sorry duplicate post!

Sorry to pop the bubble, but the Derek Bell who had the GTD Lola T70 and was responsible for Quaife making the UN1 gear box kits is NOT the Derek Bell of Le Mans and F1 fame. Just a clever bloke who made and drove a rather fast car with the same name. He did get John Surtees to drive his T70...

According to Eddie Jordan, today is the day an announcement should be made stating that there is a new major stakeholder in F1 and that Bernie will go! We shall see.

It was a deliberate move and Nico was full of BS in his excuses for it. What annoys me is that the lower formulas will copy this sort of move. They don't have the same level of safety in their cars. Then it eventually moves into club racing. The driver briefings I attend are always full of...

There is a little bit of right in everyones response above because as we are all remote observers and likely not involved enough to know the full detail we are imposing our own viewpoint on the gaps in our knowledge of why the decision was taken. My first hand experience is that when a person...

And our stock market just closed today on a 10 week high. I was in Rome last Friday morning. Whilst it was an insignificantly small sample of people spoken to, the feeling was, if the UK can stand up for themselves then perhaps we can too. It is interesting to see the American style of...

Yup, but never saw that as part of the Leave campaign as part of exiting the EU.

Where is it please?

Can anyone explain how that circuit got sanctioned? Most of it reminded me of Indy Car road circuits (which is fine) but some of it was tighter than a tight thing gone through the wash on a very hot cycle!

Re: Proud Of Ford Winning LeMans Today! Not everyone sees this as clearly as you do! Remember Ford did not sell any cars prior to taking part in this event so had to apply for a waiver which the other teams gave them else they would not have been allowed to come out to play. Add in the...

My neighbours gardener fell off a ladder and landed very horizontally and won the local hospital award for the most fractures in one accident for his 12 broken ribs and 6 vertebrae. I was amazed at how quick they discharged him so hopefully Alonso will be back up and running again soon. I...

I don't think it possible to put a GT40 body on an R42 without monumental alterations that would be irreversible. The chassis are nothing alike. If you start you may end up with two dead project cars, an R42 and a GT40 replica. IMHO of course! :-)

Shine can last. I have a GTD front clip which got damaged and replaced in 1992 and has been sitting outside ever since and it is still shiny! 4 inch tubes? Wasn't that the tube size on a cobra?

Definitely not GTD standard plate pictured in the first post.

Dropped the KVA GT40 off this morning at Brooklands. Lots of nice stuff there! GT40s.bot picked up this sale thread so hopefully I am allowed to just repeat it here? 1969 Ford GT40 Mk. I Recreation | eBay

Week Monday

I have been asked to help transport the MK1 KVA to the auction. I have never seen a KVA built to this high standard or with careful choice of parts. It is very impressive. Also intrigued to see how it goes as it is miles above your average KVA standard.

Don't Hi Spec make a hand brake calliper now?

As Graham says, rose joints and heat shielding should make it work fine.
