I`ve started this thread after asking Steve Holmes what his thoughts were, as I believe there are some real interesting stories, photos, etc that are relevant to motor racing throughout the world over the years using these means of transport. You have various scenarios of people racing the same car in one place one day, and then another country the next, courtesy of overnight airfreight, or Indy 500 drivers qualifying at Indianapolis in the morning, then flying to Charlotte, North Carolina to run in the 600 mile NASCAR race that night, then returning to Indy. Also of interest this would be a place for the likes of Barry Algie to tell us about some of his exploits retrieving planes/parts out of remote areas of Papua New Guinea, which has briefly been shared on another thread.... I realise this is a historic motorsport website but I think it`ll fit in with the big picture......
