    I'm a Brit, and when you started the TR4 at 2:10, I could literally SMELL the 1970s!

    Enjoying the race is really more important I think. the taking part. You now know how to remove the battery without taking too much of the car apart! Nice car Steve and just go out there and do your best. 👍👍

    Nice car!! I've been a TR guy for over 50 years now. Currently have 2 '63 TR4's for restoration. I like the surrey top and backlight on the race car! And it looks like you have a later model brake system and reservoir . Good luck in the racing

    As you say, sometimes it’s not about winning so much as taking part. Can’t wait for the in car footage. Have fun, as an old Brit it’s lovely to see and hear the cars of my youth that haven’t been ‘updated’ to modern engine standards.

    Hi Steve. I think it was a couple of years since l saw you race this . And l was genuinely surprised at the mild power output , l think Kas' was getting much more out of his. But that was for a very different class . Thanks Steve

    Sounds amazing . The front wings with the aluminum trim gives a TR250 vibe plus makes repares to damage eaiser than a whole wing.Well thought out. The video of the racing will sound great.

    You've never had a fire suppression system go off in a small space have you. Trust your suit, gloves and helmet as you'll need your vision and breath.
