On the Monday after the race, I purchased some pear-wood, and started to carve a master, in 1.32 scale, using plans I had found on the internet. So with the car agreed, we started to think about the body. This has been showcased in 3D printed bodies, carbon fibre laminated bodies, and even the prototype version of the newly released 4WD system, all being raced, twice around the clock every March. This type of left-field thinking is a part of the real Le Mans 24 hours, and is quickly becoming a part of the 1/32 version at Henley. We even talked about the idea of building a front motored, front wheel drive-spec car, to see if we could mimic the unusual way that Nissan went racing at the real Le Mans in 2015, with varying success. We agreed on the recently announced Nissan GTR-LM Nismo because it is such an interesting car. It really is becoming the rehearsal race for the Henley 24hours. The first Eindhoven race in 2014 was a total success, and had captured my interest.

Then a full scale attack on the Henley Le Mans 24hrs in 2016. Me and Alex started to discuss during one marshalling stint at the race, of entering our own car in the October 2015 oXigen Suzuka 2000 race, at the Eindhoven Slot Race Club, in Holland. It was his first foray into 1/32 racing, having previously raced 1/24 scale cars, exclusively. In 2015, one member of Tamar's team was Alex Grijpma, and we instantly clicked and got on well. In 2014, we raced the Toyota TS030, which was a 1/24 model, scaled down to 1/32, and in 2015 an Aston Martin DBR9 in the GT class, which was one of the fastest cars overall, but got struck by bad luck, realising we never met the full potential. The race is one of the very best in the world, in my opinion, and has been getting better and better each year.įor the last two years I have been racing along with Tamar Nelwam, and his Racing for Holland squad. The story starts on the Monday after the fourth running of the oXigen 24hours, on the Le Mans track in Henley in Arden, organised by my good friend's Gary Skipp and Alex Jones. We wanted to show you a great project that's been in planning for the last few months-and also keep you updated as work continues.
