2024 Silverstone GP CSCC Swinging 60s TVR Tuscan V8 Jon Wolfe 4th on grid to another engine fail DNF
A good start followed by a really annoying DNF when the engine let go after less than 2 laps. A connecting rod broke, damaging the crank, a bore and punching a hole in the sump. You can't really hear it in the video but it's right at the start of Wellington Straight.

Like some of my others, you have to be keen to watch it all but at least I worked out how to blend in the rear-view camera (which is reversed to make it like the mirror). This is the second race of the weekend when my track knowledge was improving but the guys in the post historic cars helped me out again with lines. Many people who took part in the race are in there somewhere. The red flag bit...

I was 12th on the grid but different pit stop regulations for the different series would help us out. It was a full on charge from start to the end resul...

Well that was a tough old race! Horrible greasy conditions for practice and the session was mixed in with the CSCC Future Classics series - the car and I are not at our best when it's like this but I just about managed 11th from 32 cars on the combined series grid. The 40 minute race was dry and despite the 20s success penalty (served as an extra wait in the pit lane) managed 4th overall and 2n...

If you were in the race you are probably in here somewhere; it's not a great video because of the rain and the wiper packed up at 7 minutes - it was not a great drive by me as it was my first race in this car in the rain so a very steady start. Started 12th, finished 13th overall but 2nd in class.

Still early days for us in this car but it's a great circuit and an ideal car. Started in 11th on the grid followed by a terrible start but recovery to 6th. Highlights which is actually most of the race!

