    The Datsun Z series at Le Mans (Daily sportscar.com 17 nov 2013)

    Le Mans then was always a very different international race there were of course manufacturer entrants but a good proportion were privateers, so if a particular marque did well that weekend the manufacturer could appreciate the reflected glory, if poorly could distance them selves or is this...

    My limited knowledge led me to believe the car was a PS30-B, is there any history of the car's build before being exported. It's the quirky information that is interesting, how long have I got ? with age comes freedom and selfishness to spend more time doing what you want to do.

    How strong is a R180?

    I have only ever run a 180 LSD diff in my car with no problems using both slicks and modern radial race tyres. It has survived Sprinting, Hill climbing and Circuit use without any problems. The main advantage over a 200 as far as I was concerned was it's weight, actually had more issues with...

    What better way to spend the day sitting in the sun watching and hearing classic machinery being put through it's paces at a friendly circuit which serves the best breakfast of all the tracks.

    Threat to Motorsport in UK andEurope

    I know from trying to run some events it is becoming increasingly difficult to get entrants mainly due to costs as well as apathy, tell the intending entrant that they must have third party insurance will reduce the numbers even further . Insurance costs will greatly increase if you have to...
