Dear Colin, I am lucky enough to have an old Lola T332 hanging about in my barn. Currently it is without its engine, which for me is good news as I was planning to make it electric. What do you think of this idea in these increasingly green times and would 5kW be enough? Greta Cinq-Mille

Dear Greta,

Five kilowatts is a very small amount of energy but should be adequate for you to run yourself over with your e-Lola. Which in my opinion is what you deserve. To recover from your question I spent an hour reading ‘Daring drivers, deadly tracks’, the autobiography of Brian Redman. It did the trick.
