I'd love to mate, (if only to passenger in an Esprit!!) unfortunately I'm at Beaulieu during the day and marshalling a road rally overnight, so I'm not going to be around

I did go - lots of Pug, BMWs and Fords. Some nice machinery. Saw a red Elite, going rather gently it must be said. Not as slow as the Ferarri though. Quite a few trackdays cars.

Usual prangs. I was there the next day and three cars were still there awiting collection... Also say a good few oil puffs that looked expensive!

Looks like fun, but I am wary of the people taking it a little too seriously and I can't afford to fix her and even slight body damage would mean a write-off.

MG racing next weekend

Love those V8 MGB GTs

That was S4 Ed in the Esprit, he was taking it gently but apparantly still span it twice so wasnt that gentle! It was so quiet though with the standard exhaust.

The sapphire Cosworth that span just by the pits looked pretty busted, smoke coming from the engine as he lifted the bonnet, poor bugger. Fastest motor I saw was that V8 MGB, gark green, he was really shifting & lapped most the cars within 4 laps, sounded lovely. All in all a good day out. Looking forward to the next one..
