Just like to second the fact - it was a great meeting. It has been a long while since I have wandered around a paddock as friendly and hospitable as it was Saturday. I went to see the Super GTs but thoroughly enjoyed trying to identify some of the older cars!
If only some of the teams in other championships were as spectator friendly as the Super GT competitors.
Apparently the next Super GT is at Oulton, anyone know of any others yet?

Wouldn't the Super GTs be better in with the Britcar or Britsports races? I know that the cars might need adapting for the longer races but it would lead to one extremely strong series rather than two weaker ones (the last Btritcar Oulton round had to have Britsports & Britcar combined).

I'm not sure Britcar would be able to accomodate some of the cars, according to Autosport the next SuperGT meeting could well include a Lister Storm and a Jaguar XJ220 - which is really annoying because the Oulton Park event is on my birthday, and I'll be at Silverstone for the LMS meeting instead! Been aching to see a Storm in competition again, particularly nationally.

How did the idea for this series come about, anyway? There was an Autosport article a week or two back and that was the first I'd heard of it. Kinda came out of the blue really, from my perspective.

I'm sure that James Tucker can make the rules in Britcar accommodate whatever cars he wants!

I think that Super GTs grew out of the old Class A of the AMOC Intermarque challenge. I think that Class A (for highly modified cars) was succesful for a while but grids eventually dropped. More recently it seems that owners of these cars are keen to develop the class again. Old wine in new bottles? None the worse for that but I still think that, given the relatively low number of these sorts of cars that their are around, and the expense of running them, the cars could find a home in Britcar/ Britsport.

Moderators, Shouldn't this thread be merged with the Snetterton AMOC 30 June one on the Historic Racing Today forum?

[John Turner]

Probably no need to merge, but here is the thread, for those that don't go to the HRT forum:
