Westfield GT 5000cc "Flymo"

...not long after it competed at the Silverstone round of the Brit GT championship...it was booted out - official statement was that it was not a true GT car with doors etc...

Mark,

Seems a bit hard to understand when at least two Caterhams took part in GT3 in the same race, or did they receive the same treatment?

Harsh yes perhaps - the caterhams were not any threat to the big players ;) and were not beating them in same manner as the Westfield - It is the way the Brit GT Championship worked then and has done since - as with most championships a team enters and signs up to the rules and regs - if that team has been deemed by the organisers to have "broken" those rules then so be it - it is simply a commercial decision.

Good write up that from Team Pugwash Andrew, some excellent captions "Large Toilet Rolls Are Presumably Needed By The Westfield Drivers" & quotes "Being a quiet car, it would have passed if tested" :d

What it needs Kurt is a sensible but quick :t-up:  driver to take it to a few events with For Sale emblazoned on the side. Best advert you could get ;)

 

Seriously folks i had the privelidge to drive the Flymo at TyCroes last year. Superb machine and still very competative against much more expensive machinery.

That's not a bad idea Mark. I had the pleasure of watching race at Silverstone in 1996, same day Hill won the championship, and the had the pleasure of a ride at Curborough when John owned it. Epic car.

Very sad that such a car is worth so much more in bits than it is as a whole. It has quite a history in the Speed Series, and as already mentioned, elsewhere before that. :(  :(  :(

Yes. So much car, with so much development, for so little money. Genuine history and back-story too, you know a cars a corker when it ends up with it's own nickname and is as well known as its owners.
