Whilst I was at Autosport International yeterday I was able to chase up the MSA about where the club was on acheivng its desired Production Car status for Speed events.
I pestered John Symes (again!) and he says he will be writing to me within the week to confirm that the Speed committee have fully agreed to our request that the GTD40 be classed as a production car. This will allow GTD's to be run in Production Car Road Going classes or Modified Production Car classes in all future events. Once we get the letter!
However this does mean that the orignal aim of getting full production car status for all classes of motorsport has failed which is a shame but understandable given that the majority of GTD's were not factory built.
Once I get the letter from the MSA I will pass on to Paul Thompson for full publication in the GTD 40 Car Club magazine with the original copy going to Roy Smart as Chairman for inclusion in the club records. I will also post a copy to the Forum site for all to see.
