   Hi Christian

I like your new racer. And I like the colour! (Here’s hoping I don’t start a whole new “discussion”!) I think the simple style provides a sense/feel of the era. Do you have plans for a track layout with pit-stops perhaps? I am also curious about building the likes of a cross-country series of racers - sort of a Paris-Dakar desert race in bricks. Any ideas?

Lastly, do you know of any websites that have some general information on the racers and the period? Any links? I caught the last 10 minutes of a programme on Discovery about Formula One and its origins and I think it would be interesting to delve a little deeper.

Keep the racers coming.

Hi Chris

Thank you. For now my only plan is to have simple layouts as backdrops. When I am done with the series I plan to have a proper track with the racers sorted according to age. That would be late thirties up front and pre-WWI at the rear.

I really like your idea about cross-country racers indeed. And I have a couple of things in that direction cooking already.

No I don’t really know of any sites with general information to give an overview of the period. I usually use the library for that and the web to search for specific information.
