Here are some pics of the Smart Racing Club ForFour BRAB that will be entering the Britcar 24 hour race at Silverstone in October - the first time any 'Smart' model will have competed in such an event.

Membership to the Smart Racing Club is now available here...

...with lots of benefits and freebies (lanyard and stickers etc)







I'm looking forward to all this activity.............

I'm happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy that a Smart is entering the Britcar 24hr, but I'm sad that it could see the end of a ForFour !

I'll see if 'we' can't get them to run with a couple of our website stickers on it....
though if motorsport in general is anything to go by, they'll want paying for it !

Here's info for you JJ....
The car actually belongs to Al Young ! !   That's right...THE Al Young of TheSmartClub.

And it's going to have fitted a full roll cage (that'll do wonders for the interior).
basically all the inside has to be gutted.....and the front hoops will go round the front door
frame and take a chunk out of each end of the dashboard ! !  Niiccceee  ! !   :o
Mountings platforms for the roll cage welded to the floor too....hmmmmm even nicer   ???
I hope they put baffles in the sump to stop oil surge...and I'm surprised it hasnt got a scoop
for a cold air feed !  No sign of any 'adapted' Forge intercooler either, or a custom exhaust.
But it might just possibly have a remap....

All I can say is...after the thrashing it will have taken around the track for 24hrs and all those
'mods' so that it can race, it won't be worth as much as it was before.

But hey...I had considered buying a manual diesel, mapping it etc and and entering it......
I just couldnt find a cheap enough diesel.....

The Smarts4YouRacing guys said they thought about the diesel, but you had to be within a certain lap time to be in the race, and they didn't think the diesel would make that time.....
