Podium Finish for Team Rebellion

Podium Finish for Team Rebellion. Team Rebellion were delighted to finish in 3rd position and on the podium in only their second Citreon 2CV 24 hour race. The 2017 Citreon 2CV 24 Hours delivered just as much drama as it’s always done, this time at the return to the MSV Snetterton circuit in Norfolk. “Luck […]

2016 Season Review

2016 Season Review. A solid start, missing the middle part and a few driver errors at the end of the season seems to be a fair reflection of how the 2016 BARC SE Quaife Cannons Tin Tops went. Add to that a few wins and never finishing outside the top three all season (when we finished) […]

Bassett Reflects on Snetterton Races

Bassett Reflects on Snetterton Races. The BARC SE Quaife Cannons Tin Tops visited Snetterton in Norfolk for rounds 13 and 14 and with it we knew that if it was dry we would be at a disadvantage to some of the other front-running cars due to the power difference and straight-line speed.
