Festival of Sports Cars
(http://www.mgracing.com.au)
Some movers and shakers in the MG Car Club in Sydney have developed a new race meeting series with an emphasis on sports cars.
They spoke to the Gary Willmington at Wakefield Park and settled on Friday 19th, Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st August.
Then they decided to map out all the cars they would invite. The biggest hurdle was always going to be the dispensations given to the Historic Group S cars as opposed to other production based sports cars.
So they wrote to CAMS and asked for their help and got it in spades! The Technical Manager drew up a list of minor upgrades required for Group S cars to race with everybody else and the great news is ? the list is in fact quite small.
MG Racing is already planning 3 meetings next year (WP, OP, OP) and so this meeting is not a one-off but the start of something long term and great. They are also inviting all Historic sports cars from Groups L, M O and Q and Group N, so you can expect some action there as well.
Three Minis there today...my friend Mike McGee from Inverell. Drove down, unloaded the car, got into the race suit, did qually laps!!
John Battersby also was howling around...must ask him why the suspension is so low at the back
and another one I didn't know.
Tomorrow and Sunday there could be a swag of Minis racing
(I'm hoping anyway
)
....so which two bug eyes 
Loved the absolutely evil black one with double the track of a normal sprite and huge flares
