This is the website of Curry Pot Productions & C2P Racing, a site created for those interested in historic motor racing in Southeast Asia.

 

We came up with "Curry Pot Productions" during the tail end of the 2003 Hong Kong Classic Car Club (CCCHK) racing season at the Malaysian Formula 1 race track in Sepang, when a faulty dipstick had fooled us into believing that the little 2-litre Pinto engine needed an enormous 4-litre pot to hold the oil being pushed out. And the only pot we were able to find was at a little provision shop selling curry pots!

 

We had initially decided to create this website as part of a project to film two documentaries on vintage and classic racing, but you just try to film while participating in an event and see where you end up. So we've put our Independent film on hold and now use this site to share our racing experiences with friends and fellow race car owners - petrol heads, adrenaline junkies, etc.

 

This site serves as a repository for two books written by Eli Solomon: "Snakes & Devils - A History of the Singapore Grand Prix", the definitive book on the original Singapore Grand Prix, published by Marshall Cavendish, and an upcoming two volume small print run of  "Red Flags & Lost Circuits of Southeast Asia", to be published by Curry Pot Press. It also houses the online site for Singapore Rare Books - a bookshop specialising in Singaporeana, Southeast Asia and Motorsport.

We hope you enjoy this site as much as we have in fuelling it.
