Monoposto Racing Forum

I'm in the USA at the moment so have only just learnt, with great sadness, of David's passing. I first met David in the 80's when he was already an established and reknowned Monoposto competitor and I was a young whippersnapper. At the time I think David was competing in a ferocious full race 1600 F...

At the MSVR Media Day yesterday Steve Connor, Andrew & Emma Cliffe presented me with a fantastic gift which commemorates my time as Monoposto Racing Club Administrator. It's an Andrew Kitson painting of me racing at Spa. This beautiful and unique painting already has pride of place on my office wall...

I am away at present but will be emailing event documents to competitors for Rockingham on Monday 18 May. I will also be posting MSVR passes to those who do not yet have them. You can find the timetable, paddock plan and SRs for the event on the MSVR website at http://www.msvracing.co.uk/cars/calend...

In addition to our two Championships this year, the Club now has three non-Championship events planned for this season: Spa Summer Classic 27-29 June Entries for this super event are coming in well. Despite recent rumours that it's already completely full we do still have a bit of space left. The me...

Additional topics suggested so far: - This season we are plannig an upgrade for Monoposto at-event hospitality , provided by Emma Cliffe. She would like to hear what people might like. This could include for example social events on Saturday evenings. - In 2013 we had a number of punctures caused by...

As in previous years after the AGM on 15 February the Club will hold an informal Discussion Forum at which members can raise any subject that is relevant to the Club. In the past this has been a very constructive and useful session. In order to help manage the timing of the Forum it's very helpful i...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Monoposti.

Have a safe, enjoyable, and successful seaon in 2014!

Apologies for the slow reply, I've only just seen this thread MSVR passes are OK for Combe, it's an MSVR meeting. We have also alerted competitors to the need to ensure that their cars do comply with MSA noise regulations. Combe is particularly sensitive on this issue, so to help them manage their e...

I'm very sorry to have to tell everyone that Colin Thorpe has passed away unexpectedly on Friday 19 July 2013. Colin was very well known in the Monoposto Racing Club and in the whole UK single seater racing scene, over many years. His son Olly has been a very successful race driver in Monoposto and ...

Monoposto has got 28 entries going to Spa for the Spa Summer Classic this coming weekend. We are sharing the grid this year with the French Classic Formula Fords, and we have been able to buy a couple of extra grid places from them to fit everyone in. If any of our competitors have not yet received ...

Dermot's post is, as ever, rich in good advice. However when he says "when you skim a head you increase compression (not that anyone in Mono ever seems bothered) but you might want to speak to the 'powers that be' if you are intending to win - just so you don't fall foul of regulations. I suspect te...
