Martin Crass

Where is Martin Crass this year in no 21 car? The championship needs characters like Crassy.

I stumbled across reports from last years racing yesterday. Grids of 42 cars at Silverstone. Those were the days. Where are they all this year? And who's Martin Crass?

[jamesc]

Quite a few drivers were not able to upgrade to a Nat A licence. Martin Crass has been in the Tuscan Challenge every year since the Tuscans started, only one driver has done more races (or entered them) and he is Peter Wheeler. Martin used to be the producer of Top Gear and is famous for being the first person to write a Tuscan off at Oulton Park. He has always had car No 21. Hope all this answers your question?

I've not been to a Tuscan race this year so what's this about the grids? Are numbers down? Rich...

[PetrolTed]

Yes. Numbers down to about 25 cars. Not to say the racing isn't as good - it's still a great spectacle and there's a terrific battle shaping up between Shepherd and Guglielmi as well as Dunlop and Britnall.
