The Silverstone website is rubbish at saying what's on, and the HRDC site is even worse........

Some big entries for most of the races I found? HTCC, various Sportscars and the Jag challenge all well subscribed.

Shame about the GT40s though. Bit thin.

14 quid to get in, kids free.

I'll have a bowl uv that!

An 80 minute race for 7 cars is a bit thin!

Indeed, but as I said the other races seem pretty well supported.

Trying to decide whether to trek back down there again on Sunday, as the Classic Alfa Challenge is running in the All Stars race, constituting over a third of the entry....though I only found that from a competitor....I find tracking down the entry lists on the MRL site baffling......

HRDC site is worse than MRL - apart from the 2022 provisional dates, everything else on there seems to be months, if not, in the case of the Classic Alfa page, a year out of date......


I've tried to attach the list my competitor friend has sent

Well that didn't work too well - it uploaded but wasn't readable....let's try again....

Looking at that, some interesting cars in a mixed bag. What is a Pandora SP. I feel I should know!

Could it be this car:


Roger Phillips:
“Our racing car (yet to be named) was conceived in the White Horse Pub, Chichester. There were three of us in this marriage that conceived the car; Tony Cowell, a Master Blacksmith of the old Wrought Iron School, who wielded a torch as an artist wields his brush, he even used to weld up speedo cables! Alongside him was Michael Homer, the son of a noted Selsey Lobster Fisherman and both of them lived a few doors apart in Selsey.

I joined these lads as the third of the ‘Three Musketeers’ as we were known, after noticing Michael’s much modified 850 Mini, which had all the Downton bits and went like a rocket.

[...]

Not wishing to risk my daily driver again (which had morphed into a Mk1 Cortina GT 1500) I was listening to Michael when he suddenly came up with this wild idea of building our own car. He was full of the news that there was to be a new 1100cc Sports Racing Class and he reckoned he could design and he and Tony could build a super low and light weight car to these new regulations using a BMC engine, which he reckoned he could put together with his brother in law’s help. I remember Michael saying that the regulations called for doors of a certain area and he had come up with the idea of making the doors long but low, complying with the area requirement but enabling us to build a ‘proper’ race car. At the same time, Mr. Chapman and later others were having similar thoughts, all unknown to us.

[...]

The arrangement between the three of us was that I would fund the cost, Michael would design the car and build the engine and Tony would do all the fabrication. We would own the car jointly and share the driving.

[...]

The Jackson company was growing and getting busier all the time, plus the commute from Selsey was a bind so Michael managed to sweet talk a wonderful lady in Selsey who had a lock up garage that she never used and she kindly offered it to us as a workshop. The lady’s name was Pandora and when the question of a name for the car came up we thought that would be a nice name, so PANDORA it was with the add on of ‘Powered by Austin’, (Austin sounded so much better than BMC).

[...]

Work and progress was slow though and so to speed things up I suggested we get our own premises and start up our own garage business which we called, ‘Pandora Motor Engineering’.


I would recommend a read of the full article - even if I've got the wrong car....

There was also an article in the 4 Apr 19 Autosport where the current owner Andy Prill reunited the car with Roger following restoration, and Roger had some time in the car.

Just a bit confusing as TSL have lost the leader. James Colburn's Alfa.....so Richard Merrell is showing as the leader.
