August dates......

[longers]

Hi all,

Some of the following may not be of interest but thought I'd let you know anyway.....
13/8 - I know it's the Northants run but if like me you cannot commit to much time on Sunday or are a bit further north then the TVR Car Club are having a meet at the Fox & Hounds at Exton in Rutland from 12.00. It was well attended last year, approx 30-40 cars.
It's also the GP Masters at Silverstone and F3 & British GT's at Rockingham but, again, time constraints make these tricky for me.

20/8 TVR Racing at Mallory. I missed Rockingham which is only about 6 miles from where I live and never having been to Mallory before I'd like to go to this one. Anyone else fancy it?

27/8 Le Mans Series at Donington Park. This'll be a good'un. Nothing can beat the full Le Mans 24hr experience but this is a great chance to see the same cars on a top circuit. It's also a fab road from Uppingham - Melton - Donington.

PS Usual disclaimer applies to any dates or events I mention at the moment i.e. for me all of the above are new baby permitting!!

Ian, I'd like to go to Mallory, if domestics allow. I can't make the 13th, which is a shame 'cos that'd be good as well. dave

another one for August, although not motorsport orientated is the Balloon festival in Northampton 18th - 20th

Yes please Iain

I'll save Iain the trouble and say "Click here"

Looking forward to this, especially as the Tivs are getting two races now! I'll also be going to the LMS race at Donington, to see the Astons exact their revenge over the 'Vettes , although they're not the works cars that were at Le Mans. Oh, and the glorious-sounding Murcielago

This weekends British GT races at Rockingham are split over two days so there is a one hour race on Saturday 12th at 4:35pm if anyone can't make Sunday.
