Meanwhile, close to the Welsh boarder, some Club hillclimbing:
Serious racing tomorrow for some, but just me in the Libre Class.

How you could have doubted that colour scheme at the start puzzles me, what a great looking classic.

The colour has grown on me - it's just that I think darker colours suit the car better (to highlight the shape) ...

We spent most of last Wednesday at Wiscombe Park rebuilding the marshals' post at Esses 1 that was moved 3 or 4 inches uphill when that car arrived upside down in a barrel roll, landed on top of the sleeper barrier, and then fell back off on to the track! :shock:
Luckily the driver and marshals concerned were all OK, although the marshal who was helping us that was stationed there on the day still recalled it vividly! :wink:

Yes, that's a Rob Walker GTS (Minisprint) - that one was their original promotional model I think ...

Lovely. There was an extraordinarily fast Cooper at Prescott on Sunday, it was utterly awesome to watch.

I rather liked this, it’s space framed and channeled contemporary. The driver was positioned almost in the middle of the car, so suspect the chassis had single seater origins
