Saw one last week at Farnborough, but without being taped off. Couldn't believe the sharp edges on the winds where they meet the bonnet grille. A few people picked up on it.

Stupid vehicle. 
I can only assume it’s been built as a proof of concept.

Even worse from back end 😅

@Alex Gaskin is there as part of the INRacing team with a number of cars they either own and race themselves, or look after for customers. Alex has been putting some hours in this last week or two to prep some of these, with engines out etc.

 

Cars to look out for are:

Race 5 Stirling Moss/Whitmore Trophy

#26 Lotus 15

#85 Lister Bristol

#133 Cooper Bristol

 

Race 7 and 18 HGPCA

#10 Cooper T53

#21 Cooper Bristol

#33 Cooper Bristol

#36 Cooper Bristol

#43 Cooper T43

#117 Cooper T53

Certainly cheer for #21 as that is Alex's boss Ian Nuthall and #10 Will Nuthall, both very quick drivers.

 

Also look out for Ian Stinton #155 in a TVR Cerbera in Races 9 and 17 Masters Endurance. Ian is an ex-Westfielder who used to own a brutal blue V8 similar to the Flymo. Might still do.

Hi Howard ...... Ian has just had to install a new driveshaft into the TVR this week after it failed in testing at Donington, way too much power LOL. He still jointly owns the Blue Beastie along with Neil Clark - it is for sale and was originally built for Tim Coventry to compete in the British Hillclimb Championship with a John Eales prepared V8.  His TVR Cerbera was previously owned by Martin Short and competed in Brit GT and then a few other championships' with a change of livery, Ian has restored it back to original spec.  It's a very bright almost luminous green. 😁

I do like the old Rally stuff, reminds me of my Cars and Car Conversions days 🙂

 

Interestingly the Quattro Sport was driven to Farnborough, because we saw it broken down on the hard shoulder. Really thought something so special would've been trailered.

Thats about it for today, I’ve not yet been into the pits so that’s for tomorrow.

This looks like a fantastic weekend, how does it compare to Goodwood FoS?

It has been a tad windy today as you can tell by club flags 😅

Never been to FOS but it’s in the bucket list.
