Hmm,
Did they have gaffer tape in the 30s? |

We did of course lighten the car significantly by dumping ballast fluids.
But that is a whole other saga of LMC folklore. |

Thinking about period correctness ...
The HSCC Silverstone Finals HTC race featured a number of Lotus Cortinas from which I expect, based on previous evidence from Silverstone albeit in the "Old Days" of Bridge and the previous incarnation of the Complex, some 3 wheeling as well as something vaguely resembling (or better) the odd four wheel drift/power oversteer. Especially through Copse. Well, the power oversteer drifting was observable but no wheel waving was spotted. However in the Guards race a rather splendid TVR Griffith seemed to be 3 wheeling Copse on every lap. I wondered if it may have swapped identity, under the skin, with a Cortina. |
