200 Bugatis or 100 Bugattis and 100 Pur Sangs ?

Are Pur Sangs being accepted ?

Pur Sang · **Posted:** Sat Jan 10, 2009 9:26 pm

All the cars (oldies) called Bugatti .

Do I take it that cars which aren't Bugattis will be allowed to participate ?

That would be a reason for me to NOT participate!

You must ask the EBA ( http://www.club-eba.net/) to know the cars accepted.

Hi Bugwrench

Interesting answer, if you don't mind please share with us non-owners your objections to racing against replicas. As an outside observer it would seem to me that the owner of the original risk destroying a historic artefact while the replica owner merely risks his wallet.

I think the point of view of a man known for his skill-full racing of a genuine T35 (I've heard rumours that a certain T43 recently joined your stable as well - no need to either confirm or deny.) might be most illuminating.

Will you share with us your philosophy? Sorry if that sounds a little pretentious, but I am very curious as to how the owners of the "real thing's" minds work, how they feel about historic racing, how they value the current state of affairs, how important they feel originality is and lastly how they define originality.

Thanks
Johan

Dear Johan,
I understand and appreciate your curiosity. I will certainly respond but .... you mentioned the rumour about the certain 43 might be true and in order
to have that car on the road before the new season starts

Sorry, this message was obviously not complete yet and I sent it by mistake.
What I wanted to say is that you ask a lot of interesting questions which need a lot of time to properly answer intelligently.
I am however VERY busy with that rumoured T43 so be patient.
Regards, Bugwrench

Believe me, I understand perfectly! If I had a T43 to play with I certainly would have very little time for debate. Please accept my sincerest congratulations on acquiring such a stunning Grand Sport Bugatti, may it bring you, and all those lucky enough to see her in action, much joy.

Respect.
Johan
