Not long to go until the race! Doors open for practice at 8am on Sunday, with the all-important Concours d'Elegance at 10.15 and the race starting at 11.

Preparation of our car has taken place in both Hertfordshire and Sussex - Martin building the really important bit (apparently it goes very well on the Nascot Wood Ninco track) and Mike having the fiddly task of putting the body kit together and painting it. All I had to do were the decals...

       

We've gone for the Brumos Racing 914/6 GT driven by Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood at the 1971 Sebring 12 hours. The car finished fourteenth overall and won the GT2.5 class. With a few extra sponsor decals, the same car and driver line-up  dominated the inaugural IMSA GT Championship in 1971, winning outright at Virginia International Raceway, Bridgehampton and Summit Point and taking a clean sweep of six GTU class wins.

I wonder if anyone else has plumped for the Brumos car and what shade of red/orange/tangerine they went for. We shall see on Sunday.
