I have just finished polishing my steed for tomorrow, mini no.36. Come and say hi if you go!

We have a TVRCC display on both days. I'll be there on Sunday with a nice selection of cars including Tim Davis' Group A Tuscan Challenge car.
Come & say hello.
Nick.

Will get down there someday, but sadly national rounds of the championship come first.

What's it like for spectators/taking pictures?

[ncs]

No problem for taking pics.

Yesterday was the first time I'd got along to this event. There were some great cars there, and access track side was brilliant, as well as being able to get in amongst the cars in the paddock. Have a few pics...

Somebody must have a pic of the Chapparrall? I saw a phone vid of it taking off and it was awesome!
Allways a good event this one and also they are lucky with the weather every year. Its a great feeling for sprinters to have some spectators watching, makes up for all the desolate, rain swept airfields they use for most of the year.

Here's what it looks like to crash at the hairpin and then set a 34.32.

Lots of footage taken from various points on the course:

There is an official photographer who would have some, maybe check the Motorsports at the Palace website.

The Photographers on the day were Gridshots, i'm sure there was also some others

I've got plenty of pics of various cars from sunday but as i was sprinting myself on the monday I didn't get much chance for taking photos. I'll have a chat with my father though who was busy snapping cars on Monday to see if he has anything.

Not as good a shot as I would have liked, but it might have been one of my hairpin 'victims'.
