Great to see so many Tigers taking to the strip!
Can we see some more times please?

By comparison here's in-car from Brighton in 2002, my best that day in my 260 was 15.23s. See how narrow it gets and imagine when it was the full mile.

But if you don't have vented discs, I would strongly recommend that first, if you plan to do any spirited driving, or at least fit Carbotech pads and decent racing fluid. With additional ducting, this set-up survives the short races I do but might not be working at the bottom of a long hill descent.

Only 2 Tigers made it to Silverstone, lots of cars not ready for 2012 yet. The Smallridges had entered but had to make do with their MG Midget at the last minute - but still out-qualified Zoe (12th) and Tristan (19th) on a very greasy surface. Come the race, the drying track with mixed levels of adh...

Definitely the slipperiest track I've ever driven on, torrential rain onto a circuit that's been dry for weeks resulted in a very oily surface. Neil kept to together to finish intact in the GTS race, first Tiger entry in this new, growing series: http://www.tsl-timing.com/ccrc/2012/121568g65.pdf I d...

Thinking back to some pictures of Tony T's, washing Sunbeam Tigers and cotton garments at the same time can sometimes produce pleasing results.

Ok then, I'll open myself to ridicule (...again...) and offer this clip, with thanks to Bob Keen video productions.

Despite the fog, we mustered 4 Tigers to join a wide mix of classic cars and bikes at the meet. The day wouldn't be complete without some drama, with Ben May's 289 HiPo failing to start outside Hampton Court station, even though it had made it there from Surbiton quite happily. WD40 did the trick. T...

Looks like a bit of a Chevrolet domination in the HRV8 race, including STOC member and FIA Tiger racer Neil Merry in his Corvette in 7th, with Jon Finnemore a cracking Ford-powered fly in the ointment in the Orange Bomber with a 2nd place; go to HRV8 challenge / race / classification: http://www.tsl...
