It's a character driven film, not a chronicle of Senna's greatest laps. Donington - the director stated elsewhere that the footage available was of too poor a quality to use.

]]> Comment on AFD, Class B - An Unncessary Mess by Martin Luton http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/02/23/afd-class-b-an-unncessary-mess/#comment-1006 Martin Luton Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:39:43 +0000 http://www.benevansracing.co.uk/2008/02/23/afd-class-b-an-unncessary-mess/#comment-1006 I joined Formula Vee because class B was intruduced. Its enabled me to have a crack at winning some silverware on a sub 4k budget, which would not be possible without class B. I understand the opposition to class B but without there being rule changes to the main formula to curb the costs involved in using £500 dampers and twenty minute 9Krpm engines I wouldn't bother to compete because I couldn't possibly win. If class B is to be removed then I think the way forward should involve sealed engines, with only inlet, carb and exhaust being free. That way the ridiculous 9krpm engines could be avoided and the cars could be run on a much smaller budget. I also think we should go over to water-cooled VW engines as one of these, with a 7k rpm cam in it should easily last a season. I joined Formula Vee because class B was intruduced.

After years of saving, I'd been looking to get in to racing and had pretty much decided to go down the F-Vee route. For a novice, the technical regs seemd refreshingly strightforward and the club sounded welcoming. However, since 'Class-B' has suddenly appeared, and given the now apparent divisions between club and competitors, I don't imagine F-Vee will be the most pleasant place to be this year so I'll look somewhere else (which is perhaps what the administrators want seeing as many grids could be oversubscribed?). Good Luck to you this season Ben. Missed your blog-updates last season - hope to read more about your exploits abroad this year. I’ve been following the whole ‘class b’ debacle on the forums.
