Entry going in now.

Looking forward to this meeting. Be odd not to be at the historic thing in Sussex but a weekend as a snapper isn't to be turned down! Fingers crossed you guys can muster lots of peeps for the day.

See you all there.

Jon,

Did you get any good shots of the LMA Euro Saloons race ?, in particular the Derek Hale Honda, racing at the front with the other Honda and the Noble.

BTCC watch out, this race proves that you can race quickly and closely without contact.

It was a great race to watch from our perspective, be interested what other people thought.

I've put up some video from the stand at www.nyssaracing.com

Im not usually a fan of races where the front row are 9 seconds quicker than the back row, especially on the Brands indy..... and the leaders lap the rest of the field 2-3 times..

But from watchin the downloads it looked a good race. It seems the supertourers have found a decent home! Is that the ex Rouse Britcar Mercedes 190evo running further down the field???

That is indeed the ex Rouse 190 Evo 2 making his first race with the series

Avro, sent you a PM. For everyone else theres a seleciton of pics on www.snappyracers.com/album/Brands020906. If you're not there then just ask!

Hi there, some great pics taken. Do you have any more of my Primera, 4th most of the time in that race. Many thanks, Richard.

Got a few Richard. Sent you a PM.

Edit: 200 posts!!! Only taken me over 3 years...

Some of mine went to Autosport an MN-have some lovely shots. Give me a few days and I'll have them on my website-bit busy at the moment! PS: The best LMA race ever that I'd seen anyway!

Hi Martin, I was in the silver Primera. Mean looking car that, sound cool too. Will you be brining it out to play at Oulton. Incidentally what does it have under the hood?? Rich.

Incidentally, anyone know how to get hold of David Roberts who binned his Tomcat into the Paddock gravel? I swear he aimed for me...

Got to www.nyssaracing.com and hit the forum. We LMA'ers use that forum a lot. BTW great pics of his off.:)

hi rich,

its 2.5 litre N/A built by AMG

same spec when rouse had it, set up for long disatnce races, brit car ect,

running 2hr endurence slicks and limiting the revs to only 8.5k, but it was dynoed to 10k

rouse i am told with this spec was doing 50 sec round brands indi

so its all me and not the car!

when my co driver drove at snetterton a couple of months back he was in the mid 1.13 sec laps

so in the right hands its a superb machine,

hoping to have another go at olton park,

Yeah I wouldn't mind some tips from him actually. I know what you mean about getting used to the car. I first bought the Nissan ST last July and was doing brands Indy in 54's. Haven't raced there until last weekend and now doing 50's. Reckon I could get it down to early 49's, with new tyres and less fuel. Reckon Reid could do a 47 second lap, he did a 44 pre 99 changes.

Sounds like the Merc will soon be well on the pace with the tourers.

Got to www.nyssaracing.com and hit the forum. We LMA'ers use that forum a lot. BTW great pics of his off.:)

I think I had glue on my shoes... I'll go on into the forum later on today. Thanks peeps.

it did silverstone national early this year and its times were on par with alvins 2000 mondeo with my mate driving.

We had a good race there with Alvin, until I cooked the Nissan. Have only jusst got it running properly again since then back in May. Is Tim Harvey "your mate"?

well sort off, lol

i lend him my car now and then,

met him loads of times and have had the pleasure of him driving me around donnington for a few laps in my car.

know rouse quite well with the cars ect,

i organised the 500 touring cars at donnington for the rs owners club show last year so got to meet all the drivers and had robb gravett/ harvey and sean walker drive my cars,

this is at donnington last year before we went out.

An original Labatts Sierra in A1 condtiion........fantastic. 90's touring cars were the ****** in my opinion, British, French, German just the best. Don't like these current tourers, the cars are dull.

here is the display from last years donnington show,

mine cars are the white ANZ, labatts and texaco cars

You have 4 racecars??? Respect Martin. I managed 2 once but sold the slower one in the end and kept the Nissan. Agree though the Sierra's are a piece of motorsport history and too good to race in that vintage. Shame though be great to see one out with us.

well not quite

as i have four now, sierra rs500 race cars plus the merc so thats five, goes to show how mad i am.

both labatts sierra harveys car is 100% original last race silverstone 1990

and then lawrence bristows car but this is now a thunder saloon,

the eggenberger texaco car is also original and not raced since fiji 500 1990

and also have graham goode 88 listerline car which i am restoring at the moment,

sold the white ex rouse bathurst ANZ car to a guy in australia at the end of last year,

i only started racing last as i thought there has got to be more then just polishing race cars,



this is the car i am currently restoring.

I will indeed sir......most impressive collection. Don't know if you are interested but a mate is selling a Kaliber Sierra RS500....not sure of history. Check out www.touringcarspares.com.

See ya at Oulton.:)

hi yer i know tony and was chatting to him saturday,

only problem is not a ex kalaber car but a copy and was never a 500 race car from btcc ect


there was three guys from leister way that did copys of labatts, brookland and kalaber cars for track days,

they where on the front cover of fast ford a while back this car is one of these.

the last owner tels me it was once a shell of a borum built rally three door sierra, and then it was a rallycross car hence the engine position.

Incidentally, anyone know how to get hold of David Roberts who binned his Tomcat into the Paddock gravel? I swear he aimed for me...
