Excellent, thanks. It's in the diary

[Brithunter]

Well a week to go and this will be my first meeting in a TVR. Let's hope the weather is kind like last year.

[QBee]

Any information on the Saturday run-outs, or are they a closely guarded secret this year?

[MisterT]

Anthony,
As I understand it on Saturday there is a run at 11:00 and a second at 14:00 from the Royal Oak at Duddington PE9 3QE.

I found a PDF of the route on the TVR CC website here
https://tockify.com/tvrccevents/detail/157/1523095...

I'm aiming for the 11:00 run

[QBee]

Thank you for that useful info. Are they both the same route?

[richard sails]

Yes its the same route, just two different starting times.

[ukkid35]

That was great fun

Thanks to the organisers, and to those who generously gave up their passenger seats

[plfrench]

Does anyone know how saturated the grass is looking at Burghley? I'm assuming the parking for the TVRs will be on the lawns out the front of the house like last year - or is there somewhere else that can be used?

[phillpot]

Given that it's on a fair slope I'd hope it's not too bad?


But you never know...........

[ukkid35]

Good turn out, despite the weather ultimately turning sour

Big thank you to the organisers and marshals who persevered in difficult conditions

It looks (and sounds) a lot better in real life than on the photos and videos

I hope the V8S driver and passenger who had an almighty smash up on the M11 on the way back from Burghley are ok, not sure if it was anyone on here but I can't see that car seeing another day. Wishing you well whoever you are

I wasn't expecting it to be there so was surprised when I came across it. People had said it's better in the flesh so was hoping to be more impressed. Unfortunately it hasn't changed my opinion of it. A great technical result from TVR but nothing that'd make me want to buy one had I the cash. Which I haven't. So it's academic. We got to Burghley at lunchtime and unfortunately cars were already steadily leaving. Shame, but nice to see some TVRs this year!
