GT Racer on Dave @ 19:00
SALAD - 13/1/08 at 06:07 PM

New series on Dave, 'GT Racer'. It is a series about classic car racing.

This episode they are in Portugal, I watched it earlier and thought it was rather good......in fact I will be watching it again at 7.

Definately worth a watch

Excellent. But how the hell did they allow that Lotus 11 to run with the driver's head about 6" above the single roll hoop?!!

Oooooo a lot of my old race mates on that.....

I really enjoyed that...but not enough of the racing IMHO

To answer the roll hoop question, cars of that period have different rules with regard to roll hoops and cages.......even belts believe it or not

Thanks Macspeedy - set to record.

Fozzie - I knew safety regs were a little bit more lax for historic but that's taking the p*ss!!

Wyn......one of our customers races his with just a lap belt, and its done the Le Mans Classic, and Goodwood Revival many times...oh and Laguna Seca (sp?)...all he uses is a lap belt, and believe it or not he doesn't have to use that......

Nail biting or what.......

Fozzie

I read once that stirling moss never ever put a seat belt or harness on while racing, even in the old F1 days.

Not the most exciting programme I've seen - but didn't that Corvette make an impressive noise!


Fozzie - 20/1/08 at 10:19 PM

I thought last weeks was better.....but then I am probably biased.........

Its just so good to see those cars, and even better to hear them......

Agreed, except they kept putting music over the top of them
