Hi all,

I've updated my site (in fact is more, a new site ), about the portuguese racing circuits, and as so many people asked, it's in english now.

I will update every week the results, so don't worry if there are many parts incomplete by now.

The update will take an certain order:

- first I will put only the results of the main race from each meeting (ex. the F1 race from GP of Portugal 1959); latter I will update with the other races results

- The track, photos, posters and circuit history will come in the next weeks.

all this will be anouced in the site and, of course, here at TNF (if everybody agrees )


Any comments will be accepted and if there is any member who would be gentle enough to read the english texts and correct the english mistakes (as my english is not perfect) it will be very, very apreciated... eh.eh.;)

regards

Doesn't work for me either.

I'm very sorry, shame on me,

That was an incorrect link.

This is the correct one.

Still not working for this reason : The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.

The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.

The site it's so good that everybody went there tonight

Seriously, I can't understand why, but since last saturday (when I put there the files), I get the same message when it cames to this hour. I've been there two hours ago, and everything worked.

I think Angelfire is trying to get some money from me...

Works for me

Luis - I look forward to watching the site develop

Nice one, Luis

How about including some details about the circuits in the Portuguese colonies, Angola and Mozambique?

Thanks Hieronymus.

They will be included too, but that's another story.
I think it will be available only for the Spring 2005. I hope

Caro Luís,


Congratulations on your commendable effort - if there is anything we at The Motorsport Memorial Team can help you with (like putting you in contact with our Portuguese and Spanish collaborators, as several of them have extensive personal libraries that may be useful to you), please do not hesitate to ask. Some of them can also help you about racing in the former colonies as well.

I am looking forward to learn more about the little-known Circuito do Esponho, apparently inaugurated in 1934, which has been a rather elusive subject to me...

Um abração e tudo de bom,


Muzza

Thank you Muzza,

I would aprecciate any help. I'll let you know when.


By the way, the circuit you mentioned is "CIRCUITO DE ESPINHO", (not Esponho) a city between Porto and Aveiro.

I have the Circuit's race report published on a 1986 newspaper. If you want I can arrange a way to send it for you.

Abraços

Caro Luís,


Of course! (hitting myself on the forehead) Circuito do Espinho makes all sense - I even know where Espinho is... Unfortunately the name was reproduced as "Esponho" in foreign publications, what put me in the wrong track - but I should have been smarter than that...

Thanks a lot for the offer on that article - that would be great! My e-mail address is info@motorsportmemorial.org.

Valeu, abraços,


Muzza

Hello Frank,

nice to talk to you again, thak you for your suport.

Congratulations for your site too. Great developments since my last visit there.

By the way, I think I've found one more race from the "Trophhée de l'avenir 1976".
It was at Estoril, and I think it was the first race from the calendar.

I know I have a race report somewhere. I'll try to find it, and let you know (or start a new thread)

regards
