25 reserves ? That's excellent How many cars are actually confirmed & how many sessions ? Are they graded by experience, power or just randomly ?

Just in case this puts off any late interest in attending the Oulton track day, my earlier reserve comment related to the Harewood hill climb which takes place the following day.

Looking forward to seeing you all there. I'll be in the blue Griff with the go faster stickers but going slower driver!

Thanks for clarification Adrian. Having read your original post again, it was quite clear you were referring to Harewood rather than the Oulton bash. Have a great day.

don't know yet, hence me asking! What about you? I've stayed at The Forresters Arms for the last couple of years. Haven't booked yet though.

No problem - in fact I've just realised I answered the wrong question anyway! To properly answer daftlad's question, unfortunately I won't be at either the Harewood sprint on the 10th July (the day after Oulton) or 28 August (which he actually asked about)!

I've just booked myself into 'Willow Run' - a B&B about 7 miles from the circuit. I didn't want to be too close so the car has a chance to warm through on the way to the track.

If anyone can't make Saturday at Oulton for whatever reason, we need a place! We're on the reserve list with the TVR Car Club BUT if anything crops up at the last minute and you can't go please let us know and we'll buy it off you.

Stuart - I may be able to help here. Looks like early indications of an engine rebuild issue will keep me from attending this Sat at the order of my dealer (and common sense). I have phoned the TVR car club regarding next steps but thought I would flag that there may now be a space freeing up. Pls e-mail me for direct contact as needed.

Just got home, what a fantastic day. Perfect weather, no crashes, excellent circuit.

I'll be back at Oulton again for sure (this was my first time there).

Guess I'll be cleaning the car tomorrow then...

Brill picks, thanks Quasi. Even managed to find myself in there so chuffed at that.

What an incredible day, fabulous weather, brilliantly organised, excellent group of people and defo the best track in Britain. Couldn't have been better.

Thanks to my mate Bruce for letting me drive his car.

No problem with the quality of the shots quasi, all very good.

I dont suppose you got any of a black S (reg G6UNT)

What a stunning circit, beats aerodrome's everytime.

See you all next year.

Your sister is most welcome. Tried as had as I could but could not scare her, but then she is a biker!

You definately got quicker as the day went on and I think you passed me at one point. Though the S was starting to suffer a bit from overheating as the day went on.

Great day!

Yep, car was quite unsettled/skittish in the morning but a little playing with suspension helped that... plus I was following your lines as well as that S of yours certainly loved Oulton!!!!!

Anyone else use DigiDemons the on-site photographers/video team?

I just received my CD. I paid £25 for up to 10 shots of me on the track. However, there were only 4 shots on the CD. How does this compare with others? I feel I've been a little shortchanged.

I will contact DigiDemons, but just wanted to canvass other's experiences/see how many images they got.

Thanks.
