Pete Alexander DOES have two OX6's in his workshop. I know he is a great fan of Oxo's cars and has a great deal of respect for Oxo for not only driving and designing his own cars but building them and being competitive too. Pete is an FF nut and I know he has a penchant for the slightly unusual marques of car and loves to try and make them competitive. I know he also has a lot of respect for Tony Mundy, they are good griends and he has the last car that Tony built. Last time I was at Petes works he was wanting to run Ox6 in COB for himself...OR the Jamun...OR one of his old Swifts...OR even drag a Macon round!!! He wanted to do all of them!! I know he is desperate to get back into the cockpit more regularly. Pete was telling me that Chris Hall had expressed an interest, as had Chris Glazier and Andy Stapley and he had spoken to Trevor (He calls him Farmer Stiles!) and Brett Francis!!!

Anyone actually know for sure where Johns car is these days? I know it was the ex-works Niko Palhares car (the one that nearly won the Festival before conking out?? or was that a different year??). I tracked it from Hardisty to Richard (?) Pennington but lost trace of it after that.

Sounds like the RF90 I bought from Trevor and then sold to Ireland without ever having driven it?

I don`t recall it ever being Trevors to sell. It was Johns car, RAN by Trevor. Last thing I remember seeing Trevor run in was a flourescent yellow Van Diemen (82?) FF2000 car about a decade ago (presumably at a Festival). Quote:

If there really are any potential Champion of Brands racers out there, there is a Double Header race on Sunday 16th August on Brands Indy Circuit for 1600 Kents.
Why not enter and show if there really is a glut of FF1600s' in the Brands catchment area just waiting for somewhere to play. Any interested parties can enter the BRSCC Midlands South / Webcon UK Club Formula Ford races. To make life easier, you won't need to pay a championship registration fee for a one off. Entry Form available from www.brscc.co.uk Click on Club Formula Ford on the Home Page. |

Brands 16th AUG 09 TV coverage FF1600
The BRSCC has arranged for a series of races to be televised and shown on TV later in the year. The FF1600 races from Brands this weekend are included. (approx 12 minutes of footage per race) The quality of the production crew and the voice over for the commentary has been carefully chosen and should be top quality.
There are a few spaces left for this weekend. Apply to the BRSCC. (one off races are available to non registered competitors.) The weekend will include garages, TV coverage and a chance to run at BH before the festival. PRESS RELEASE about the Festival will be next week. So if there are 50 + C o B comeptitors out there, hurry! Peter Daly |

with the 2010 CoB now announced and a rumoured "over 50 enquiries made" how many actually have cars that can race in september?
I went to brands last weekend to see Ffords 16 cars raced mostly Ray 05/7 models and VD2k 05 version but 2 VD88 where having a good dice SEMSEC 12 at Brands meeting has open wheel libre race a good enough reason to run yr car at brands who is up for that? |

Just an update on the 2010 Champion of Brands.
Things are going very well and I have a selection of dates to work through with MSVR next week. I hope to be in a position to announce full details around the time of the Festival if possible (or early November). James |

Could we maybe start discussion on the inclusion of a Club Duratec "class" within the champion of Brands series? If allowed I feel there are a few people that would enter cars, myself included.
