24/9/2015 me and my friend with 27'tudor took a part in Moscow Classic Grand Prix 2015 - the real ring race for classic cars.

Here is my post. Sorry - it is only in Russian, but You can use google translate to understand something. Anyway, feel free to see pics:
Part1: http://www.drive2.ru/l/7754694/

Shortly: we've got 4th and 5th places of 5 participants, having competition with 39'Opel Kapitan, 34'GAZ-A and 25'Bentley.

My best lap (2661m) - 53 kmph average speed, 73,7 kmph max speed (downhill) :-)

Michael,
Thank you for the pictures and story. Don't usually see Model T's on a race track.
Google translator worked pretty well.

Thank you Michael. From the pictures it looks like the Model Ts were the coolest cars on the day. :-)

The Gaz A was a rebadged Ford Model A right? Did they come out with a B motor?

OT, A few years back I sold a 1913 Waverley electric to a collector in Moscow. This was an original unrestored but running car. I have no idea how they were going to charge the car with their electricity. There seems to be much interest in antique cars in Russia.

just sayn'
