AMOC OULTON PARK 13th SEPTEMBER

[astonman]

Astons come to Oulton park this weekend.From pre war to N24 vantage and everything in between.You should also get to see the David Ellis GT700R, 700bhp, carbon fibre chassis etc the fastest Aston engined creation of all time?There is also an all Austin Healey race, Ferrari challenge and no doubt Porche RSR etc.

[GPM3D]

One of the best race meetings of the year! Fantastic bits of kit always turn up - and just 'How Much' are they worth!
I'll be there deffo!

Highly likely to be there.

Can't make this one.

Shame. The Aston meet is a belter. Enjoy it folks.

[Seany88]

Probably a stupid question but will there be anything going on sunday? And how much is it in?

Let me know what times he does and I'll compare it to my late Dad's V8 times - could be interesting and shame we can't have a

[astonman]

your dad is sorely missed.My best memory of him was watching him wring the neck of the marsh plant DBR4, he went round the old club woodcote on FULL throttle , swinging it from full right to full left lock continuosly, smoke pouring off the spinning rear tyres. Not even schumacher could drive a car like that!I really regret I never saw him demonstrate the V16 BRM.Gerry and that car were made for each other, RIP.

good days racing,this one a little close to me and the barriers though !!

[astonman]

What a shame the Aston club didnt a get noise free day sorted for the older cars at the meeting like the vintage club meeting did in june.But generally a good day and good weather for once!

if we are on about who i think...driving god amazingly entertaining

[astonman]

The one and only Gerry (sideways) Marshall.The most entertaining driver of powerfull cars in the history of racing! Gerry may well be chuckling because the amoc apparently cocked up and gave the superGT race win to the TVR Tuscan and not to the David Ellis GT700R.!

[GBRM]

Cheers guys, sorely missed as I'm sure you can imagine. What sort of times did Dave Ellis do? I've heard that one of the V8 Astons will be coming out soon (not that one in Autosport that they got all wrong!!), plus the DB7 is being developed, should be bloody quick.

[astonman]

Well Dave was eventually credited with the win 2.5 hrs or so after the event!Best lap 1min47.3 Remember this wonderfull machine has no Aston chassis so not directly comparable with any V8.

Had a great time on Saturday. GOod to catch up with Tom, Dan and Darren. Nice weather too which was a change. Picutres are uploded now and on the forum.
