Thruxton Easter Revival.

Saw an ad for this recently, apparently happening next weekend.
I guess that they are maybe trying to get in on the success of the Goodwood Revival.
I see it's been on for the last couple of years, anyone been?

I've been the past two years and i thought it was really good. Probably the largest grids away from the BTCC Thruxton gets. Some extremely close but fair racing from all different championships. Admission prices are quite fair as well.
I will be going again this year weather depending.

A few pics from last years...

Cheers Matt,
Nice pics.
Do they just have action "on track" or do they recreate the era like Goodwood?

Thanks. All the action is track based and although they don't recreate the era as such the atmosphere is really good, I normally get there early and look around the paddock as it's great to see the cars close up.
It's one of my favourite race meetings and a good one to start the year!

Great two days with some really close racing!
Weekend was overshadowed by a terrible accident for one of the clubman drivers out around the back of the circuit this afternoon where his car was split in two pieces. Hopefully no serious injuries and a speedy recovery is possible.

I'll put some pics up at some stage!

thoroughly enjoyed Sunday, and amazed at the price. The only real motorsport events I got to are Goodwood, and it was a refreshing change to have a day which cost me 15.00 for entry and programme, which at Goodwood would have got me a programme only!
Clearly not in the same galaxy as Goodwood, very much enjoyed.

I went for the second time this year.
A great days entertainment and would definately go again.
Spotted a few PH stickers in the car park. Clio and a 993 Turbo?
