What a fantastic
sight it is going to be on Saturday June 12th 2004. We already have 36 cars
signed up and paid for and a few more waiting in the wings - but they had
better be quick ! |

Not since 1990 have spectators had the
opportunity to see such a large group of these fabulous cars from possibly the
best modern sportscar era.
A very welcome addition to
out ranks in 2004 is Charlie Agg with his Nissan R90CK which ran at Le Mans in
1990 driven by Bailey, Brundell and Brancatelli. |

Justin Law/Henry Pearman completed a successful test
session in Henry's XJR11.

well and sorted the VERY lively back end. Just the brake balance to tweak,
ready for Le Mans.

Henry Pearman ran well until a familiar mystery
cut-out. As Jim Graham can confirm, some Porsche secrets are difficult to crack

Group C/GTP
Racing 'Return' to Le Mans - 12/13 June 2004
Lovers of the fantastic
'Group C' period will be thrilled to hear that Group C/GTP Racing, the club
running these cars in Europe, has teamed up with Motor Racing Legends to run a
race on the Saturday morning of the main race at Le Mans in June 2004.
The race is for 40 cars (+ 4
reserves) with one driver of a maximum of 40 minutes duration, (no refuelling)
allowing for wheels/tyres to be changed in the event of a late weather change.
As with all Group C/GTP Racing
events, entry is by invitation and will be restricted to members who raced in
2003 plus those who have already requested an invitation to run their cars in
the 2004 season of individual races.
There will an exciting mix of period cars from the Group C and GTP /
IMSA family and is likely to include Aston Martin AMR1, Argo, Bardon, Ecosse,
EMKA, Jaguar, Lancia, Nissan, Porsche, Spice, Tiga.
A great spread of the finest period cars from 1984 to
1993 are expected and the sight of 40 of these cars will undoubtedly re-ignite
the enthusiasm felt by so many who followed the cars in period, from the famous
front runners to the smaller, semi-private teams.
We can't
wait to see the grid line up! Photo of the year?
