Innovative organiser of the Coppa Intereuropa Jason Wright will shake up the Monza meeting this year with a four-hour race echoing the famous Monza 1000kms of the ‘60s and ‘70s. The Monza 1000 km race was for many years the highlight of the Italian season, often eclipsing in popularity the Italian GP. The same cars will be eligible now that were eligible then.
Essentially an extension of the 1000km series for pre-1972 prototypes, this will be one of the rounds counting towards the…

It’s a wrap. India’s Tata, ostensibly the savior of Jaguar, has been sniffing around Saab a little, but that’s a faint hope at best for the brand. By Friday, it’ll be too late by far for their physical heritage, as Swedish bankruptcy administrator…

Hi Steve, I'm new to this, after many years of solos and hillclimbs, I started road-racing this spring with the FRCCA, Got my license, and ran with the SVRA at the GLEN in September. I hillclimbed MGs' Lotus, Porsches' Minis' ande won the PHA class championship in 68,69, inan MG1100 sedan ZOWEE !!
I'm an oldie, but new to this, My Fv is probably the oldest existing BEACH in the country, it had a great history.It's Heavy and slow, like the driver. I loved the Glen, I could catch a bunch of cars in my group in the corners,, and then they would blow by me on the next straight.OH well 2 more Horsepower ??
Anyway it is a fun car that I can almost afford to race, and I hope to have a few more years to do it.
I did beat 2 formula fords in the spring at Summit Point, that was a thrill.
Good Luck to you, from the East coast.
Tom
