Historic F/Atlantic & European F2 Series
As the Patron of this new group is V8 Supercar Driver John Bowe , I hope that this advice message is acceptable to the members of this Forum , I have already posted similar on the Historic section.
Earlier this year at the Australian Grand Prix. I approached John Bowe to seek his support to be involved in our new Series , to which John very readily agreed , given his love of openwheelers. Our aim is to have a 5 round Series over a 12 month period to bring together all similar styles of Historic openwheelers, i.e. Formula Atlantic/Pacific , and European F2 cars from Historic Groups Q and R , which encompases 1970-1986/7, and if possible to encourage other cars to be restored and see the light of day again , and in some way to again do that for which they were designed. The first meeting is The Sandown Historic meeting 5/6/7 November this year. We have 24 cars entered for this meeting , and the entry list is at www.vhrr.com.au , thanks for your time. Bryan Miller. |

Bryan,
I saw JB sitting in the roller of the Bob Jane Brabham BT11a in Miles Johnsons shop a couple of years back: he loves those cars. Be there at Sandown!! |

Fantastic to see such a strong historic open wheel class. Must get to Sandown for it.

Bryan,
Good to see a sub-group of Historically significant cars getting their act together. But, I don't fully understand the John Bowe connection (Naming Rights) unless JB is stumping up financial support for the series or, maybe, is it one of the Organisers has one of his old Lucky Nuts cars!!! I know I will get canned for this but I feel someone has to say it! If JB is tipping in (financially) to promote the class, or strapping into one of his old cars, may even pay for one one to drive - good on him, let it roll. Otherwise...... The "Costanzo Cup" or "Moreno Masters" or "Ralt Round-Up" or "Tauranac Trophy" rings more bells for me!!! Good luck at Sandown. Cheers. |

What about Lucio or maybe Ian Richards blowing the dust off of one of his ground effects monstrosities.
