TVR at Le Mans!
Discussion
You're chances of seeing Ms Ickx in a TVR at Le Mans are quite slim, probably because Ben hasn't heard of her. Or maybe he doesn't realise how good she is. Ben, if you read this, Ms Ickx is a very quick driver and well known in Belgium and Europe. I have seen her at Spa a number of times. Her father was quite famous in F1, and for won some race in France a record number of times. She did very well in the Spa 24hrs last year, and has been negotiating an FIA GT drive this year. Vanina Ickx in a TVR would give MASSIVE publicity to the marque.
Right, this might be a long shot, but the Countdown Developments team is running last year's works Cerbera Speed 12 in the British GT series this year. As I understand it they are still looking for another driver to partner Steve Hyde, and probably a little more money. Why not contact them? I can't remember the exact web site address, but I'm sure it's as simple as www.countdowndevelopments.co.uk or something. The car will be OK as the factory is testing development parts on it at the moment. Suggest taking in the odd Belcar race, too. After all, Euser's Marcos was good in that series last year, and it wasn't much quicker than us. Of course, I can't be sure if you're genuine or not: but if you are, I wish you the very best of luck!
Having spent many years within the University's higher academic system maybe a little upside down thinking could be applied here.
What about women only races. and why limit yourselves to the odd fortunate person who has succeeded in motorsport through accumulated wealth, playing the system, nepotistic contacts and I grant you ,,, a little talent.
Are some of you still with me so far???
The position is this, If more girls raced ( under 35 years of age restrictions would apply and a ban on any form of wonder bra - shows no confidence ), more Girls would seek this as a Holy Grail Racing. Supporters clubs would generate more taxable products ( calendars ,, etc ) and more females would be present at race meets. The upshot therefore is,,,,,
Women only race days would evolve and a females natural aggression as distain towards their fellow sex would create enormous carnage on and off the race tracks.
Just a thought.....

Hello Shorty,
I posted this a couple of days ago in servicing
As most people know I am not a friend of Martin Short at Rollcentre, but I know he treats his customers better than how Brundle seem to treat their's! I haven't heard of any problems and I bet they're cheaper than the Norfolk Pixies. And oh yes he made the Speed 6 last longer than 40 minutes!
