Britain's "remarkable automotive cottage industry"

[What'saCobra?]

You are not wrong, Trev.

Charlie did nothing less than a magnificent job in producing the SuperSports series, which was faster and more competitive than the original interseries it was supposed to copy.

Particularly and including the 2 liter sports racers, which were simply unbelieveable in the series. Outsiders have no idea how quick those cars were and how sophisticated.

I will forever sing CA's praises for such a very cool FIA series. And that of his friend Allison's, who did yeoman's work on a daily basis making everything happen. We traveled all over Europe to the best tracks, ate the best food, drank the best wine/beers and got seriously deleriously wacky on those 8-9 liter monsters, burning £10 a gallon VP fuel. About £10 a lap in fuel costs alone.

All the numbers necessary to describe the events, cars and panapoly of people are seriously obscene and telling them much too much like the braggadocio it would have to be. The truth in the telling would leave the readers in serious doubt of our veracity and no doubt about the driver's insanity.

Trev, I would love to craft an adequate history of the new series somehow and show lots of photos and personal stories and car monologues etc. Seems to me it would be interesting and a must have picture/story book.

But, time is always the most valuable commodity, isn't it?

Aside:
Green tested the car in its twin turbo 8 liter form and he thought the 1200 hp figure was not much of a mis-statement. Not so wonderful in the rain, he said....particularly because the torque curve was so steeply ramped because of the combination of huge cubits displacement, really big pipes feeding the really even bigger plenums and the multiplier effect of turbo rather than super-charging. Think of a really big switchblade...But, he said it was super, anyway...
