Gotta be him not not doing his metric calculations for the big block!
Theres a 6300cc TVR tuscan….looks suspiciously like a 383cc Chevy motor in that?

Looks VERY 1970’s to me.

We once bought a couple of cars that were advertised as a Ford XL vert with a 4.2 litre engine and a Chevy caprice vert with a 4.5 litre engine. Of course the 4.2 was a 428ci police interceptor motor and the 4.5 was a 454ci motor.

Apparently the convertibles with a hardtop have a slightly higher top speed.

Several LeMans 'privateers' racing L88 powered verts with hardtops were recorded at speeds just over 200 mph on the Mulsanne straight (before a chicane was introduced, slowing things down) at 212 mph. This Greenwood Vette was seemingly the fastest recorded at 215 mph.........not bad for an unsophisticated non-aero car in the 70's.

I watched the class Tim was running
I fail to understand if looking for an even field of cars in a class that they would be about equal in competing
Clearly smaller/shorter cars with a track with a lot of non straights would get through those quicker
Having the winner be 30 seconds plus ahead of the second place car and many of those smaller cars ending up front
than that class needs some rule changes to assure more equal racing

I watched the youtube stream, it was good coverage and entertaining to watch.
A decent number of Corvettes in this series now and were right in the action which was nice to see. Those pesky TVRs came through eventually though.
The big bus ‘Cuda and the Mach1 Mustang having a tussle was a sight!

Yesterday’s race went well, finished 10th and 3rd in class. Getting to grips with the tyres more now, feel it could do with another 200bhp though!
Donington on 11th May next, should be some more cars there too as a fair few people weren’t ready for the first race of the year.
