Ours in GTSCC race on 22/5 with practise on 21/5.
HSCC have a GT race on 21/5 where we will have an Elite,
Seems the actual timetable is not fixed.
Ideal test for Le Mans as on GP circuit.

Will Stevens

3 09 at Spa at weekend in crappy conditions

Not bad for a 356 with all those 911's behind

Puts other lap times in perspective

Gareth Burnett is driving my Pre A 356 in GTSCC race.
There is noise restriction so that reduces our power .
Interesting class. Aim is 45's but should be quicker.
We are using race purely as a Le Mans shakedown as not been used in a race since Will and Gareth drove it in wet at last years Silverstone Festival,

Decided with wet weather forecast to give Silverstone a miss.

Did that wet Silverstone thing last July in Classic which was enough.

If the weather is anything like that for the Classic, I cannot say I blame you....next outing LMC?

Day testing at Snetterton

Can do Talbots and Alta same day.

Pity to miss GP circuit but have already sorted that in rain last year

Wil you were quicker by 20 secs in my car than any other 356 so nowt to prove.

Would have been worthwhile on a sunny day as we're trying to get to 40's

It was a lovely day on Sunday! We watched the last 3 races. Those Chevron V8s are quick.
