The Road to Le Mans 2021

[Felonious Crud]

Let's say that my QPV is worth £14,000 and the best QPV is worth £28,000 - I have a gap of £14,000 to fund.
A 50% drop in both is great £7,000 / £14,000 - £7,000 gap.
But it could be linear not a percentage, or worse, a race to quality that would widen the gap.

Actually the biggest challenge for this project is timing. Having two QPVs is (I'm told by Mrs MarkMas) an unacceptable outcome.

Explain to Mrs MarkMas that two QPs is surely better than two Mrs MarkMas'.

Or explain to Mrs MarkMas the two QP's are better than Mrs MarkMas Mark 2.

I've got about 30 metres of Scalextric Track. And for the record, I'm the Nissan GTR Race Car.

Just for photo purposes.
You can put a digital chip in them now though. I've got the old fashioned analogue ones though.

Me too but keep getting tempted by digital, maybe when the set-up is permanent

Oh, that's a disappointment. I had signed up to a crazy plan to work in a bar at Glasto this year.

You think they are old Mark!........This is what remains of my 80's 250LM. Note the arches cut away and lowered as well as the hand cut treads on the rear tyres for additional grip in different conditions...........Not that we took seriously back then!!

Eurovision cancelled now.

 

[Gazcw]

Eurovision cancelled now.

There is always a positive side to any crisis.

 

[Oneball]

I don’t think it’s looking good and I don’t mean the cancellation of Eurovision.

Motorsport U.K. has stopped everything until 30th April but the MAC who run Shelsley Walsh have just announced they’re cancelling everything till the end of June. I imagine other venues will follow suit.

I think my QP may have just hit £500.....

of greater concern is that it is in Auto and not Manual Sport!

and based on other experiences on SM, unlikely to be a short term situation! Good for diagnosing issues and ready spare parts and two beautiful cars to admire!
