Anybody else going?

There are loads of good races penned in for Sunday and Monday with a maximum crown expected.

Yep I'm going on Monday. Monday's the only whole day of motorsport. It's a good 3 - 4 hrs travel for me though.

I wanted to go in the Chimaera but the grounds official told me it'll be busy and so cars won't be allowed on the grass viewing areas. Bu99er, I'll have to go in the Frontera, don't fancy parking it with the numpties.

Bob, I was there the other day and they already had the metal fences in place.

I wouldn't worry, I'm still taking the Griff as there are still plenty of grass areas to park happily.

IMO you wont need your Frontera.

Plus the sun will probably be shining and you'll only be on a downer all day if you dont take the Chim.



P.S : Dont blame me if it pi**es down and you ground your Tiv!!

I'll be there all weekend. Should be a great weekend, helping out on a Lister Chevy in the classic sports car races

Thats a great car that is. Shame Julian Bronson spun off at Cascades. Two great days of racing, though the FORCE race today was a little bit of a farce. Well done to Martin O'Connel though. Vastly underated driver.

It's a fantastic car, 400 ish BHP and very little weight. We spent most of the day after qualifying changing the front springs and setting the suspension up to suit the circuit a little better...he found 6 seconds straight away, got to 3rd place....then binned it

Missed all of the other races during the weekend but the machinery around kinda made up for it!

Next stop, Goodwood

Makes a wonderful noise as well. Looks a bit of an animal out of slow corners
