Awesome names, but is there any way for me to get there from Nottingham City Centre using public "transport" as I don't have my own set of wheels down here at the moment

Looks like a good day in prospect though

That might not actually be as hard as you'd think, what you want to look for is the Airport link bus timetable, it used to go from Victoria Centre bus depo to East Mids Airport, and it's only a short taxi ride or a good walk to the Circuit

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that airport being so close, could get there then I hope. Will ask around and see if I can drum up some interest from mates!

those top hat races are great value! watched them at castle combe on the last bank holiday. some real giant killing happens in some races.

ginetta G12 racing and overtaking a full blown GT40
minis mixing with ford falcons and mustangs

excellent shows why historic racing is so popular

Surely it should say LUNCHEON not LUNCH, especially for the Sunday itinerary?

Did you see the pre-war 2.9 Alfa parked in the pits? Incredable bodywork.
