Not sure what gates will be open for spectators though.

Anyone know how to find this out? The entrance pictured above would be very handy for us

I will ask SRO and get back tomorrow morning!

[JulianPH]

Anyone who was down for jackets and baseball caps who has not yet received them, if you are going to Donnington Park this weekend you can pick them up from the Neon Street stand.

Just ask for Phil.

OK, not quite the morning!

Coppice is open if you have booked tickets for it.

If you need an emergency ticket I will see what I can do!

Just picked up both caps and jackets, thanks
Not seen anyone else in them mind.

Been a great day so far with surprisingly good weather. Not looking so good for tomorrow but at least I have a nice new coat to keep the worst off!

Great to hear mate!

We had over a thousand PHers going originally, but CV19 has royally buggered it up.

We picked ours up at a similar time....hiked to the middle and back, just in time for a post-qualifying snap & a fabulous biscoff ice-cream before he drove away!
Gratuitous publicity shot


Thanks Julian!

No problem Mike

Glad you had a good day yesterday and I hope the drizzle clears up quickly for today.

I might see you if I can get there myself today, but if not I will be at Donington 2 anyway, as I am being interviewed for the TV coverage at that one, so if you want to return I'll see you then!

Cool photo!

Cheers

It’s a little damp up at Donington today but the IM jacket is keeping me dry. Thanks again Julian and the rest of the IM team.

No problem Mark and I hope you are enjoying it!

Great photo!

It certainly looks a bit misty there but seems like you've got a good viewing point.

Have you considered being a model. You're showing off that jacket very nicely.

I reckon Julian should pay you for modelling it.

I am just trying to work out how bloody tall he is!

A110MW said:

I’m 6ft5!

One hundred and and sixty five feet tall!

I think beer may have been involved when I posted this last night!

A drier weekend in Sept could make a great option!
Cheers!

I'll see you there then!

I've now finished watching the second race. That was even more exciting than the first race due to weather conditions but I will so no more so as not to spoil it.

Great to see prominence of IntelligentMoney logos in the sponsorship.

Cheers mate!

Hi there,

Really enjoying the 2020 season so far. Some great racing.

I have uploaded my gallery from Oulton Park which can be found here :-

https://www.dunlopix.co.uk/British-GT-Championship...

I have another to do from Donington Park which I hope will be online later this week. I will share the link when done.

Regards

Tim

Some great photos there Tim!

I will add a terrible one here of Kelvin and I round at my house yesterday evening!

Is the Donington GP2 going ahead in September? I emailed the gt@ email account back in June but did not get a reply.

Let me get it sorted for you.

Just PM me with the details and I hope to see you there!

Cheers

That Kelvin is built like a brick sthouse.

Proper petrol head as well.

Hello mate

He seriously is!

Also just a really nice normal bloke who hasn't let his celebrity status go to his head in the slightest.

Enough about you ..... what's Kelvin like

[JulianPH]

In further news, another PHer and myself are soon to announce some more grass roots racing with a new team, Intelligent Money Racing!

The bigger stuff is great, but this is just as exciting and even more involving.

All I can say now is that the car will be a Porsche, but much more to follow as we get prepared for the 2021 season!

I want to build this up and just like the GT Championship I will be behind this all the way.

Obviously life is not complete until you have your own racing team, but even this comes with problems - as my wife has just put my chequebook in the shredder!

Porsche Classic Boxter Cup?

I can't say right now mate!

Ah, so we now find out it's not buying Williams, and contracting Porsche for the engines either.........

Funnily enough, after it was announced I was sponsoring the British GT I had a call from someone about sponsoring Williams in the F1 this year (which I wasn't really interested in)!

I am more interested in supporting grass roots racing (not that the British GT is quite grass roots!).

We are probably looking at starting with MSVR SuperCup or 750 Enduro with the IM Racing team.

For now, that is all I can say as the only thing confirmed to date is I have agreed to provide the financial backing for this venture.

Cheers mate!





Edited to actually make sense!

Anyone going to Brands this weekend?

Hi mate

I know there are quite a few going from the IM finance thread.

Sadly I am not going to be able to make it, but will be at Donington Park 2!

That's a shame, would have been good to catch up, on the bright side it means I don't have to put a wheel clamp on the car and pay for extra security guards

I take it you are still enjoying your new toy!
