The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Just been watching some Classic Touring Car racing from Snetterton on Motors TV and there was a very quick Sprint driven by Mark Osbourne showing lots of folks how to do it. He only got beat by a big cat Jaguar XJ12 and an XJS but he gave them both a very hard time and was leading for a while.

Is Mark on here and do we know how he makes it go so quickly?

Its likely the car was prepped by Ken Clarke who is on here dolly racer33?

Met the guy at Thruxton a few years ago and he is very pleasant.
There is a video somewhere taken from a car as he hunts them down and passes, as you say very quick.

That would be another Ken, Ken Osbourne.

I watched that. They didn't say what all the smoke was coming off of Mark's Sprint but he obviously got it sorted for the next race.

Found this video on Youtube...

The Dolly catches that Honda S2000 and passes it pretty quickly, great stuff. You can see Mark working at the wheel nicely.
Couple of screen captures from the video:-

Brilliant hunting

Ah thats the video Mart
Tis a lovely sight to see a well driven Dolly strutting its stuff.
