Redditch racing driver John Truslove is to take the streets of
Pau again in his 1963 Brabham BT-6 in May.
The veteran chartered surveyor will be racing in the 11th Grand
Prix de Pau Historique run in the shadow of the French Pyrenees on
Saturday and Sunday, May 5 and 6.
He will be driving a Brabham BT-6 that was the works car of
ex-World Champion Denny Hulme.
John, who was 2006 European Formula Junior champion, is excited
to be going back to one of his favourite tracks.
"With the exception of Monaco where we have raced twice before,
Pau is one of the few genuine street circuits and is a real
challenge," he said.
His last visit to Pau in 2007 saw him finish second overall in
the Formula Junior event.
An unseasonal downpour meant that timed practice was run in the
wet, as was the first race, and his experience enabled him to
retain his second position in a very slippery first race run on the
Saturday afternoon. The Sunday race was run in dry conditions and
he managed to take fourth place to secure second overall.
"Not only do I enjoy racing there, but we always get great
support from a large number of friends and business contacts who
follow us over there each time we race in Pau, so I am really
looking forward to a weekend featuring not only competitive racing
but also a lot of fun and friendship," he said.
