Goodwood Cortina race

Pre 66? 'Cortina
I suppose the wheelbase measurement is within tolerance...just all a bit further forward
Cortina race at Members meeting will be fast at the front. The cars built to proper Appendix K Pre 66 will be at the back.

The lengths people go to....

I've had a quick trawl through Google Images, to find & compare side-on photos.
The rear wheel centres seem to be about right - under the front of the rear pillar for a Lotus, but further forward than on a std car. Is there a difference between the std cars and the Lotus Cortinas ?
Is that one of the Chapman tweaks ?

It was one of the works Escort tweaks for the 1979 Monte Carlo Rally....

Followed by the sound of grinding and welding as people put them back to spec ?

Scrutineering could be even more of a job than it was for the Betty Richmond Trophy! . Never seen so many on a last minute search round the paddock for some cast iron drums!

Does the Scalextric Lotus Cortina conform with the regs?

[Peter Laidler]

Strange that the Mk2 Lotus Cortina didn''t have the same magic or appeal as the Mk1 ever did. I had a couple of Mk2's. GEV 134H was the best of the best

I’ve actually spoken to Andy Jordan and apparently their (JRT) cars are legit and this is checked for HTP papers………..

What did you expect him to say?

...just like it was when it was sent to the back of the grid for irregularities.
