Well, gee, I wonder! :D

However, you want to race C1s in our 24 hour race. We don't want you to.

Hi guys, new member, first post, etc...

I'm that "german guy"* who was building his C1 last week. We had a great race at Spa24 and everybody had a lot of fun. I'm mega happy with the driving experience, the running costs and the friendly nature of everybody in the pits and organisation.

I won't hide the fact I'm a bit disappointed by some of the reactions on here. I truly believe the little Citroën C1s could be really popular for Enduros, but they simply do not fit in a typical grid. We run a spec tyre that means we're slower than 'normal' race cars on straights, and bad on the corners too. I'm a regular on the VLN grid and have done a bit of Creventic and GT too, but I've never had the budget to build my own race car.... until the C1 experiment started!

At Spa we were quicker than the classic 2CVs and a bit slower than everything else (minis included!). It was great! Having the seen the hybrid 2CVs pushing the Euro cars first hand, I'd love to try one, but the C1 was just cheaper and easier to build, and easier to sell to my buddies too.

Personally I'm not interested in the sprint races, just the enduros. The reactions of the continental clubs seemed overwhelmingly positive at Spa, and I hope that we can find a way to visit the UK and join the fun at Snett or Anglesey.

Best regards and keep up the great work!
