Brands is quoting £10 for tickets on Saturday as well as Sunday!

There's only 4 races! Money grabbing...

If you buy on line it is currently £8 per day but £15 for a weekend ticket for both days. Offer closes 12pm on 27th Sept.

Details via the motorsport vision website.

I've just noticed a delivery fee.....£1.50. Not sure if that is per order or ticket.....

All booked up now then .

I'll see you all there.

I went to the first round at Donington in May 1989, I'm going to try and get to the last one too. It's a shame to see the championship finish, it's given us all so much pleasure over the years

[jamesc]

Anyone else at the first race at Donnington? Jasper do you have an entry list?

Was Petrol Ted there with his BBC model B computer?

[chuggaboom2]

Has anyone got the entry list so far ?...No.6 perhaps ???

[daydreamer]

I've got the official list (nothing to do with the cars that will actually appear ) at home. If its not up by the time I get back, I'll post it tonight.

[daydreamer]

Glad to see that SRO are putting their full commitment into this. After the threads on entry fees support races (i.e. Tuscans pay about 150% of the circuit hire costs - Ginettas about 500%), the spare money has obviously not been spent on the web site.

They are still showing the timetable for the Thruxton races. Very frustrating - we have issue 1, but by now, I would expect issue 5 to be out .

In 1989 Pauline! Where you at the first ever TVR Tuscan race?

Entry list as per final instructions. As 2/3rds of the Ginetta drivers are missing from our list (including the winner of the Dunlop Challenge), I'd take this with a pinch of salt.

3 Hugh Marshall
5 Gerard Coakley
6 Andy Holden
7 Darren Dowling
8 Peter Wheeler
10 Tim Hood
16 Robert Stanton
27 Rod Barrett / Jan Persson
38 Lee Caroline
41 Philip Keen
58 Ben Samuelson
77 Richard Hay
99 Richard Stanton

As mentioned above - this is the official list as per final instructions, so will be totally wrong .

You can definitely add David Mason - No 2 to the list above and I believe Bob Ross No 4 will also be out...

Hui NO 3

[griff2be]

Sorry - been a bit busy....

... as regards entry list - I don't think Ben will be racing, but I'm sure the factory will have someone in the No58 car. There may be one or two more entries too - but not sure.

No6 now has a new back end - just picked him up from Ewelme Coachworks after painting. Huge thanks to Steve Howard (Thames Valley/Insane Racing) for 'stitching' the new bodywork on, and Paul at Ewelme has done a stunning job on the final prep and paintwork in half the time he needed! Diamond geezers

Once again a prang has allowed us to improve the car - we have again chopped out a load of old and heavy repairs - No6's @rse has never looked so good, or been so light

Oh cake will be included. I currently have requests for chocolate fairy cakes, apple & fruit cake and a victoria sponge. Guess I will be bringing a selection round to the Insane racing tent in exhange for a cup of tea.

See you on Sunday guys.

and I promise not to show you the scars from my operation
