Yep, my mate is racing in the Fiesta Challenge so I'm going. Will watch the TVR's as well of course. Do you have a timetable as there isn't one on the website at the moment. Probably won't go for both days - see what the weather is like and decide nearer the time which day.

.....Any pics?...Everyone ok?

[Firefoot]

No pics, didn't take the camera. Kirk may have some. Both drivers got out of the cars, but the cars were a mess so not sure if they were injured.There didn't seem to be any ambulance activity though. Looked like two cars hit, fuel tank erupted and a rather large fireball engulfed the one car, and looks like it may have got the other car as well. Hard to tell as everything covered in fire extinguisher powder. Fire used up so many extinguishers that no more racing could be held.

It was a really good day, really enjoyed it (apart from all the wasps). It was good to meet up with the guys having their meet at the pub, nice chaps. It was gutting about th Tuscans, to have two of them just go up in smoke like that. Still it seemed everyone was ok, so not too bad in the end.

Here are some of my pics. Only taken on a digital compact so not professional quality, but some have come out well:

Good pics Kirk. Unless I am very much mistaken, the tvr (no 77) in your 7th pic is one of the ones that was involved in the incident at the end.

Will have to wait to see your pics Dave, work computer says no. Damn web filters grrrr

I thought these cars were banned from Caslte Combe for being too loud, I used to go and watch the GT & F3 racing a few years ago before it got stopped.

Is it back on now???????????
