his request to see what a bike engined single seater felt like. Gave me a Ralt carbon rear wing and £50 for my trouble!

And what were his thought about your car? He must have been impresed...it may have sown a seed.
