Do you mean class or overall?

Overall a Viper has never won.

Don't believe a Viper has won class either.



There. Question answered - what so I win?
(bet you can't answer my questions!)

Got back late last night, I met Rick, but didn't get to meet any other CAers who were about.

The Duller BMW. The road car was officially released 4 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago the team phoned up JT/EERC and asked to enter a car - a new car, the thought was that it was new to the team, not to racing.

Damn fine weekend, damn good weather and racing, gallery to come soon but a teaser can be found: here

It bugs me that the amarican le mans series has got 9 rounds and LMES has only got 5.i think for next year they should have 7.
1. Monza
2.Istanbul
3.Brands Hatch
4.Nurburing
5.Zandvoort
6.Jarama
7.Spa

what circuts would you like to have at
I personally wouldn't want a 7 race series, the ones we have are enough for me thanks. However, in the above list you are forgetting that the LMS forms part of pre-qualifying for Le Mans, so you could include that on your list.

2. Istanbul - are you serious? If it wasn't for the Tukish Govenment paying the series to go, they wouldn't.

3. Brands Hatch. Too small Pit Lane, you could never get all the cars/teams in there.

Spot on Neal. Everything was better at Donny than Silverstone, campsite, viewing even the weather was good which suprised me being so far North. Keep it there every year I say
While I mostly agree with that, the pit lane at Doni is the Worst one I have ever seen, It really is not suited to cars or endurance racing.
352  Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: Photo's Of Donington on: August 31, 2006, 01:53:06 pm
Finally sorted through the photos from the weekend! (and do about 30 other things!) Far too many to individually post here.

And extra Congratulations to Andy and the team for beating their own record today.

a release received this afternoon:
Quote
Bonneville Salt Flats: Today the record-breaking JCB DIESELMAX achieved a stunning 350mph (563kph)*
to break its own land speed record for diesel-powered cars set yesterday by Andy Green.

On Tuesday, JCB DIESELMAX became the world's fastest diesel when Green drove it to an FIA-sanctioned speed
of 328.767mph (526.027kph). Today he improved on that significantly with a new record of 350.092mph (563.418kph)
after two passes in opposite directions, within one hour.

Running soon after daybreak he recorded 365.779mph (588.664kph) on his first run and 335.695mph (540.248kph)
on his return, giving the average of 350.092mph (563.418kph).

As he was feted by his jubilant crew, Green said: "I am so pleased that we have got the car to 350mph which was
always our ultimate goal and that was with a slow start to the second run. There is so much more to come as the
car is pulling like a train and we still haven't used sixth gear!

"Today's record proves the potential we have always believed JCB DIESELMAX to possess. This is another great result
for a wonderful team and a testament to British engineering."

"350mph is a fantastic speed for a diesel-powered car. To have built the world's fastest diesel in such a short
timescale is a wonderful achievement for the JCB DIESELMAX team," said Dr Tim Leverton, Project Director. "What
is even more impressive is to set three records - 317.021mph, 328.767mph (526.027 kph) and
350.092mph (563.418kph) in only six days.

"Once again we have demonstrated the engineering and team effort that has gone into creating this
extraordinary car."

JCB DIESELMAX was JCB Chairman Sir Anthony Bamford's brainchild, born of his desire to showcase the extreme
performance of the JCB444 diesel engine which normally powers the company's backhoe loaders and Loadall
telescopic handlers.

After watching today's runs he said: "Yesterday's triumph was thrilling, and better than I had expected. Today's
surpasses even that. We have proved that we can do it, and we have the world's fastest diesel car and engine.
The JCB DIESELMAX team has worked at times in adversity and faced numerous heartaches with fortitude. These
record-breaking successes prove to the world the excellence of British engineering and teamwork."

*subject to official ratification by the FIA.

And they Still haven't used 6th gear!  Shocked

I'm not camping at Donington, but will stop by the campsite (or at a meet up) to say hi to all.

...The rumour is though that they are not allowing spectators to take their cars into the circuit. As I say its a rumour at the moment and if any one can shed any light on the subject then please do.

Will have a chat to the EERC media bod tomorrow (it's media day today) meybee he'll shed some light on this
