Aside from the racing, there are a thousand stories to be told about Britcar folk - unusual pastimes, funny incidents, tragedy, comedy, hopes, fears, laughter, tears, and I'd love to find an outlet for all this. Features on teams, drivers, etc, even officials.

Would anybody be interested in reading this sort of stuff, and where could it be posted ?

that sounds just like the marshals forum

I'm doing a 2 month stint in North America at the moment, and they do love their enduro races over here, anything from 1 1/2 to 3 hours at a club meeting.

It's more fun for us too, we actually get a chance to blue flag for real.

i popped down to the radical racing yest in pembrey and it seems good racing, i can kinda call it enduro racing...

BSR,

Your stealth would be valid for the series but in the sister series called Britsports and the first race is at brands hatch indy on NOV 2 ND. This will consist of two 45 minute races. If you need more information call James Tucker on 01252 834377.

Britcar news from abroad !

VLN Langstrecken, Nurburgring, Sunday July 5th.

Britcar stalwarts TeamThink, in their Renault Clio, finish the 4-hour race in 106th position (110 finishers), completing 19 laps (the winner did 26).

Well done to drivers Woodcote, John Frankel, Andrew Frankel, and Meyrick Cox.

This team are always well presented, put on a good show of spirited driving, and are worthy ambassadors of the Britcar cause.

Is that a typo Martin? Just wondering if one of the m's should be a p!

People with pink cars should be careful making jokes

That wasn't pink - it was officially known as 'Dyno-rod van colour'! It has changed now though.

And how is the "Dyno Rod" lager swilling lout of a driver these days ?

Are you still doing Auto Italia ? Spoke to Tony Soper & Ron Davidson recently and still see a few of the Alfa boys that are doing the EERC, but other than that losing touch a bit with everyone else.

Been ages seen i've seen you all hope you are all well.

Everyone OK thanks Martin - hope you are too. KF does seem to have calmed down a bit - he's a father now so he's planning his sprog's karting career! No races yet this year - last time I spoke to him he was planning to race in the Italia at C Combe this weekend, engine rebuild & respray permitting. Cheers, Jez
