Re: 356 Race Car
Tried to get the F1 Stevens but he was doing something in Texas so organised the next best Stevens I could find who was due to race our car with Gareth and PBE in two hour race.
We did three practise laps and had a small problem so decided to park it as Will was racing SC in same race.
He was a star beating ETypes ,Cobras and 901's
Best 356 drive this year along with his Silverstone Festival drive
Boy did well.

I think that is an old article Neil. I have known about it for ages, and if I know, then it must be old news indeed!

Re: 356 Race Car
Be surprised if there are any 356's at Donington!
Better bet HSCC Silverstone in May

Re: 356 Race Car
Which race?
I couldn't see anything at Donington that was a sensible race for 356.
What have I missed as we are Donington in Pre War with Alta and B8 in GT race.
Looking for pre LMC race for both 356 and Elite
Thought GTSCC was better bet.

Re: 356 Race Car
I don't think there will be a Pre 63 series.
Pity as it was a good series but had a severe lack of entries last year especially at Spa.

Re: 356 Race Car
Steve started his season at Donington and presumably will be covering the race in next weeks.Second in class,good job.
We will race 356 at HSCC /GTSCC Silverstone on 22/5 as a Le Mans Classic test.
Original plan was for Steve to share car at Le Mans but that work thing has got in his way,pity.
That's the reason for spare room at Tecnopark going begging.
The drive will be undertaken by a couple of my mates from 10/10ths. Should be interesting as neither have driven a 356 in anger before!
