Isn't this the kiddies race in the little GT40s & 250LMs or are you planning something else?

Working on regs at the momment, should have a draft set ready for the Silvestone 1000k. I hope a little sooner so I can post them here.

Drinking for Holland is definitly working on gentle preparations. Thinking of mailing a local cart centre for a wreck. A normal cart is too small anyway. Ít's gonna have to be enlarged both sideways as longways to look the proper thing. Thinking of making it all carbon fibre, otherwise the Dome will be way too heavy.
Feel a bit sorry for TeamJPC, they should reproduce an Aston ofcourse ;)

Bobblehat, I hope your specs will also include weight penalties for those teams that have the advantage of small members.  Team JPC and I is one of them suffer in the weight category, we could count our "light" members on one of Rotti's thumbs.

Bobble hat many thanks, its not the minimum weight i worry about i doubt if any of team would be under it, except maybe zippie.

also why aren't you examing the members member?  Surely we should have a properly issued racing license system with full medicals, have to make sure the drivers are correctly motivated and fuelled.  Maybe with Tropicoma?

Better buy your carbon fibre fast, prices are set to triple, 'cos Airbus is buying every meter of the stuff they can get their hands on to make the new double decker plane.

I thought that was the whole idea! ;D :p



and as for the carbon fibre, if too expensive we'll replace it by plaster board - and use fast drying wall filler for the difficult parts ;)
