chaseracer Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 No, I'm warm and dry at home! We're aiming to run a full season in 2021 - so we decided to take our time with the car rebuild. The Team Principal is at Snet though, managing the Blueberry Muffins entry. Tamworthbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Looks like @chaseracer and team did get ready, just spotted the car on its trailer heading down the A446! chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yep, we're here. 26th on the grid. Team Principal smacked the barrier hard early in qualifying yesterday - he's OK and the mechs rebuilt the front end with the prepared spare panels in twenty minutes. No mechanical damage, though the engine tinware was a bit squashed. Practice in an hour or so; race at 1545. Yes, that IS @Talbot on the right... beko1987, brownnova, mk2_craig and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Lost engine #1 after an extended safety car period and grid parc fermé (two cars had thrown the contents of their sumps over the circuit) - engine #2 now in. Twenty minutes from tow-in (3 lap penalty) to rejoining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Still in 25th, 98 laps behind the leader and 14 adrift of the next place. Engine #3 went in around 3am, and the car has circulated reliably since. We have established the issues with the main race engines, to be rectified on rebuild. One Weber is fit only for spares now. All good fun. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 90 minutes to go. I'll plug in the Team Principal in about half an hour, so he can take it across the finish line. brownnova and Stinkwheel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meter rat Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Well done to everyone taking part. Pity we couldn’t go this year. It’s not quite the same watching on TV. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I watched for a good few hours on the live stream… but wish I’d been there. I shall book it in with management now ready for next year.

chaseracer Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Home now. 25th at the finish, car still running strongly. What an utterly mad thing to do. Sign me up for next year.

Stinkwheel Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Well now you have something to write for the next column If this is serious go-er of an idea, I can and will supply a 2CV bodyshell, axles etcHaving said that maybe a few of us chipping in will buy a better 2CV complete? I don’t have everything needed anymore but will happily be part of this *edit* I should have replied to chaseracer and not Richard, sorry, poor forum skillz, i shall go and prostate myself in front of a brown allegro as penance worldofceri, chaseracer and LightBulbFun 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
