Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)

Thanks for that; at least I know there was a post '72 section. The Franco-Britannique Challenge sounds like a kind of team challenge for British v French cars (If it was for BOC members, I am still a member at Prescott). I must make some enquiries regarding the regs. Before I drove the racing car, I competed in the Midget. Here is one, taken in the Esses, on 30 April 1994 (I remember it because it was that fateful Imola weekend).
Rules exist for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.
MG Midget 1500, MGB GT V8, Morris Minor Traveller 1275, MG Midget 1275 & too many bicycles.
Was a great meet, and I'm pleased to say that even the cavalcade gave a great chance to hoon up the hill! Took my 2CV up on the Saturday, caught my mate demonstrating body-roll the following day in his Citroen Acadiane!
