On Wednesday, Andrew, Glenn and I fly out to the States to visit Ron and his friends and to race in the 13 hour Charge of the Headlight Brigade at Virginia International Raceway in a Spec Miata (MX5 to the rest of the world). Ron is also racing in this race as well as having prepped our car for us.
Julian and I did this race last year with Ron, so I won't bore you with details as I did a write up on the forum back then under "Virginia International Raceway adventure with RTP racing" in the Racetrack section.
This year an even bigger event with a huge grid of over 80 cars on this fabulous 3.25 mile circuit. And now it has become a touch more exciting as it has been announced that the Derek Bell is racing in a Mazda factory supported Spec Miata. So not only do we get to race on the same track as the 5 times Le Mans winner but we are in a privateer version of the car he is driving, spec for spec meant to be the same. That should be interesting to say the least!
Mylaps.com may be running the lap times live on the internet if you wish to follow and this race I shall do my best not to kill any engines!
And for next year the Aussies have declared their hand in wanting to field a team as well so we need to create a Tri-Nations cup for GT40s.com racers!
