If you've applied for the orchard pass then yes there's TVR-CC parking. I think it's a joint parking area for the 3 Counties and Oxfordshire groups. There are 25 TVR's booked already so a good turn out. I'm there Saturday. Forecast is looking dry so far, unlike last year!

How do I apply? Through Prescott hill climb website?

Thanks for the capturing the 'off' Jonny. Really amazing pictures. Luckily managed to 'keep it on the island' on T2 & put a quick time in to win the TVRCC class.... My pulse was racing on the startline though.

A really, really great day out & was so good to see the support.

Johnny the photos are awesome. Really clear which must be hard to get on cars moving at speed. It's great to have so much TVR support at sprint events from knowledgeable owners.

Keith - your help fixing Pete's throttle cable was invaluable. We would not have got him back out on track without you.

The snaking out of orchard is a problem with front/rear grip balance. I ruined my rear aero diffuser during a high speed visit to a field at gurston 4 weeks ago and had to remove it so I have less rear downforce and that coupled with slightly harder rear compound tyres means that I struggle with rear grip when it's right on the limit even with a balanced throttle. Not got a cure yet but I will work it out. The off at Prescott did some cosmetic damage only. I worked on it on Sunday and the inner wing is mended, the front diffuser is now rebuilt and it will all be bolted back on this weekend. Ready for Abingdon in 10 days time. ((-:

The snaking out of orchard was a step too far and lost me a bit of time. Must remember to go slower!

Was a great day out supporting the TVR team. The spirit of the event was seeing all the boys working on 3 Nuts' broken throttle cable to get him back on the hill.

This is the in car of that snaking - fun but sadly losing time.
