Thanks Peter
As I said in the original Spa 6 hours thread, a small group of us in Castle Donington are looking at entering this and are investigating car options. An MGB looks favourite for all the obvious reasons - cost, ease of running etc.
We will probably buy between us as a collective - we did something similar for the first Citroen C1 24 hour race. There are difficulties in doing things this way in terms of shared commitment and decision making etc but we made it work last time.
Whilst we have experience of the C1, and I have experience of a couple of 360mrc races, none of us have experience of a proper “historic endurance race” so it will be something of a challenge, and we will just be aiming to finish.
Driving experience varies from Caterhams to MG Midgets, TR7V8 and Morgan’s, although none of us have driven on “historic” tyres. Old tyres, yes, but not historics!
Most of us are also used to the basic regs in CSCC and not the intricacies of Appx K.
We will see, it might not happen yet as if one person waivers, the project waivers but I hope to be there.
