[autofocus]

Hi there,

Well, despite suffering from terminal man flu I made it to this yesterday and had a great day.

This event is much smaller than Goodwood but there is a huge variety of things going on with everything from hovercrafts to a JCB Dragster. There was a noticeably bigger crowd than the last couple of years and access was loads better with new bridges and track crossings.

Still working through all of my pics, but here's a selection for now to be going on with.

HR Owen had a great display of Lamborghinis including this stunning LP550-2 Balboni



and two LP570-4 Superleggera's inc the well known Green press car



Bentley sponsored the event for the third year running and put on a great show with a selection of true classics, Le Mans racers and the latest road cars.









Aston Martin also brought along a great looking Rapide



Although not as big as Goodwood there were some stunning cars in attendance.

Baby Bertha



Very pretty Carrera RS



Williams FW06



1917 Brutus - BMW Aero Engined 47 Litre from the Sinsheim Museum



Alan Minshaw in his Maserati Birdcage delights the crowds



There were plenty of bikes on track including this 2009 Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce



JCB Dragster, a static display last year. Real crowd pleaser in 2010



Justin Law takes the bridge towards the finish line in true rally style



Very pretty Jaguar XK120 from the JDHT



and a 1957 Jaguar MK1 in a bit of a slide



There was a big feature on Tom Wheatcroft and the Donington Wheatcroft collection, here is a Ferrari 500/625 Ascari being driven by Kevin Wheatcroft.



This is a true whale tail



James Martin seemed to be enjoying himself



Well driving this who could blame him



There were a few interesting cars in the car park including this: -



Hope you like them.

Regards

Tim
