Donnington classic yesterday

[200Plus Club]

had a really good day, saw some great cars including the rally car demos of the 6R4 , Audi quattro, manta etc, and my fav (biased) the Sunbeam Lotus.

the Lancaster fly-by was great, as was the racing. A chap was unfortunately killed in his mini in the historic Touring cars which put a sad end to a nice event :-(

anyone else attend with their classic ?

Yes heard about the guy in the mini very sad indeed .
I was there in my Datsun 240z , not the biggest show ever but still some good stuff to view .

Was there in the X1/9, probably the only one there, good day out and roof off all the way home.
A sad end to the day , condolences to his family and friends.
Nice to see so many 240Z s. and Honda NSX s

the paddock was interesting looking at the engineering of the group C cars etc, i missed my fav racing with the Lolas and GT40s on saturday. decent show overall, could do with a few more traders. will be good when they finish landscaping the infield and inner roads as its a tip at the mo following on from the F1 debacle.

The fellow who pegged out in the Mini was called Chris Devereux and was a very nice chap.

Yes, I was there for the weekend on our club stand, I put some photos in the motorsport thread. A sad end indeed.

friend was going to get tickets, but didn't get his ass into gear, so didn't get there. sorry to hear there was a death, thoughts and sympathies to all involved.
