T4 Chassis (Vauxhall C20)

Aggressive strategy

Wow, I forgot about this championship. I know I have a driver in a self-entered car, but I have no idea what my plans for the rest of the season were, or how well we have done so far... :roll:

In the unlikely event this series gets up and running again - I'd like to replace Ernest Eldridge in the Vauxhall with Boyd Robertson Edkins (AUS, b. 12.12.1882) whom I recently discovered was the factory Vauxhall driver of the time.

Seeing as I have run a grand total of three races over the coure of almost four years, I don't think there's much point in keeping this running. I am interested in running a series again now that I'll have some spare time again. However, I'd rather resurrect my 80s series, contribute to keeping a core canon alive or even start something entirely new than to keep this series going.

This is fair enough. I enjoyed the concept, but understand that it is hard to establish a momentum to a series.

Yeah, I liked the idea more than the execution. A series like this one requires to establish a feel for the time it is set in, and I think I failed at that. Also, I was really pushing the messy code I wrote back when I was in school to its limits, which made the series a chore to run.
