Just read the Autocar ‘road test’ of the JCB WFT (World’s fastest tractor). What they didn’t let on in the TV prog is that they built two Fastracs- the second that raised the record again was completely new and further developed..... When the mag drove it the power was reduced to only 500 bhp, as after the record runs the prop shaft was found to be suffering from the massive 1770 lbft torque. |

Now what is your gripe with the man, his drive to sixth in the BRM was pretty spectacular if I recall aright, before the engine blew. Were you turned down for membership? |

Might there have been a fairly high turnover rate back then? Perhaps regular vacancies and a need to keep up the head count? |

Talking of blunders . I’ve got a quiet evening out in workshop at home . Timing up one of the Toyota F3 engines and I dropped washer . After 30 min fishing with magnet I gave up and took the sump back off. Would you believe it this large washer even went under windrige tray . No way that was coming out with magnet . Time to go for walk with Delta dog Mylo .

Near miss of a LMP3 leaving the pits and then spinning into the middle of the track at Paul Ricard.

That was quite a while back now, I think he had a point. One thing in my time at Silverstone that was noticeable was the amount of ARDS licences being dished out, to members sons and daughters after maybe one or two race wins. It wasn't only me who walked away. 😉 |

New Profile Picture
I thought it appropriate to change my profile picture. Sadly this is not my car, I am not driving it and I didn't even take the (excellent) picture, but it arrived today and I thought I should parade it on here for the festive season...
(Bugger, it hasn't worked!) |
