Yes, but a stay, not a reprieve.

IMHO it's still gone...

[Prof Beard]

With some effort by enthusiasts it could be put off for years...

I agree with the prof above....

We must keep up the pressure regardless and keep a careful watch in case the developers try to sneak in through the back door!

Places like Curborough are unique in this area of built up urban sprawl and as enthusiasts we must try to protect it at all costs...

Sorry... rant over.

Anyone going Sunday???? its the TVR Sprint Championship....

Cheers Roy

I feel I should.

I assume that now the scheme has been removed from the Governments 15 proposed "eco" sites list that any decisions regarding a "traditional" scheme would lie with the Local Authority as opposed to Central Government?

[Prof Beard]

[RedCabbage]

If the weather is not good enough for some proper detailing (which I plan to do over the next four weekends, BG is awfull, it's not had a proper clean for two years) I will be over.

To be fair, there's rather a lot of car...

Aha, just what I came here looking for...

Did anyone go to the sprint on Sunday?? and did anyone manage to get any pictures/ see the Blue TVR Cerbera in action??

[RedCabbage]

Regretably I was tied up on the house refurb.

[P100]

[Prof Beard]

I went - have some pictures - not action ones but I believe I have one of the Cerb in the paddock. What number did you have on it?

[BCA]

Not a clue, I was stuck at work unfortunately - I'll ask Dad when he gets back later...

If it helps, it was the last car of the day to run and it finished by doing 100mph through the traps then spun or slid at a perfect 90 degrees to the track all the way towards the seperating bollards at the start.

[Prof Beard]

Is this it?

[BCA]

yep...

Awful paintwork, looks slightly tired at 76k miles old, but performs better than it did out of the factory. I like the motorsport/well used look, and dad loves competing at Curborough!
