Doug Elwood of David Gerald was invited to race in the invitation class which is open to cars of a similar style etc to the TVR's. I think a marcos being another example of a brit bruiser is entirely fitting to be included. it made for a very good race up in front.

He was doing very well, partly due to the Chevy Ls v8 under the bonnet..He was a little slow into Gerrads but balistic out of it and also out of the hairpin. I was still looking for a way past when my poor old rover v8 dropped a core plug cry

It was great seeing the Marcos battling with the Tivs.
