Went today, excellent little show. Spotted a fellow PH car in the car park, VX220 in silver.

Enjoyed some of the classic racers going up the track, Veyron sounded fantastic and the Formula one was as always something special.

I have a few pictures but nothing special due to my skills.

Its always a good meet - La Vie en Bleu. I was there with the Alpine, did the cavalcade (seems slow after competing there)

Prescott is my local track only 12 mins from home - always great cars there whatever the event

We had a cracking time.. Apart from the sunburn

I'm really surprised that this is not a "bigger" event on the motorsport calendar.

So am I but would you want it to be?

They already fill two big fields plus their own site.
There are lots of downright weird machines there with odd features like brake pedals where accelerators usually are, that have to be rolled down hill to start, that have exposed everything, that have boilers and run on steam.
It is very busy in the paddock, on the hill, in the car parks and on the local roads.

It is probably as big as it can be and still be manageable.

Its big enough (speaking as a local and Bugatti Owners Club member), some of the regular hillclimb events could do with better attendance especially on the saturdays.

There are still plenty of nice cars to see (the car park is always interesting), but you can move around more easily

VSCC at Prescott is almost 4 times the size. It's pretty unbearable.

Same here, but that's the same for any VSCC event based on some rather unpleasant experiences when I worked at the Prescott VSCC event a few years back.
