windy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 A colleage at work has bought Ian Stintons ex Le Mans Harrier and has been given some documentation about a championship which runs as one of the support races for the 24 Hr event in June. To do 3 races of a six race championship, one of which is held at Le Mans, all he needs is about 2.5K in entry fees + running expenses for the event. This sounds a bargain to me, what do you reckon? It's a race which will enable him to compete with the old Jags & the rotary Mazda's etc. Mulsanne staight at 200 mph - yes please! Maybe I should get my license upgraded to share the drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Graham The Group C support race entry fee is actually between £4000 to £5000 with the proviso that at least two other races shall be entered possibly include Spa and/or Nurburgring. So it ain't gonna be that easy for a £2500 Le Mans quick fix Support trucks and back up team are essential - additional safety measures are also being implemented due to high speeds and nature of the race + tis only a 30 minute race so shared drives possibly impractical Invites have been issued to all drivers that currently support the Historic Group C championship There are 2 WSCC members currently looking at options for entering the event Hopefully with some good fortune and planning we might just see a WSCC sticker or two racing down the Mulsanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stanton Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Dickie B would have to take a puzzle book with him for something to do down the Mulsanne I have seen Rolands Dutton driving on the Le Mans circuit simply awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I have to agree there. There are few more spectacular or evocative motorsport moments than seeing the Ratmobile being driven down the Mulsanne at full chat. Top drawer...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Scarfe Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 we might just see a WSCC sticker or two racing down the Mulsanne Stickers? How do you get them then? If you would like to send me some Mark, you could have some going round the circuits in England if you like. Not quite Le mans granted, but its all us mere mortals can afford.

neilwillis Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Would the ratmobile keep going for a whole 24 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 There are ways and means. I think when they do 2CV endurance racing (yes, honestly), they budget for a number of engine changes. It can be done in something stupid like 15 minutes (there was an article about it in CD). Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Would the ratmobile keep going for a whole 24 hours? As long as its got some spare brake pipes at the ready Also roland has a knack of setting fire to his cars when he feels like having a BBQ so maybe he should carry a fire extinguisher. Fond memories eh Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Fond memories eh Mark Sure are Windy - excellent memories - we must do it again sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I hope Roland doesnt race it, I want that car!. I asked the silver fox and he said I wouldn`t be able to afford it. I`m sure I can scrape a couple of pennys from somewhere LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 The Ratmobile will be returning once more for the 2004 Speed Series The car is an enigma A Leg-end within the WSCC - long may it continue Enigma or was it enema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 It's enigma. Must be. No-one but Roland understands........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
