trying to find the first ever Mcrae built car known as the MASERRARI.
anybody know of it?

I think you will find the corvette is fibreglass not metal.
sorry ERC

parity is another name for 1 make racing. just pointless to me. as the super taxis prove. 2 body styles. 2 engines both regulated to produce simaller results.

yes. to me parity is just a parade of fast cars that can only pass by pushing or other dubious passing manuvers. that commentator on tv in nz a while back who said "rubbing is racing" summed up parity racing. i have for a long time been an open wheel racing fan for that reason.

I saw an interview with one of the supercar controllers yesterday and he was propudl;y saying the 2 slightly different taxis they had found the aero differences and had modi fied them to achieve aero parity. next was eng ne parity over the power curve. I thought to mtself that will becone a hispeed ...

It's me again sorry Alan, I hijacked your thread to vent one of my pet hates. currently motersport is over regulated, with to many people making decisions about things they do not understand. socalled stewards being a case in point. untill the regulations are simplfyed it will continue. safety regs ...

I ALSO READ THAT THE BRIGHTON SPEED TRIALS HAVE BEEN CLOSED. DUE TO A GREEN COUNCIL MAKING DEMANDS ABOUT NOISE FOLLOWED BY COVID AND NOW COSTS HAVE GONE UP AS THE COUNCIL HAVE MADE REPAIRS TO THE BUILDINGS AND THE ROAD IS DEEMED UNSAFE.

western springs. funny how people can buy a house overlooking WS then complain about noise, they do not complain about the pop concerts either. the animals in the zoo do not bitch about the cars or concerts either. had a lot to with noise complaints at clay shooting grounds in the uk. one persom ...

My other pet hate with modern racing is racing rule books. By that I mean silly regs that can beused to gain advantage,or exceeding track limits so beloved of racing taxis. if you want to keep people on the track put concrete blocks where you do not want cars. noise regulations really get up my nose ...

the dreaded word "parity" is the downturn of free thinking racers everywhere. this is closely followed by classes pricing themself out of reach. in the early 70's i know of an F1 car being built less engine for 10k pounds. now i think one has to put up $50 million just to enter the circus and it ...
