Tasman Revival Historic at Sydney Motorsport Park (Eastern Creek) which is a huge bi annual event with hundreds of "world historic racing cars" from as far as UK/USA/Japan/NZ etc everybody was treated to a brilliant 4 x day weekend of intense racing and the weather was perfect ... Australia's version of the now famous Goodwood Revival in the UK.
As we were unable to complete the Chevron F5000 rebuild in time so we pulled out the historic 26 year old Van Diemen RF 86 Formula Ford ... dusted it off (so to speak) and ran it in four races which included a 10 lap final on Sunday resulting in 3 x FIRST OUTRIGHT places and a very close second.
Tom won the Main race (John Leffler Trophy) on Sunday after a brilliant dice with Mark Lowing (Reynard FF) and both were way ahead of the field until a large quantity of oil was dropped on the racing line all around the circuit by another car which slowed them down a bit but added to the spectacle ... you must see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw04v07sr7Y but watch to the end (18 minutes approx) as it get's better ... and better with your sound on of course.
Tom is in the blue car and the Camera is on Mark Lowings white Reynard.
IBC Motorsport - Team Tom will use the Xmas break to complete the Chevron F5000 rebuild and will be testing early January with a brand new period F5000 spec fuel injected V8 Chev motor so keep an eye on this space for regular updates ...
Meantime Tom and the Team wish you a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for your support.
Cheers
TEAM TOM
