Just spotted a bit of GT40 memorabilia comming up for auction Monday 6th december. The Bonhams auction is at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, but you can bid over the net if you can make it there. Also other interesting non- GT40 items.
Lot Details
Hi Matt,
Like you're planning, I had my 40 for my 40th, certainly not a regretable thing to do. Mine's a GTD, greatly improved by some bits and pieces from Fran. Anyways, welcome to the forum, its a very friendly and knowledgable place indeed.
It was quite a fun day out, despite slithering in the wet, and we helped raise over £6000 on the day.
Here's a couple more vids made by the same chap, Peter Farrow(Ex.BBC camera man).
First one is Viper vs. Audi R8

I drove this 'circuit' last year, which is a coned out airfield that includes a long 160 mph straight and a few twisty bits and a couple of chikanes on the return. It was certainly a fun day out. Its open pit lane, so you can stay on track all day if you want to. Good value for money, just dont...
Hi Jason,
It would be very nice to meet you and see your GTD if you bring it along. I don't know what other cars are going to be on track, but as it is a test day, it could be quite an interesting collection of race cars. If they can get past the noise test!
Nadine and I are doing a test day at Goodwood 7th April with the Comp Coupe. There might still be available places? You'll need an ARDS licence or sometimes they might let you do it on a Speed A-open. Its 105db, 5 car sessions, £250. Give Goodwood a call if you fancy some track time or come by...
As always, Malcolm, it would be great if you can make it. My 40 is unlikely to be ready for this date, but the Comp Coupe is always up for a 'thrash'. There's also been some interest from a few Corvette owners, so it could turn out to be a nice gathering of Detroit-metal!
I needed to do something to get over the misery of not doing Manx this year, so just booked trackday with Gold Track - UK Motorcycle and Car Track Days - Silverstone - Brands Hatch - Oulton Park for 14th May, Silverstone GP circuit (105db). Please come and join the fun. You can book via the link...
