One for lovers of grunty old V8 cars and not just yanks, this is the inaugural race for a series starting next year. We have a packed grid of no less than 39 entries so if this is for you this must be a date in your diary not to be missed.

Entry grid looks good, is this something similar to what the CSCC did with the V8 Rolling Thunder series a few years back? That was a good series, dad enjoyed racing the old MG in it too!

Any additional info? Would a 90's TVR be welcomed?

I was going to take my 2nd Gen but was waiting for a rear sway bar to be delivered so took the revamped 3rd gen and had a brilliant race despite some silly problems like oil leaking from the valve cover on one side (now sorted!). Here is some links to my incar video of what was a very exciting race for me in the road class. The other cars that lapped me have had hundreds of thousands of bucks spent on them my car is all steel/glass self built throughout including engine/box/axle etc. The white Cobra I nearly collected on the opening lap for example has been valued in excess of £1000,000 sterling!!!! Some lovely stuff out there though I hope you like my vids.
