A great result today for Iain Pretty's RF117... Iain's car ran a 1-hour enduro at Sydneys Eastern Creek Raceway. RF117 came home first, against some strong competition including VW GT3 cup cars, Lotus GT3 and a couple of Honda powered Loti. I am very pleased for Iain and this result. Years...

G'day all. If anyone is attending the Melbourne Grand Prix meeting, please keep an eye out for us in the Australian GT Chapmionship races. We will have a two car team (Me and my brother, Dave) racing in the "Challenge" class, which is for the Non-FIA GT3 spec cars. We hope to give some of the...

Hi All, Our own, Iain Pretty is racing RF117 against porsches, ferrari F360 and a haggle of Loti. My car is a 1997 Lotus Elise with a supercharged honda K20 2 litre engine. We run a 6 - round sprint series in conjunction with a 4 - round 1- hour enduro series. First round was last...

We made our race debut in our Louts Elise race car this weekend. The meeting was State Championships for Production Sports Cars. This is the category which Iain Pretty is building his GT40 to run in. And similar category to Ross Nicol, but in another State. We had a great weekend, facing up...

Looks like Adrian Newey has a tyre blow coming into chicane at 180mph !!!!!! What a tragedy. Driver is ok apparently.

For those of you who want something different than boring old BRM or Halibrands, how about these.......

Here is a link to a video of my brother's Lotus Elise, on road tyres, out dragging a GT3 Carrera Cup car on slicks. Needless to say, the Porsche crowd were not ammused! Dave's car is a road car, and we have just become the Australian agent for these Elise kits. We have just installed a Honda...

Well a few poeple have been asking about how my turnkey RF GT40 is going. S0: * This car is Roaring forties' first 4.6 Cobra engined car. * When i ordered the car way back in April last year, the plan was to take the car through a full ADR (Australian Design Rules) compliance process. The...

Can someone tell me if the Roaring Forties headlights accapt "H4" style globes? I have an opportunity to buy some Xenon H4 inserts at a very good price, and was wondering if they will fit my car (when it arrives).

My son, turned 3 last week, wanted a GT40 cake. He loves cars like i do. So we had a crack at our first "scratch-built" GT40. I think the term "artists impression" should apply..

Does anyone know if there are problems with the club shop e-mail address? I ordered some shirts a few months back. I have sent a copule of e-mails but not getting responses.

A friend of mine told me that a Queenslander has purchased an ex Mark Donohue Lola T70. I would assume the Sunoco can-am car?? Any Qld'ers got the inside story? That will make a great friend for Rob Sherrards T70. Cant wait to see BOTH on the track together.

For anyone interested, the link below is a video (27Mb!) of me in my Hayabusa powered clubman on the weekend at Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney. For the locals, the lap was 1:41.2, my best for the day was 1:40.7. Great fun! 2 laps in Tim's BUSA_7

GT40\'s racing in Sydney Aus - when? Here's one for the historians. I just got hold of some original b&w photo's of two GT40's racing at Sydney's Amaroo Park. Judging by the "Holden Dealer Team" jacket and proliferation of large moustaches, my guess would be mid-late 70's.

[ QUOTE ] Hey Tim, I was fascinated by the story of your Hyabusa powered clubman,that you related to us in Pete's bar. I am sure other members would be interested. How about posting a few pics and the history of the build? Sorry if this puts you on the spot. [/ QUOTE ] For those who are...

Dont have a real one yet? (like me ), here's how i fill my time waiting......... A 5.5m x 2.7m mezzanine in my garage. I keep my Lotus7 rep. underneath, on it's trailer.

For those forum members living in New South Wales (Australia), i have a set of custom white rego plates with " A_GT40 ". They are brand new, and still at the rego office. I dont need them anymore as i have ordered a different plate for my car. I DONT WANT ANY MONEY FOR THEM, i just want to let...
