Pembrey Festival of Motorsport
Discussion
Yes I will be taking part in the WRDA demonstrations. Not really sure what LMFC is. I notice it is around lunch time where normally the track will be closed for the Marshalls to have a break but it could also be Llanelli Model Flying Club. Where did you get that flyer I havent seen one of those.
Don't quote me but I believe a Scumacher Benetton, a Lotus and a Hesketh. There is a nice article in the Motorsport newspaper. Loads more stuff listed there also. I think it says Narain Karthikeyan will be doing a demo in an F3 car. There is also another unconfirmed F1 driver so read into that what you will.

I'm definitely going now. It's too long since I heard an F1 engine up close. Fingers crossed there's a DFV among them.
Just seen this on http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/Circuit-revs-Fes...
"The weekend will again be an opportunity for fans to hear the wail of F1 engines, as three cars take to the track. They include an ex-Michael Schumacher Bennetton B192, a Lotus and a Hesketh, the latter a car that shook F1 by being constructed in a small stately home workshop and driven to victory by British F1 world champion James Hunt.
"There's no racing as such, but we'll have demo runs of vehicles from big trucks to motorcycles."
The Double R Racing Formula Three Team will also be there, with one of its Dallara-Mercedes cars that will be driven by current F1 racer Narain Karthikeyan.
There is also a chance that Bruno Senna may drive, making a pilgrimage to the track that his uncle tested on.
With his similar race helmet, it would be an evocative sight to see another Senna lapping Pembrey."

I also went down for a couple of hours and a great day out especially hearing the lotus f1 car on track spoke to the welsh saloon/sports car series as im building a kit car so might end up racing it aswel. I hope they do it every year something similar to the castle combe rally day which is another great day out.
I went over this morning and while sadly it was too wet for the F1 cars to go out I'm still glad I went.
It was interesting to speak to the owners and mechanics with the cars and to almost stick my head inside a Cosworth HB F1 engine running without an airbox. Seeing the fuel vapour and the slide throttles moving about isn't something I do every day.
