Just watching the fun on livestream. Spring has arrived.

Some great and interesting cars and bikes from the past.
Some real enthusiasts, and some famous faces in unfamiliar territory - but full credit to them for being there. Often an opportunity for amateurs to dice with and beat the pros.

Touring car drivers normally put on a good showing as it’s their natural environment, but they also have to respect other people’s cars.

Great that motorsport is still about events like these - not just F1, F1, F1………

It's the first Members Meeting I haven't attended since it's relaunch. For me it's certainly the best even out of MM/Revival and FoS.

I love the ‘spirit of taking part’ - but the racing should also see a few with the ‘will to win’ eek

Who's the female commentator, it's like a check list of tropes, "you can't win the race on the first lap but you can lose it". Adding nothing.

Was there no official thread for this members meeting-I've had YouTube on all weekend and bloody loved the coverage and racing-such brilliant content for free.

Hope the motorcycle racer is OK after the accident that required the red flag.

That was Alice Powell who is/was a pretty competent racing driver.
I watched the racing on the YT livestream, and actually thought the commentary team were pretty good.

One of the male commentators (not Ben Edwards) was a bit shouty for me.
