Congrats to Mitch Millett

[vetteheadracer]

Just been reading on DailySportsCar.com about his wins at Oulton Park and Donnington in the GT Cup.

Result! Take it it was in a Corvette (sorry - had a look but looks like it's a subscription job!).

Moslers not allowed in GT3 looks interesting too (and tenuously linked to Corvette of course...)

[franv8]

Oh and you haven't replied to my query about your doors yet either...

Thanks Nigel, very good of you. We've been having some success with the old girl, which isn't bad considering she's the second oldest car on the GT Cup grid. We should have won both races at Donington Park if only I hadn't spun coming out of the Melbourne Hairpin and I really should have had both at Oulton Park. Oh well heh! For anyone who is interested I have posted some footage on youtube:-

Just heart-gripping, thank you for enabling us to be part of the action, have you got plans

Could I just ask Mitch,

Whats the bungee for that seems to be growing out your "Old Chap" on the Oulton park video and not the Donny one?

Thanks for the kind words gents. Rainer, no firm plans for next year yet. I still love my Vette but Abarth are forging ahead with the Abarth Trophy U.K. for next year so maybe a bit of both.

Matthew the bungee is actually on the Donington one too but pushed to the side. It's a remnant from when we were doing endurance races with the car last year, so all the belts are attached to bungees so that when the buckle is released they all pull clear from the seat. That way when you do a driver change you don't have to go fumbling under the driver's bum for the lap belts nor has he sat on the top belts.

[Pixel-Snapper]

Righto that makes sense them mitch.

[dan1502]

Well done Mitch. You should let me know when you're racing again. I'll see if I can drag Andrew along too.

[mitch_]

Fancy seeing you here Dan! We may be doing the Britcar 500 at Silverstone in October. I'll let you know if we are! Hope you're well.

I'm often to be found lurking on here though more often than not on the Porsche forum. I can't help noticing the prices of Z06s dropping though. Maybe if things go well... I need to scratch the V8 itch at some point.

Great videos by the way.
