Silverstone - 3hr Race results

[viperman]

WOW! TVR 1-2-3, thats what i like too see!, and the girls great job to finish 6th only 2 laps behind, wonder why the balfe mosler was 17 laps behind, judging by the PDF booklet on MST the race looked very interesting, looks as if the balfe car lost all its time in the first 30 minutes, and the corvette only managed about 10 laps, shame, also a shame the stunning XK8 couldnt make the race, lovely car.]

Wot a race it was brillant, Battling all down the field. I was pleases to see the Porsche 996 turbo do well but it cud have done better without the off at copse. The ultima actually lasted a whole race
The Corvette showed the Moslers that it can put up a fight. Great to see the 1-2-3 by TVR well done boys.

[Umar B]

what a race indeed! i managed to go to silverstone today to watch it first hand. the GT cars sounded soooooo

Can't wait to go again

[viperman]

yes, i love the sound a big GT car makes, especially a particular one close to my heart. The deep rumble of a Chrysler/Dodge V10, very nice aswell when going down the gears, lovely noise. another car i lvoe the osund of is the Saleen S7-R, glorious, almost on a par with the viper, ones im not so keen on are the 550 marnellos and the other higher pitched cars.

[PetrolTed]

Nice to meet you at last Umar

[Big_M]

A load of us from Essex will be making the journey to Silverstone tomorrow. TdF, AlfEssex, Yellowchim, Techman and me.

Any other PHer going tomorrow?

[The DJ 27]

The Barff Mosler was stuck in 4th gear for most of the race. Its one of the finest drives I've ever seen to get himself back up to 4th place. And he got fastest lap. Well done to Eclipse motorsport as well, fantastic strategy. I'll be there tomorrow as well. Don't want to miss the Group C

[PetrolTed]

I'll be back there tomorrow. Good to see the other PHers there today. If anyone wants any stickers then come and grab me...

[Superflid]

Will be heading down tomorrow.

Well done to the Eclipse Team, after they had such bad luck at Knockhill last year they were due a win. The whole pit lane was very pleased for them, lads cograts.

Rob was indeed stuck in 4th gear after Luke managed to ram it in during an unplanned stop, this resulted in the car having to be pushed in 4th out of the pit box. Rob drove a brilliant race to come 4th, and get driver of the day, and fastest lap.

A good day in TVR world, nice to also see the Peter Cook Porsche and a Ferrari join the flock, as well as the new Golfs. This all adds to the event, shame the Jaguar had problems in Qualifying, but I hope its not long before its up there racing with the rest of us.

Well Done Rob Barff what an exceptional drive a very entertaining race somebody should snap this man up to drive in the FIA GTs how can you drive that quick with only fourth gear! Wow - "we are not worthy!"

[Rob Barff]

Thanks!

[hansgerd]

Now just do the same at LM and we all will be happy.

Indeed good you see you all there - Ted, Jeremy and Andy. Cheers Rich...

Great to see a TVR 123!! After disappointing racing at Donington I was wondering what the 3 hour race would be like, and it was good. Better from the Viper, great gritty stuff from the Green/yellow lotus - firing off into the gravel at Copse when trying to get past the Morgan, then undeterred setting off again and taking him! All in all, much nore entertaining. The Tuscans were great, too, especially Lee Caroline's sideways slide down the pit straight grass - how he got that back i don't know!

Good to see Ted, Jeremy, Tim. (offer of coffee/beer if up at Stratford sorting Pistonfest stands, Ted, just mail me)
