Donnington en route to Chatsworth on the Saturday

[amazon]

This has already been mentioned on the main Chatsworth thread, but thought I would separate it out to catch peoples attention!

Mike (itsallyellow) is racing in the first round of the GT Cup at Donnington on Saturday, 28th April - there is qualifying and a race on the Saturday, but I don't know the timings. I expect that Mike will be along shortly.

Either way, I am planning to leave the Cambridge area and run up to Donnington to see Mike and watch some racing, before continuing on to Chatsworth.

Just wondered if anyone else was thinking about doing the same? And shall we hook up en route perhaps?

Hi Nicky, we had thought about doing the same. Was also speaking with redspike66 at the weekend, and they were also considering doing the same.
Would be good to get a strong TVR presence to support Mike

I'd noticed that a few people seemed to be thinking of doing this, so I thought it was worth starting a separate thread to capture that group . And yes, it would be a great start to the season for Mike :thumpup:

Shall we do a list?

Hi all,

The timetable has not been released yet so will post it up as soon as I know.

Would be great to have people supporting us there. Silverstone last year was brilliant having well over 25 of you there to cheer us along!

Cheers
Mike

Will there be cake?

[itsallyellow]

I would hope so! Lemon drizzle Nicky? :-)

[Gazzab]

See you there.

@Grahamn - that would be great MG!

@sparkesp - Of course!

@itsallyellow - if that is your wish, then yes, it can be lemon drizzle (is that 'cos it's yellow? ).

@Gazzab - looking forward to seeing you! It's been too long

[RedSpike66]

Yep, Saturday looking good, and the last race on Sunday too..

Keep out of the kitty litter this year eh Mike ??!! You now have the car, tyres etc to go with your talent !

Sorry but i have looked through the racing drivers book of excuses and i cant see "it was my fault as the tyres and car were good" excuse anywhere so that surley cant happen! :-)

Less than a week to go!

Do you know if there is any infield parking, or just in the outer parking areas?

[RedSpike66]

Nigel, you don't wanna be parking in any field whatsoever for the next week or so - you will get rather stuck !

Mike, I hate to tell you, but the outer parking at Donny is on grass, or should that be mud
There is quite a bit of hard area inside the circuit, but presumably most of this will be taken up by the racers.

[Gazzab]

Well it was a field to park in!
Great racing from Mike. Unfortunately he span at the first corner. Ended up at the back of the pack. Made for great entertainment as Mike made his way through the pack (like a hot knife in butter).
Mike ended up sixth. A great result although mike wasn't exactly pleased to come sixth!
The strength of the opposition is scarey! Mosler and Aquila being more like Le mans prototypes.
Good to see mike see to the 911s, M3s and the odd Ferrari. The Mclaren wasn't there. Hope to see mike see to the Nissan next time.
