Haven't posted anything in here for a while but though any onboard video fans on here might like this ..
It's the Birkett 6Hr Relay. If you don't know what it is it's a 6hr Realy Race for teams of a minimum of 4 drivers/cars and maximum of 6 drivers/cars. It's run on the Silvertstone GP Circuit but with the Historic Link that cuts out Vale. This replaces perhaps the worst corner on the GP Circuit with IMO the best sequence of corners.
You can run pretty much anything as long as it's race legal. Last year I had quite a battle with a 1938 Alard, occasionally interupted by a passing Radical. Nothing quite as old this year but lots of 50s and 60s stuff mixed with a few Radical and Sakers, lots of Caterhams and Locosts and pretty much everything in between.
It's a handicap race and there are 3-4 class also handicapped. These are worked out based on laptimes submitted by each driver/car for either this circuit or others and they are constantly updated throughout the race (so no point in sandbagging). Yes, it's tough to work out where you are but as long as you are fairly truthful you can keep track, we were running 2nd for most of the race before a fuel problem (ran out on track) and a bad SC call dropped us to 4th.
I cut out all the less exciting stuff but still left with 28mins of action. Yes, it's long but if you don't watch any more it's worth watching the firsdt 2:10 up to the first collision, and maybe the last 20 secs where I get my own back