Why the red flag?
Significant number of cars in the gravel at Paddock Hill bend!
Sound like you have the motor dialled in! Love to know more about the car and this event?
There is loads about the event on the web; it's one of my favourite places. Check out www.angouleme-tourisme.com/en/fete-manifestation/circuit-international-des-remparts/ the car is sold now but had a lot of brilliant races in it including outright wins at Monza, Brands Hatch and Nurburging Nordshleife. Lots about all my racing on wolfitt.com
I enjoyed the race, thanks for posting, I hope you had fun. Now I must make progress on my +2 Elan.
I’m halfway through watching, so maybe I shouldn’t comment yet but two things struck me, that MGB was surprisingly good under braking, I thought a much heavier car would lose out. I’m not sure what the regs are but my B’s brakes are good for road use, I would expect them to struggle whilst racing. I’m interested why you took that line through Druids, it seems to compromise your exit speed, you must have a reason, please enlighten. Thanks for posting I’ll go back to the race.
MGBs are amazingly good and he's probably better at it than me! Exit speed on Druids doesn't really matter as going tight is much shorter and it's such a short sprint to the left hander plus don't forget it's a whole train of cars in front and behind so you ae always watching for someone diving down the inside and wiping you out! Thanks for watching.
Excellent driving, seemingly calm and measured. Congratulations on the class win.
Thanks, it's amazing how many drivers get in a complete mess at the start of an endurance race!
lovely 😛
Great stuff! Bit of excitement behind at 03:58, but what caused the exclamation at 06:29 just before overtaking the 240Z?
I thought Dean (240z) had seen me and was letting me past but probably hadn't and moved back over the track. You can see it more easily in the forward camera version of this race, also on CZcams.
Thanks for sharing was a great meeting some clips on my channel...
Nice solid performance - again. Thanks for posting, I love the Tuscan TVR and these videos take me back. Please give the car some love.
Like this with the pit stop ..It would be to my liking if i was a solo driver also.
Talk about POWER on tap!
Survived! well done! looked mighty slippery, may have been worth trying to find grip 'offline' (like the yank tank), but easier said than done! :-) ps Was your HANS meant to be unattached? could have been costly,,,,
The Healey driver a real idiot!
Yikes! Was proper wet out there yesterday - had the Galaxie in Libre and it was a handful😅
There’s a bump, river or something in the track - I’ve done the same thing in the wet just there and, even aware of it, had to collect the car as it was suddenly stepping out of shape
Just picking up tips! Nice work, Jon
My favourite car ever!
Nice…..a pretty cagey first lap, amid some sketchy driving, then into the groove. Which brake pads were you using?
Mintex F6R - very squeaky!
I almost lost the rear left. It started coming off during a drive on the street. When I pulled over, it was just about off. Apparently, when I was tightening the Nader nut in my garage, the car is so light, the wheel started turning on the smooth concrete surface. I gave it a good yank, but obviously, that wasn't good enough. Really need someone to step on the brakes while tightening the nut.
Had one of these back in the day, and I'm quite sure I didn't drive it this well...
Well if you are going to lose a wheel better lose a rear than front
Thanks for sharing Jon, great to see you in action!
Ooh! Apparently that happened to my GT6 with previous owner at Morgan Park in Queensland Australia. Still have the rub marks inside the wheel arch! Triumph weak point apparently, and cars known to flip (not sure how though).Glad your ‘issue’ ended safely.
Oh feck
Nice drive . Alas, that sounded expensive!
Yes and yes again, We did a quick fix for the next meetings by buying another similar unit and being super-careful on race starts. The following winter we undertook an entire rear drive train upgrade with bespoke shafts and some special joints made especially for the car by GKN.
That was great fun to watch Jon, thx for posting! I love the wave to the MGB :^)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great battle well driven could not get passed either of you fairly or safely got punted of by 74 Dave Roberts earlier and safely and ended up with bake issues 7 mins to go that kept putting me into a spin even when I tried slower. I had to come in as I did not want it to end on my roof as it nearly did on my last try, next time if I make it to Mallory?
Jon, great drive - cant see the fuel in the video, but I think a new breather valve required...
I'll send you the HD version where it's much clearer, this is just the vbox cam.
Hello Jon and Richard!
Hi 👋 mate I honestly truly love the roaring sound of your V8 what hell of a Super nice V8 that you have mate I love 😍 your V8 I think 🤔 it is the best one ☝️ out there mate 😂
Thanks 👍
240Z was a bit 'optimistic' at best with that move.
awesome stuff Jon ,what transmission were you running in the mk2
It's a close ratio 5 speed Ford type 9 in a Quaife casing; very well matched to the car's torque. No need for 5th at Angouleme...
@@jonniev8 many thanks i have a mk 3 and was looking at alternative transmissions
Thank you so much for taking AND sharing this video!!!
haha did well to avoid that Lotus when he eventually lost it.
Great race.
Oh man that thing hauls. Have a good season Jon.
I just want to know how you get a TR6 to be as quick as that one he was following!
240Z driver ; .... (snicker!) ....
I would love to drive my GT-6 there for sure. What a blast that would be!!
Absolutely tremendous! Those MGBs soon wilt under Triumph pressure....
go Lotus Europa!
Was the Europa racing for position at the end, or attempting to lap you? I didn't notice a pass after the spin.
Smoking start!
Still can't get over how a Camaro and TVR out braked and out manoeuvred a Mini at the end of the Kemmel straight (4:05)
Hey Jon, great vid! What kind of motor is in the GT6, hopped up GT6 engine? Sounds terrific!
Yeah, modified GT6 motor. Lots done to it however....
Damn that looked scetchy as fuck with all the windows fogged up. Hope the damage is not as bad as it looked. Usualy with lots of polyester parts, a crash looks way more spectaculair then it really is!
It was pretty bad; out of action for 10 months. Bent chassis, mashed suspension, split radiator and wrecked bonnet. Luckily it's only a game!
Arg, I was thinking ok that was not bad then you got tagged. Boo.
Sorry!
Be great to see the full race!
OK, I will put it up as soon as I have some decent internet access!
jonniev8 top man, I'm a TR man but like the TVR too! Look forward to future races are you doing spa?
It's up now. It's a bit dull I'm afraid!
Ooops!
