thanks for all your responses, I also received e-mails from David Goose and John Able.

David stated "When I put new wheels on the Red car I had the tracking set to 0.15° toe in each side so 0.30° total this seems so suit the car with good handling and no tram lining - but as I say not sure what the design values should be."

And John confirmed he used something very similar

So will now take this information and get the wheels aligned

ACOC News and Events / Re: Silverstone Classic 2019 - dates confirmed

« on: December 10, 2018, 15:11:37 »

Dates for Silverstone Classic 2019 have now been confirmed for the weekend of 26-28 July! The date had already been announced but remained ‘provisional’ until Formula One’s governing body, the FIA, formally ratified its 2019 calendar at yesterday’s meeting of its World Motor Sport Council in St Petersburg. This means that the Classic will take place two weeks after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the dates fall perfectly into the start of the school summer holiday.

 So far Silverstone Classic has announced brand new single-seater celebration as historic Formula One, Formula Two and Formula Three will all race at the Classic. Other grids confirmed include the the HGPCA (Historic Grand Prix Cars Association) for Pre-1966 Grand Prix Cars, the Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy for Historic Cars (pre-63 GT), Masters Endurance Legends, the Yokohama Trophy for FIA Masters Historic Sportscars and the Transatlantic Touring Car Trophy with more exciting news to follow in the new year. Full details of the on- and off-track family entertainment will be announced in the coming months!

 If you haven't got your tickets yet, with Christmas on the way and tickets still at our Super Early Bird prices there's literally no better time to buy.

Hi Paho,

would be interested in what the rear wheel settings you have, as will have all wheels re-aligned.

I have written to David Goose and John Abel to ask if they have the standard settings for the Brooklands, if / when get a response will post the information.

In the UK, Northampton Motorsport offer a wheel alignment for one off cars so the system works out what the settings should be, I have attached the weblink to the page on wheel alignment service that they offer:

having had an interesting to at the Sprint this year losing the front of the 1st & 2nd practice laps coupled with the car tram lining/losing the front all the way round the M25, think better get the wheel tracking checked.

Can anyone please advise the wheel alignment/tracking data (Toe n/Toe out / Camber) for the Brooklands Ace?

thanks David

Would also like to add my thanks to Bruce, Mike B and all the team that help to set up and run the Sprint event.

An enjoyable event and good to see a number of AC's bought along to support the event56 alongside those taking part.

I hope the council will gives its support to running the event next year (2019)
