Here I go again!
I can confim I have a place in the same team as last year with a view of COMPLETING the 24 hours of Silverstone this September. Last year we were just plagued by engine problems traced back to the cam shaft supplier. All engines have been rebuilt and tested and we are go!
The car is just being sent to Germany for its race engine and box install before coming back here to be final prepped for the race. This year we should have the car back early enough to do two test days prior to the race to iron out problems, something we did not get time to do last year.
John Clonis (team owner) is driving again but our other drivers are expected to be two full time race instructors and/or a friend of mine, Matthew, who has five 24 hour races under his belt and claims to have lapped the Nurburgring roughly 3500 times (a mere 50,000 miles!). So again, I have pretty good team mates with more experience than me. Hopefully with reliability sorted I can learn a lot from them.
The car is the same spec as before namely a 993 Cup Car, 350 bhp and 350 lbs of torque. No Ross, it is not a VW!!!!!
The picture below is taken from last years race (early on!) as I exit Bridge.
This year my sponsors are Menzies accountants, Brackenwood Windows, Fairweathers chartered surveyors, J Shepherd Ltd construction company and Allsigns sign writers extraordinaire! I am very pleased to have their support, some for the second year running!
I can supply entry tickets to those who wish to come and watch/support and I have started a thread elsewhere to see if we can drum up enough interest to put on a show of 40's for the race organisers.
