A bit sunnier than the Masters festival!

Nice pics, got any of the other series?

Will post some of mine tomorrow. A grand day out, and am a bit wind/sunburnt too.

But well worth it. The cars, the noise.....

Thanks all. My username's a bit misleading now actually as I joined PH years ago when I had my 'Rado G60 - I've actually got a VR6 now!

I saw one other Corrado in the car park yesyerday - an incredibly shiny and well cared for red 'valver.

I certainly was a bit windswept after the race yesterday although it was just the ticket to clear my hangover!

T'was indeed a superb day out, some really great action on the track and was good to see such a good turnout spectator wise.

Race of the day had to be the Historic Saloons on sunday afternoon, thouroughly enjoyed that

Lovely pics there, I was there as part of the Autoglym drift team doing the lunchtime demo, plenty of snappers around the track out then, anybody got any good ones?


What a great event

I'm still not sure how they all avoided each other, first at Druids and then Paddock Hill Bend... great preservation skills!!!

The Derek Bell Trophy races were both excellent too, less than 2 seconds covering the first 5 over the line second time round!

Mine is red and was resprayed in 2005 as the dusky pink look was getting embarrassing, it was parked at the top of Druids near the bridge over Pilgrims.

It was all a bit close wasn't it!! I was fortunate to be standing up at Druids when the yellow Anglia spun causing some quick thinking avoidance tactics from the other drivers!!

I moved around to the exit of Druids for the rest of the race to get the optimum view of Dan Cox in the Red Cortina oversteering on every lap!!

Just a few, will upload more later

I was there too

I really enjoyed the Derek Bell Trophy - the FF5000 cars looked and sounded great. Good to see such a large crowd.

Were you parked under the trees at the top of Druids?

[Neil G60]

Love the first pic Mutley - really nicely composed I reckon.

It was soo good being in the pits when the DB Trophy F1 cars fired up. The Parmalat Brabham is such a hansome and elegant looking beast. So much prettier that today's mess of winglets and spoilers.

I was there on Saturday.
Did anyone get some photos of Car 41 in Race 1 on Saturday (Formula Juniors Classes C+D) It was a Green Lotus 18.

Went on Sunday, top day. Think one of my favorites was the 6 wheel tyrell. Some of my photos, the rest can be found here - top link

Hi Ben - Yes, that was me. Rocked up around lunchtime - hope to be back there again for the F3/GT meeting in a couple of weeks but I guess you'll be at Le Mans for the Classic?
