You're right Matt, but I know a lot of people don't like to publicise their email addresses on fora for fear of the junk that can get generated

Hello.

I thought i'd just mention i've recently acquired a Renault 5 from the Super Coupe Cup. It won in 2000, with Steve Alderton driving.

I've got some more pictures here if anyone is interested;

I'm going to be doing some auto-solo's next year and doing my National B race licence in it.

Gordon.

Nice to see Steve Alderton cropping up on here again - his old CRX is currently being made mint again! Couldn't bring myself to change the colour scheme though...

Steve bought that off Simon Baker (I think)who won the Super Coupe in 2000.

It was a real rocket ship and won most of the races although Linus beat him to overall victory at Mallory and I just beat him at Snetterton in the long race. He was recovering from a spin though!

Do you mean the CRX or the R5?

The CRX

Jamie G · 11 Dec 2006, 11:22 (Ref:1787828)

Well you'll be pleased to note it still looks the same (but has more power) and I still regularly get asked if it's Steve's old car!

**Snapper Baz** · 11 Dec 2006, 21:49 (Ref:1788369)

This was one of my fave' series and followed it for a good few years-great times and some decent blokes in it (well the ones that bought my pictures anyway!) ...Paul was one of them fortunately

That's why I've got so many photos

Incidentially, wasn't Steve Alderton's R5 purple for a while? I seem to remember he had it resprayed black because people kept mistaking it for the Pearsonomobile

Mark Bailey · 15 Dec 2006, 11:57 (Ref:1791337)

Welcome Gordon,

Good luck with the R5, always a good car like the CRX.

Let us know where you plan to race it once you have the Nat B.

I've got loads of your Photo's Baz. (blue and white crx at the time, now red/silver)

Looks like next year i'll just be doing sprints with a non race Nat B.

Well you gotta start somewhere

Another Super Coupe refugee here, Still have the G40 (must be the last one in the country) looking to run it in the pre 93 Touring cars, just waiting to hear if the car will be accepted as eligible.

johnw · 5 Jan 2007, 13:02 (Ref:1807411)

G40 see your PM's

I regret selling mine now. I only sold it cos Class C in DTRC was too high for me. Peter Wilkinsons 306 had about 120bhp on me with bags more talent and experience, i had no chance. Might have been a different story this year though cos he sold it, oh well!

You could also run it in the CSCC TinTops series. There's one or two SuperCoupes in that now - a CRX at least, and Peter Burchill's bringing a Renault 5 Turbo out this year I think

TorqueWench · 5 Jan 2007, 15:10 (Ref:1807560)

Peter can only bring out a turbo in the CSCC Tin Tops if it's a diesel - we had a diesel Pug last season (novice getting signatures - drove to and from circuit etc). I thought he was getting out his 1.8 Metro...

All welcome!

Chris Y · 5 Jan 2007, 15:15 (Ref:1807569)

Close enough

I did look at it but it said naturally aspirated only unless it was a Diesel??

Andy. You could always buy yours back, thought you were building the Corrado???

TorqueWench · 5 Jan 2007, 15:54 (Ref:1807606)

Yep - only diesels can run turbos I;m afraid

Unless there's ten of you who want a class.......?????

Hi, my cars a little hybrid. Started life as a R5 GTX fitted with a 16V head and webbers hence in invitation class. The car started life at Lydden and other sprint venues before I bought it from Ebay.

CCSC Tintops welcomes most cars but no turbos unless oil burners under 2ltr. We have a varied selection from Mini Coopers to ex touring cars Honda Accords and a selection of Britcar spec cars.

Clio cup cars are welcome but they are not allowed seq' boxes. The regs have changed this year to split classes to 8v 16v per engine size. It would be good to see some older cars come out and win classes to give the britcar boys a run for there money in the series.

Nothing like a 10-20 year old car showing up some modern exotica, thats what grass roots racing is all about, keep it simple, clean and fun.

Nice little find you have there, hopefully I will get mine to RTOC national so see you on track then.

Well worth getting your license and find a friendly series to have a play with as a novice you will get a warm welcome from most series, and the 5 should have some pace.

Good luck

Pete

Hi Craig,

I think you're right. G40s must be almost extinct now. Hope you're well, wife & family OK?

Cheers

Paul

G40motorsport · 5 Jan 2007, 23:17 (Ref:1807843)

Paul

Nice to hear from you, what you up to these days, how's Linus, still racing ??

nyssa7 · 6 Jan 2007, 08:03 (Ref:1807978)

Needless to say the G40 is eligible for the LMA Euro Saloons if you can't find anyone else to play with

COLIN STUBBS · 9 Mar 2007, 22:32 (Ref:1862671)

Whats all the Super Coupes doing this season then????? Im registered for Pre93 with a 216gti
