Pendennis Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Hi, yer wondered what the grids were like and what type of cars would be in the Quaife Intermarque challenge?

Pendennis Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Two 15 minute races at Brands Indy 12th and 13th June for £230.00 Rolling start though Want to rent an 18th century Farmhouse in Rural Somerset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchasey Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I race in the Quaife Intermarque, full entry list is at Rod Birley's website for the upcoming race at Mallory (will be live on Motors TV btw...) But in summary, a couple of Caterham 1.6 Sigmas (including mine), a bike engineed Caterham, 10 2 litre Tigers, and half a dozen Silhouette cars plus some varied others. Plenty of variety so you find lots to race against, I usually end up halfway through the Tiger field, and the Silouettes are generally out front (although Doug Newman's bike engined Caterham beat them all at Snetteron).

Fishy Dave Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I race in Intermarques too with John , well, I did last year anyway. Money this year has been spent on other things sadly, but will be joining in a couple of races later on this year. It's cheap to register for the series, and the entry fees are good value as double headers and usually on a single day. The mixture of cars and circuits used created interesting duels. John and I have had a few battles together and with the Tigers. We have also been put in with the tintops on occasion. How are you getting on so far this year John?

jchasey Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 LSD/widetrack/adjustable shocks has made a difference this year - not getting the understeer I was last year, car feels much more stable and I took 2 seconds off my previous best at Brands in first outing. (Combination of better traction and feeling more comfortable to be able to push things harder) Will be interesting to see how Snetterton goes next month timewise - when do you think you'll be able to join us?

Fishy Dave Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Well, on the one hand I am pleased your times are improving mate, on the other, well, I'm going to have to drive harder still to keep up! I should have my 1.6 engine and 6 speed box in by end of June, so would like to enter rounds from then. Much depends on how many Toyotas are bought by the good people of Bath (need the commission to pay for the race fees!). How was Mallory on Sunday? We have no Sky at present so couldn't watch it on Motors TV. ☹️ David Smitheram, Wiltshire (South) Joint AR, 07718 368173. 1400 supersport race car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchasey Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The day didn't start well - a car crashed into an electricity pylon in the next village at 3am that morning (nothing to do with the racing!), so there was no power at the circuit all day. Once we got going however, the racing was really good. Got stuck behind a Tiger in the first race, usual story of being faster round the corners, but he'd pull away on the straight. However got the jump on him at the start of the second race and made up 6 positions to win the class. The MotorsTV coverage was good in general, but they focused on the front of the race so there was little to see of anyone below about 6th on the grid. The day was considered a success though, there is talk of doing 6-8 live TV events in the same way next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendennis Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Anyone doing the next couple of BARC events? Want to rent an 18th century Farmhouse in Rural Somerset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchasey Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yes, will be at Brands on Sunday for the Intermarque, plus the next two Lydden events. I know we're in with the TVRs this weekend, was a bit frustrating racing them at Snetterton given their power advantage on the straights (at least for the V8s) but things should be a bit more even at Brands cause most of them arn't too hot on the bendy bits. (Only 1 of them beat me at Cadwell) Have you entered? John Edited by - jchasey on 7 Jun 2010 22:04:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendennis Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I can't do the Brands event as shall not be fit to drive come Sunday But I have entered the Lydden event on the 26th June.

jchasey Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Second hand slicks from sticky-slicks or similar...in fact Jez (also entered) bought a load from one of the Formula BMW teams so think he has them for sale on motorsport ads. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
