	Tiger Racing :: Sportscars For Road And Track :: English Racing Automobiles (ERA) Race Championship details
		The ERA 8 race series through 2004 has been designed to be close controlled racing with every driver on a level playing field.
		The ERA series will give you that fantastic "historic feel" when you go motor racing without the historic motor racing prices, close racing, low running costs, and back up from ERA at each circuit in a close controlled series.
		A factory built ERA, built to race specification is priced at £19,995 plus VAT (£23,494), as with the complete kit this price includes the first 8 race entry fees.

	Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		As the last Grand Prix car from the English Racing Automobiles stable to take to the field, the G-type was never going to set the world alight, although the young man at the wheel in this photograph certainly would.
		ERA began as a shared idea of Raymond Mays, the man behind the BRM efforts of the early 1950s, and Humphrey Cook.
		By the time peace broke out in 1945 ERA found that rule changes had turned their little cars into full-blown Grand Prix machines although with the loss of Cook's considerable wealth from the company Mays found it difficult to carry on alone and eventually sold the company to Leslie Johnson.

		ERA was created by a certain Raymond Mays in the 1930s, and he was a regular at hillclimb events throughout the 1930s, and into the early postwar years, driving these distinctive racing machines.
		Many survive to this day and are regulars at historic racing meets, often humbling much more recent competition cars in the process.
		The ERA is car number 15 in this particular event - if this is of an actual car seen at a particular race or hillclimb in 1937, it may be possible to identify the venue and driver.

	ERA Mini Turbo - A New ERA (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The result is the ERA Mini, a very logical choice in that the company has good relations with Austin Rover, the Mini still has a certain cult appeal, and there's a fairly straight forward way of giving it a dramatic increase in performance without the company having to spend a fortune in engine development.
		ERA chose the wide open spaces of Bruntingthorpe for their press introduction (although the likes of Editor Ward had had the opportunity to drive it on the roads around Donington at the recent SMMT test day described in the July Issue); that gave ample opportunity to explore the Turbo's full performance.
		ERA estimate that top speed should be 115mph but with 105mph showing as Bruntingthorpe's runway ran its course, it seemed cruel to keep the throttle hard down any longer.

		ERA was founded towards the end of 1933 in Bourne, Lincolnshire by Humphrey Cook, a young man who was irritated that no British car had won a major continental race since Henry Segrave a decade earlier, and who hoped to produce a British car with the ability to win Grands Prix.
		ERA became primarily a research and development operation, although it still did a small amount of race preparation, and in the 1980s put its name to the ERA Mini Turbo, a turbocharged version of the Mini Cooper S capable of 115mph.
		The pre-WW2 ERAs are still often driven competitively, and they are particularly associated with the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb thanks in large part to Mays, who won the first two British Hill Climb Championships in 1947 and 1948; indeed an ERA has for many years held the hill record for a pre-war car.

	English Racing Automobiles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		English Racing Automobiles (ERA) was a British racing car manufacturer active from 1933 to 1954.
		By the end of the year ERAs had scored several victories in fields containing many more established marques, and through the mid- and late 1930s ERA came to dominate voiturette racing, with drivers of the calibre of Dick Seaman driving for the team.
		Today, the pre-WW2 ERAs are still often driven competitively, and they are particularly associated with the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb thanks in large part to Mays, who won the first two British Hill Climb Championships in 1947 and 1948; indeed an ERA has for many years held the hill record for a pre-war car.

		The successes in hillclimbs and racing were encouraging and for the 1933 season Mays had the White Riley prepared with the assistance of Peter Berthon and Victor Riley.
