Classic and Competition car September 2014 Page 2 Editorial. This issue we visit the past, present and the future. The past News is well represented with the VSCC 80th Anniversary celebrations at Peterborough, Santa Pod and Prescott. The present is the GT Cup at Silverstone and the MG Car Club meeting at Donington. The future is the new electric FIA Formula E championship which starts this month in China. The initial testing has all been conducted at Donington Park where the ten teams and a host of previous Grand Prix drivers have electrified the crowds. The cars are fast, but seem strange with no noise as they approach and a soft gentle whooshing sound as they depart. Due to current limitations in battery life, each driver has 2 cars and will swop cars during the pitstop. © Mick Herring Jeff Wyatt joins British GT. By Mick Herring. Reigning GT Cup champion Jeff Wyatt has joined forces with Declan Jones to race in the GT4 class of British GT for the two remaining rounds ahead of a projected full season in 2015. The Milton Keynes driver will retain his association with his regular GT Cup BMW team, Geoff Steel Racing, who have taken over the preparation and running of the BMW M3 GT4. The ABG-prepared BMW saw action (sometimes rather too much action) in the early rounds of 2014 British GT with Peter Belshaw and Declan at the wheel. Having seen the potential of the car demonstrated at the Silverstone round, Jeff is confident of his and Declan's ability to challenge for class wins at the remaining Brands Hatch and Donington British GT © Mick Herring Classic and Competition car September 2014 Page 3 © Janet Wright GT40 celebrates 50 years at Sywell Classic - Pistons and Props.

    RUSH By Peter Morgan April 25th 2011 1 EXT. CLOUDY SKY - GERMANY - DAY Dark clouds passing overhead. The bad weather that has hovered over the Eifel mountains, (in Germany), the past three days is on it’s way out.. AN EYE FLICKERS - WIDE OPEN - STARING INTENTLY A pupil dilates and contracts in the light. The eye stares. Blinks. Thinks. Making evaluations.. EXT. CLOUDY SKY - GERMANY - DAY The rain begins to subside, and the first rays of sunshine are breaking through. CAPTION: “AUGUST 1st, 1976” INT. FERRARI - DAY The eye belongs to a 27 year old Formula 1 RACING DRIVER wearing a fireproof balaclava... Highly intelligent, he also happens to be World Champion. His name is painted on the side of his Ferrari. NIKI LAUDA. NIKI stares up at the clouds. His eyelids flicker. Thinking. Agonizing. Wrestling with an all important decision... Is it going to carry on raining? Or become dry? CAPTION: “NURBURGRING, GERMANY” EXT. STARTING GRID - DAY We widen to find ourselves on the starting grid of a major Grand Prix. All around us... Engines ROAR into life as DRIVERS start their cars. An OFFICIAL walks through the cars holding aloft a sign, “One Minute”... Deafening, angry thunder as engines rev impatiently. A Ferrari MECHANIC rushes towards NIKI, and shouts in Italian above the noise, (we see sub-titles)... (CONTINUED) 2 CONTINUED: MECHANIC Mass usa slicks. Le vuoi cambiare anche tu? (Mass is going on slicks. You want to change?) NIKI looks in his wing-mirror back to see a red McLaren, white helmet, number 12, several rows behind him.

  • World's Oldest Active Rally Navigator Takes Part in New Zealand Haka
    World’s oldest active rally navigator takes part in New Zealand Haka Classic Rally at age 98 Submitted by: Insight Marketing Concepts Thursday, 27 October 2016 Guinness World Record holder navigates for son, 73-year old ex-Formula 1 McLaren team manager, Alastair Caldwell in Oct/Nov Haka Rally. Dorothy Caldwell, who lives in Flagstaff, New Zealand, and is the Guinness World Record holder as the world’s oldest active rally navigator, is to take to the roads again in the New Zealand Haka Classic Rally, a 5,354 kilometer classic car competition on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The rally starts in Auckland on October 30th and heads to Wanaka before coming back to Auckland again, ending on 25th November. 98-year old Dorothy will be navigating for her son, Alastair Caldwell in his 1963 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III. The same team and car took part in the TransAm rally from New York to Alaska four years ago and Dorothy won the “Spirit of the Rally” award and her team came 5th overall. Alastair Caldwell grew up in New Zealand and in 1966 attended the Tasman series racing, where the mechanics encouraged him to come to England to work in motor racing. He did so and became a notable part of the multi-national McLaren Formula 1 racing team. In the 1970s he became team manager, managing world champions such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and James Hunt. In fact, this week, October 24th, marks the 40th anniversary of James Hunt winning the F1 World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix in 1976, with Alastair as team manager, an event immortalized in the 2013 movie, Rush.
