The Liege-Targa-Liege Endurance challenge was
a two week endurance challenge for kit and homebuilt cars retracing some
of the old road race routes across Europe. The challenge was held at the
end of the summer of 1999 and took the competitors from Spa, near Liege,
in Belgium, through Luxembourg, Germany, France and Italy to the old Targa
Florio Road Race circuit on Sicily. Having driven the Targa Florio, the
route then took the cars back up through Italy, Switzerland, France and
Belgium to Spa. Of the 58 cars that started the adventure, only 38 finished.
An old friend of mine, Adrian, from the Westfield club invited me along
on account of the fact, that in his words "You've stacked and broken
your Westfield so many times, nobody knows how to put them back together
better than you". Compliment or not, I went along with it, and a brilliant
time it was !
