Looking forward to this meeting. Be odd not to be at the historic thing in Sussex but a weekend as a snapper isn't to be turned down! Fingers crossed you guys can muster lots of peeps for the day.

See you all there.

Jon,

Did you get any good shots of the LMA Euro Saloons race ?, in particular the Derek Hale Honda, racing at the front with the other Honda and the Noble.

BTCC watch out, this race proves that you can race quickly and closely without contact.

It was a great race to watch from our perspective, be interested what other people thought.

I've put up some video from the stand at www.nyssaracing.com

G.Walker · 3 Sep 2006, 14:11 (Ref:1700736)

Im not usually a fan of races where the front row are 9 seconds quicker than the back row, especially on the Brands indy..... and the leaders lap the rest of the field 2-3 times..

But from watchin the downloads it looked a good race. It seems the supertourers have found a decent home! Is that the ex Rouse Britcar Mercedes 190evo running further down the field???

nyssa7 · 3 Sep 2006, 14:32 (Ref:1700759)

That is indeed the ex Rouse 190 Evo 2 making his first race with the series

Hi Martin, I was in the silver Primera. Mean looking car that, sound cool too. Will you be brining it out to play at Oulton. Incidentally what does it have under the hood?? Rich.

jonbryant · 5 Sep 2006, 12:46 (Ref:1702296)

Incidentally, anyone know how to get hold of David Roberts who binned his Tomcat into the Paddock gravel? I swear he aimed for me...

Got to www.nyssaracing.com and hit the forum. We LMA'ers use that forum a lot. BTW great pics of his off.

martinlabatts · 5 Sep 2006, 13:04 (Ref:1702312)

hi rich,

its 2.5 litre N/A built by AMG

same spec when rouse had it, set up for long disatnce races, brit car ect,

running 2hr endurence slicks and limiting the revs to only 8.5k, but it was dynoed to 10k

rouse i am told with this spec was doing 50 sec round brands indi

so its all me and not the car!

when my co driver drove at snetterton a couple of months back he was in the mid 1.13 sec laps

so in the right hands its a superb machine,

hoping to have another go at olton park,

need to get some tips from my mate lol

Yeah I wouldn't mind some tips from him actually. I know what you mean about getting used to the car. I first bought the Nissan ST last July and was doing brands Indy in 54's. Haven't raced there until last weekend and now doing 50's. Reckon I could get it down to early 49's, with new tyres and less fuel. Reckon Reid could do a 47 second lap, he did a 44 pre 99 changes.

Sounds like the Merc will soon be well on the pace with the tourers.

We had a good race there with Alvin, until I cooked the Nissan. Have only jusst got it running properly again since then back in May. Is Tim Harvey "your mate"?

martinlabatts · 5 Sep 2006, 14:53 (Ref:1702396)

well sort off, lol

i lend him my car now and then,

met him loads of times and have had the pleasure of him driving me around donnington for a few laps in my car.

know rouse quite well with the cars ect,

i organised the 500 touring cars at donnington for the rs owners club show last year so got to meet all the drivers and had robb gravett/ harvey and sean walker drive my cars,

An original Labatts Sierra in A1 condtiion........fantastic. 90's touring cars were the ****** in my opinion, British, French, German just the best. Don't like these current tourers, the cars are dull.

martinlabatts · 5 Sep 2006, 14:58 (Ref:1702400)

here is the display from last years donnington show,

mine cars are the white ANZ, labatts and texaco cars
