Hi all,

Just a few words to introduce myself to the forum. I belong to a number of car clubs and I am a frequent visitor to the Triumph Sport Six Club (TSSC) forum. This is a mature forum that has proved to be extemely useful for obtaining advice & information from other members, particularly technical. It can also be very humorous from time to time! I hope this forum will develop in the same way.
For my own part, I completed the restoration and modification of my GT6 about a year ago with the intention of entering speed events. Unfortunately, I was made redundant and everything went on hold until my circumstances were improved. Nonetheless, I volunteered to marshall at a few events (Wiscombe & Longleat) so that I could "network" with members and generally learn the ropes. This turned out to be an excellent idea and I would encourage any newcomer to try it before competing. I eventually managed to enter the Longleat Hillclimb in September and it was a huge thrill. I was embarrasingly slow, but I am determined to improve. I hope to be out a lot more next season (certainly at the Wiscombe & Gurston events) to work on my times. I'm trying not to mess with the car too much, as it is me that needs improving!

I look forward to talking to you all on this forum and to meeting up on the hills.

George,

Welcome to the club and the forum. Good to hear you got to compete at Longleat (I missed it last year due to a new car build) and that's it - you're now hooked

You're right in thinking that there will be a lot of time to gain from your driving without touching the car. I started 4 years ago and found great chunks of time without touching the car and it's only now that I'm only finding fractions of a second improvement that I've decided to build a (hopefully!) faster car.

I grew up not far from Charlton Marshall at Sparrowbush Farm in Thornicombe where my dad farms.

Steve.
