Well, after reading the write up on the TVRCC site apart from the completey cheesy title it sounds like a quality weekend!

here's the official site

A great venue IMHO with a good motor-racing atmosphere.
I hope the weather is good, as that infield track gets v.slippy in the wet.

Well done TVRCC!

p.s. can we get the B*W on the grandstands replaced with TVR?

Has your googling/streetmapping finger been paralysed in some freak accident, Grouch!

Perhaps we should send someone round to turn your computer on and off, too

I've got more posts to read and I've got to get off to the dreaded work, in the cold I might add. My fingers certainly will be paralysed after about ten minutes out there.

Looks good fun, hopefully I'll be able to arrange to make it this year, especially the track day - shame we couldn't have the whole banked circuit to play with for a while, that would really be something Mind you a few laps of that at full whack would go straight through a set of tyres I'd reckon!

...and the oil surge it causes might wreck a few engines too!

Corby/Kettering way, about half-way between Birmingham and Cambridge. Nice and central...

Aye, think it could be best avoided.

Perhaps they could lend us a V8 Ascar brute for a few laps though

Not to worry Graham, you'll still be recovering from BBWF#2 anyway.

Cheer up! That's one less bit of re-building to do.

Seriously, if there were no limits to the amount of track-time, I'm sure the TVRCC Challenge, Sprint Championship and all other racing TVRs would have been mentioned in the article.

It would be a bit bit of a laugh. Unfortunately, apperntly even people with racing licenses have to do a further test before they can do oval racing.
