- Me - GTD40
- Roy Smart - GTD40
- Julian Kingston-Smith - GTD40
- Martin Weigold - GTD40
- Andrew Fordyce - E-Type Jaguar
- Julian Bailey-Watts - Aston Martin
- Steve Havelock - Corvette
- Bjorn Arnils - Viper GTS (Supercharged) / MG SV?
- Nadine Geary - Viper GTS (Supercharged) / Cobra Daytona Coupe?
Probably others but those are the ones that I'm aware of.

Paul, is this the same Julian Bailey-Watts I've seen at Goodwood some time ago driving a light blue 40? That was a nice car! Don't know why that stuck in my mind... |

He now pedals an Aston Martin in door-to-door racing and recently won his class so is on a bit of a high at the moment. (and who would'nt be )
I'm really looking forward to seing his Aston, I've always liked them and funnily enough, I might have some 'Aston related' work on the horizon too.

Thanks Paul, now I know why it "stuck", the big chevy power. Most unusual. | |

Tim and I will be competing in the Handicap Class - still 1 signature away from an 'A' licence - with the RF '40, which should be ready by then.

Chris | Excellent! - nice one Chris.
I sort of figured you'd most likely be there, esp after using the 350z last year as it sort of gives you a taste of the fun/atmosphere but was not sure.
Look forward to catching up on things..

Julian | Have a good time Julian - I'd have popped along for a look-see but will be at Oulton Park with the TVR Griff so will catch up with you at Brighton.

Good luck to all the guys driving at Brighton, I will not be there as we are at Brands Hatch for a Sprint Championship round ( which Ian is leading ) . Could anyone tell me about Roy Wings entry of a GTD41 with a 2000 Turbo ? Frank | |
