Will look out for when you next race - I would like to come and watch as I really love to see 60 & 70's cars going for it!

Excellent thanks - hopefully we can make it to one or the other, as they both look a good day out.

Well done Richard, can you send your video on to the TV company asap (instructions in Classic Lines)? The accident was very unfortunate, an MGs oil filter came loose, the resulting spinning Lotus Elan made a perfect ramp for the following MGC to launch and roll over.
Good to meet you DaveG, sorry it was rather brief though.
Cheers, Dave

Nope - just checked - got the one that you just sent through though.
ETA - I've sent them the link to my YouTube video though.
I haven't uploaded footage from the first race - would CSCC prefer I didn't? Not sure about the crash stuff - especially if it's not clear as to the cause. From my point of view, my race was a lot less interesting.

Yes - I found that interesting too. The Cortina was on historic tyres which added to the mix and the Mini, I'm guessing, runs 50-profile which all adds to the difference in performance. Richard Belcher mentioned how beautifully prepared that Cortina is (from someone whose car isn't too shabby himself). The Mini is the Swiftune machine. And the big old Ford (Falcon?) has such grunt. The Frogeye gave me a bit of an unkind squeeze on lap 2 (I guess he didn't realise I was still next to him and that he hadn't actually completed an overtake - fortunately I didn't need that indicator repeater). I was impressed by the BMW going around the outside at Church - I had be baulked so lost my momentum but it was an impressive move. I gave him racing room as it would have been easy (but unsporting in the circumstances) to drift wide myself but I was pretty impressed. I could definitely go quicker next time but it's a fun circuit - fantastic that we had the opportunity to drive it - it took me back to TOCA 2 Thank you. That Scimitar does have a bit of a habit of drifting around in the middle of the track - I'm never really sure what he's going to do.

The Cortina was built (and raced at the Revival) by Mike and Andrew Jordan, we had it on our Race Retro stand this year, it's perfect, in fact better than when it left the factory I suspect. Tim Cairns drives the Frogeye and he wouldn't have intentionally traded paint, he is a nice guy. Noted about the GTE....

Awesome! I'll look out for that. Is it available on demand? No, but it will be available to watch online after all three shows have aired, will report back when available. I remember when you were on the BTCC show Richard
