The problem here is in the 10 years or so we´ve been visiting the island I can´t re- member seeing an interesting car never mind a whiff of motorsport - the budding Alonso´s must be up in the hills somewhere. Thank goodness for Eurosport which is a bit of a luxury for someone like me who refuses to bolster Murdoch´s billions with a subscription to Sky but, I must admit, it´s tempting - there just aren´t enough hours in the day though to be earning a living and watching what´s on offer. I know we sprinters and hill climbers think we have touched "the edge" after a blitzing run and get out of the car with twitchy hands and shaky knees (or is that just me) but the bravery of John McGuiness and co on the Isle of Man is at a different level. Sadly there have been more deaths this week including the bravest of the brave, a sidecar passenger. Car safety has improved beyond measure in recent years although the exploding car- bon fibre is pretty spectacular, witness Alan McNish at Le Mans, but the road racing bikers have no protection from lamposts, trees, walls etc as they touch 200 mph - breathtaking for someone like me who has never ridden a bike, and they go back year after year. Sir Stirling called it a day this week, at 81, after scaring himself in practice for the Le Mans Legends race in his Porsche - one of the greats bowing out gracefully with hon- esty and dignity. It´s different for us oldies on the hills, we only put ourseves at risk, racing is a different matter. Vettel seems well on his way to a second championship but there´s been some pretty good racing behind him and Monaco could have been one of the best finishes in years except for the safety car. There is hope, the Ferraris are getting better and you feel Lewis and Jenson are there or thereabouts - Lewis just needs to calm down a bit but then he wouldn´t be Lewis. I´m impressed with new boy Paul de Resta, he is holding his own in the Force India team with the mimimum of hype or fuss in the media, an all round nice chap. Blyton, now known as Blyton Park, looks more likely for next year if we can afford the fees - 1.5 miles new tarmac with a licence to run both ways if the MSA approve. Must cool off - the water is crystal clear so got to go See you at Curborough next month Roger C [email protected] 4 Editors Mutterings To those of you who have received this edition of Spin Off via the post, you will have noticed no change. However, I have now taken the step, with a little help from our new webmaster Andrew Warren, to email Spin Off where ever possible. This not only saves me time, but more importantly, also saves the club some valuable printing and postage costs during these rather difficult times. Any of you who responded to the flyer that was sent out with the membership re- newal forms in December last year have had your wishes carried out; that is you’ve either elected to receive future Spin Offs by email in pdf format or to continue to receive a hard copy by post. Any members who did not return the form or are new members, then if an email address was provided on the membership forms for 2011 then I have used this to email the magazine to you. The membership forms will probably change for 2012 and a discount may be offered to members who elect to receive their 10 issues of Spin Off by email thus encouraging as many of you as possible to take the email route. Watch this space…….. Our July event, which I am “secretary” for, is now filling up fast. If any competitive members were considering entering this event, I strongly recommend you get you entry in quickly as you could be disappointed if you leave it much longer. The Curborough sprint cir- cuit is a very popular venue for us and the traditional July double lap event that NSCC host has even more championships participating now and therefore even more likely to be over-subscribed. Finally Jenson Button has broken through and won another F1 Grand Prix. Well deserved I’m sure. Didn’t actually see any of the practice, qualifying or the race its self as, quite frankly, it now bores me to tears! Only highlight of the weekend for me was when I happened upon a YouTube clip that was emailed to me of that arrogant Red Bull driver parking his F1 race car in the wall on Friday ….. Superb!! PM Westfield Sports Car Club Curborough June 19th Supplementary regs and entry forms are on the BARC website for drivers to download Go to ……… http://www.wscc.co.uk/regs.htm (Discount available to NSCC registered members) SPIN OFF Have you received a copy by post and you would sooner receive an elec- tronic copy and save the club a few pounds? Email me at [email protected] and you’ll receive future copies to your email in-box. Plus……… If you received an electronic copy and would prefer a “hard” copy, then please email at the above email address and I’ll make the necessary amends. Paul Marvin Classic Touring Car Racing Club Mallory Park Sunday 18th June 2011 We have been told that the Supplementary Regulations and Entry Forms for the above event are now available to download on the website.

  • The Factory Built, Le Mans Entry 1963 AC Shelby Cobra Le Mans Coupe
    The Factory Built, Le Mans Entry Ex - Hugus, Jopp, Miles, Olthoff, Hawkins, Schlesser 1963 AC Shelby Cobra Le Mans Coupe Chassis Number: CSX 2142 Registration Number: 645 CGT • The first of three Shelby Le Mans Coupes built by the AC Cars factory for the first Cobra Le Mans effort in 1963 where the Sunday Times sponsored team was managed by Stirling Moss with Carroll Shelby in attendance on behalf of the Ford Motor Company, and the brainchild of Shelby’s partner in imagining the Cobra concept, Ed Hugus. • Fitted with a special experimental highly modified Ford 289 V8 engine for Le Mans by Phil Remington and Shelby America on the insistence of the Ford Motor Company, unknown to Hugus at the time. • Taken over by John Willment to run the European competition Cobra operation for Shelby following Le Mans and tested with Ken Miles. CSX 2142 was entered for the 1963 RAC Tourist Trophy at Goodwood but failed scrutineering on the grounds of modifications. • Sold to Ford of France following a very successful South African tour with Willment. Driven by Jo Schlesser over the ’64 and ’65 seasons for Ford France taking victories along the way. • Restored in the ‘90s to Ford of France livery by Yvan Mahe before going back to Le Mans livery with Kevin Kivlochan in 2001 and then being further restored for Frank Sytner by Simon Hadfield Motorsport. • In the current ownership since 2009 and raced at the best historic events throughout Europe while being maintained at Pearsons Engineering throughout. Winner of the 2013 Tour Auto with the current owner and Gary Pearson, with other highlights including 4th overall in the RAC TT at the 2011 Goodwood Revival with Pearson and Jackie Oliver.

Was it really 30 years ago that the Indy cars (or USAC cars as they were then known) came to Britain for the fi rst time? The British weather did its best to spoil John Webb’s great initiative and the fi rst three days were bedevilled by rain so that the race had to be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. But when they raced they did not disappoint with AJ Foyt, an Indianapolis legend if ever there was one, charging through from the fi fth row of the grid in his Coyote-Ford to be challenging Rick Mears in the Penske- Cosworth PC6 for the lead when the rain returned and the race was suspended. On the restart there was no stopping Anthony Joseph who surged past Rick into Stowe within a couple of laps and stayed ahead until the rain returned for a second time and that was that. Here we see the great man heading into the Woodcote chicane on his way to one of his rare wins in Europe. The small matter of the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours (with Dan Gurney) was the other.

As a Monegasque resident for some years, and winner for Wolf two years earlier, this is “his” circuit. He has arrived hot from his win at Zolder two weeks earlier which has taken him into the lead of the World Championship for the first time. In first qualifying on Thursday, Ferrari team-mate Gilles Villeneuve tops the time sheets but on Saturday Jody rises to the challenge and secures pole position from Gilles by 0.07 sec which he then celebrates with a spectacular burn out from Tabac to the swimming pool. As Jody converts that pole into a lead which he will never relinquish, Gilles is outgunned off the line by Niki Lauda’s Brabham BT48-Alfa which has rocketed away from fourth on the grid. So it is ‘King Rat’ not Gilles who follows Jody for the first two laps while behind the second Ferrari are the Ligier JS11 of last year’s winner Patrick Depailler, his team-mate Jacques Laffite, Didier Pironi’s Tyrrell 009, Alan Jones in the Williams FW07 and Jochen Mass’s Arrows A1B.
