SVDP RACING, WINNER DUBAI 24 HOURS 2013, D1

Hi All,

 

As well the MGB I also help with the SVDP Racing team 120D.

 

We have just managed a stunning result. Winner of the Dubai 24 hours 2013, D1 class (37th overall out of a starting grid of 80).

 

Lots of hard work but a stunning result.

 

 

 

The drivers and car all ready before the off.

 

We had to do lots of work including an engine change during qualifying,  1 hour 45 minutes between pit in to pit out ! and  of course my tools came with me.

 

More photos etc will be avialible here :-

Look waht Santa brought

Hi All,

I've wanted a set of these since I saw them a couple of years ago but they were just to heavy to ship out to Dubai. . . . . . . . . Until now.

They are a set of hydraulic car ramps.

Six inches colapsed.

A few pumps and 15 inches height so lots of clearance.

I will post more details once I have a chance to use them a few times.

They are from CJ Auto in the UK, this is their site here.


Many thanks to Spencer at SVDP Racing for letting me steal some of the space in his container.

Cheers,
Richard B.
