    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...

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

    Surely they must have been GRP panels (doors, wings, bonnet and tailgate) as there is no evidence of them after the fire. Who actually ran the car in the 2 races I wonder if any of the mechanics are still with us. For such an important race there are very few actual photos of the cars in the...

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

    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.

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

    I know where my weaknesses are and therefore would not presume to have the depth knowledge on the 2 entries to justify commenting on the article I do though get disappointed at the perpetual Mercedes comment I have always been fascinated by the history of the cars however I always find the...

    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...

    Mallory Park THIS SUNDAY 10 June

    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...

    Threat to Motorsport in UK andEurope

    As you know I have bought into laissez faire. I am afraid I don't have your optimism with regard to this, more regulation always results in added cost so I will post my opposition to this review.

    Threat to Motorsport in UK andEurope

    All organising clubs have to cover for damage to the circuit and members of the public. The difference being with this new criteria every vehicle would need to be insured, getting Third party insurance for track use would be very expensive , you can't even drive round the Nordschleife a public...

    Threat to Motorsport in UK andEurope

    Wish it was bull **** I know the author very well indeed and the threat is very real! Each event would need to ensure that all participating vehicles have Third party insurance whether on private or public land.
