    Le Mans Classic Track Laps

    Paul, I drove my Cobra in 2012 at LMC during the track session (I've been able to drive 4 laps of 13kms.). You can believe me I drove my Cobra like I never did it before. On the Hunaudière straight I was at 160/165 miles per hour. The track is very long and very large you can drive most of...

    Le Mans Classic Track Laps

    Paul, is it in September that you've booked your track laps or later ? Because if you booked in September you were one of the first ! I don't understand why LMC organisation told you that you won't be able to drive your car on the track ? So it means that all others that booked the laps after...

    Le Mans Classic Track Laps

    Hi Paul, Geert, From our side in France we've booked the track laps end of November in order to be sure to drive on the track the Saturday 5. I don't know when you sent your registration documents but maybe it was a bit too late ? OliveR

    Sprocket hubs failure

    Thanks Jac Mac. For info on 99% of European cars you have a pre-load spacer between wheel bearings. I cannot understand why SUPERFORMANCE didn't study/think about that when they started rebuilding GT40 !!!! Superformance is like other replica manufacturers: if you want a car with no problems...

    Sprocket hubs failure

    Many thanks for all your relies but: - my machine shop doesn't recommend to knurl the axle. For him it's a temporary solution. With different effort applied on the wheel bearings and the axle when running the car I'll met the same problem in few months. - for chrome plating I went to see a...

    Sprocket hubs failure

    Hi, Well I was about to replace on my SPF GT40 MK2 the rear wheel bearings by Timken wheel bearings but I've discovered why I had to retighten my wheel bearings 3 times last year. In fact the outside and inside wheel bearings spin on the sprocket hub meaning that the wheel bearings don't work...

    New Introduction to a new Community

    Hi John, Your message reminds me the same situation I lived 25 years ago. My dreams were American cars since 16 years old the first time I went to the US. I've been able to purchase my first Corvette when I was 23. I bought 2 others next but the goal was a Cobra. Of course I saw GT40 on...

    Le Mans Classic 2014

    Hi Tony, I'll be there too... I was there in 2012 with my Cobra and that's the 2012 edition that decide me to buy my GT40 (when I went to see all the GT40 in their reserved space). I'll drive with friends the "parade".. if we can call it a parade... if you start from the end you can drive as...

    Maintenance & Enhancements over winter

    Mike, just for info yesterday I just wanted to check the front radiator hoses and the parts (I don't remember the name in English) that you tight in order for your hoses to keep in place. 2 of them were a bit loose and when I tightened them they broke !!! I had chances I had some spares in...

    Maintenance & Enhancements over winter

    Rick, on my car I check/inspect bolts / rods / bearings / gaskets / hoses all year long. I compare the GT40 to an airforce plane: 1 hour to drive it / 1 hour to work on it (ok airforce planes require more hours to work on it than the GT40 but the GT is time consuming however...). I don't know...

    Maintenance & Enhancements over winter

    Grady your country is too large (but I'd really love to come to live and work there) !!! Some states are highly located in North and don't allow you to drive all over the year.. Whereas some in South could be too hot to drive too... Here in France it's a small country and as I'm living in South...
