Classic Racing- Cape Town, Soth Africa
- Thread starter Johann
- Start date
If I'm not mistaken that's the meeting that David Piper and a few other Europe based cars and drivers were out for last year? Certainly the Mclaren and green Lola are not local cars to my knowledge.
The equivalent meetings this year is the coming weekend at Cape Town, was in Pretoria last weekend.
Some local knowledge here

Fred & Johann,
A fellow forum member & Aussie GT40 owner is currently in SA running in series of three classic meets. He's running in the Formula Junior class with his Stanguellini.
Keep a look out for Norman.

Hi Adrian
Thanks for the note.
Glad to hear the Formula Junior is a good show, they run in East London (300 km from me) this weekend and if the weather is good I may drive up for the day on Saturday.

A friend of my Editor/Publisher of Classic & Performance Cars Africa Fred Phillips is driving at EastLondon with a V8 Supercar Class build by Owen Ashley from Cape Town ,
So, I went up and was glad I did. Got to see quite a few great cars. The weather didn't exactly play along, being overcast with a few showers, but all seeming to be enjoying themselves.
The formula juniors had 21 cars entered, making for an impressive grid
I said Hi to Norman (in yellow shirt), and he told me quite a bit about his lovely car. Being one of the oldest cars, the long straight and wide open nature of this circuit did not suit the car.

I didn't chat to Fred, he was pretty busy running both the V8 Super car, and a historic F1.
The V8 supercar was very well turned out, being brand new.

Local classics ran as well. When last did you see a firenza beating a GT40?
V8 engined firenzas were build in period in SA and the "Can-Ams" now have a cult following here.
