Ive been reading the old VDW file archived on the xxxxxracing forum, and which has some references to Fineform, which in turn I am researching with a view to updating/improving for everyone's benefit. The most relevant information appears to have been researched and posted by Marchwood, now sadly deceased. He makes reference to some points charts which he had sent to xxxxxfor posting in the Systems section. Unfortunately, this was back in 2001, and would have been long since archived by now. Does anyone know how or if I can access these old system archives? I still beleve that Fineform, amended, can be profitable, and if I can gain access to this old information and make some progress, I am happy to post up amendments for the benefit of all.
Thank you in advance,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Sorry, didn't notice your original post.
Unless someone took a copy of them at the time, then I'm afraid they are probably gone for good. If they were emailed to G, I suppose you could try and get in touch with him. It will depend how organised he was with his emails! But the chances of him having the data is slim I'd say.

Les, Top Member, thanks, I've read the Marchwood article you mention, very interesting. Unfortunately, Marchwood, aka Gerald Simpson died last year so we will no longer benefit from his great knowledge.
I shall be interested in your take on the Fineform ratings, should you feel you would wish to share it.
With thanks,
Steve
