I had a sneak preview of the entry for the Fordwater Trophy at this year's Revival and there are several Granturas - MkII's and III's including the one Mike Youles built for the 72nd Members Meeting

Also some relative rarities two G4s, a Tornado Talisman, a Sabre Six, a Gilbern 1800 and Alan Collett's Iso Rivolta IR300 plus the usual GTS11 regulars

Afraid I didn't get an entry for the Fordwater this year ..........but I am in the Whitsun Trophy ;-)
where can i find the full entry list?

You can't I am afraid. I don't even know who is in the Whitsun Trophy with me. I happened to be shown an unofficial entry list for the Fordwater Trophy at testing last week and as I know many of the competitors made a mental note.

Saturday has been sold out for weeks and Sunday is not far off. As for grandstands you had better book for 2015 in October. In case you aren't aware you cannot buy tickets to get entre to the paddock as that is only for guests of a GRRC member - after all you wouldn't want any oiks in there ;-)

If and when I get an entry list I will publish it here.

I will be at the Revival on the Saturday so will be cheering on the Granny's and Richard's Atilla if either or both are running on the Sat.

I love the photo of Mike Youle's car on the front cover of Sprint this month. That lovely young lady is obviously wearing some period "basket weave" trousers - very TVR! I have to say the car looks pretty tasty as well. I presume you V8 buffs have seen this?
