Hamish Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) For me it was a shared drive with dad who let me have a go at Colerne sprint 1991. Alvis 4.3 special. 1st in handicap so beat dad it would be many years before I could do it with my own car. My wonderful TR3a Mira 2017 you all know the rest as you’ve been there with me.

john.r.davies Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) If non-TR's are allowed, and by the above they are, I first went racing and still do in my Vitesse. This was my first, Old Blue, on the Mountain at Cadwell, my second race, 1995. It was bog-standard, everywhere, except for a roll-over bar and fire extinguisher. I even borrowed the crash helmet.

It is Conrad and the event in your neck of the woods but where? I showed somebody today the photo album with all my old competition cars right up to international events but looks like somebody only wants Tr’s so maybe not a good idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) I’m not sure if it’s an officially recognized motor sport, but I used to take part in the “VW high jump competition” that was held every so often on a beach near where I used to live. This was inspired by watching “The Thomas Crown Affair” and some idiot saying, “Why don’t we try that?” This is me in my Karmann Ghia, just before I sold it and bought my TR. A non-VW owning friend tried it in his Jeep, only to make a height of about 2 inches before grounding on a ramp and discovering 4WD is not much use if none of the 4 wheels are actually in contact with the ground. The jollity (errrm…sorry…”Motor sport”) used to end up with a competition to see how far we could drive through the sea before the engine got so wet it died. (The Jeep did a lot better in that event.) 51 years ago… Fun… Silly…… Carefree days. Charlie. Edited February 13, 2022 by Charlie D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Revival Motorsport Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) The Masters All-comers race at Brands Hatch GP,2016 was my first ever race, in Karl Wetherell's FIA TR4. In at the deep end! The guy in the Ginetta was a novice in someone else's car and held me up on every single corner. I got past him a couple of times, but he'd just out accelerate me every time. Since bringing the car back in one piece, he invited me to share the drive at quite a few more events. Looking forward to getting back out there this year, after 2 years off.

It was a bit of a mixed bunch-semi pro drivers in 400bhp+ cars on slicks on track at the same time. Just had to bring the car back in one piece! Our lap times are almost identical now, so we make a consistent team in longer races. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
