Just to remind you all that the Tuscans are out at Croft this weekend - qualifying on Sat and 2 races on Sunday. Racing starts at 12pm. Cost is £20 on Sunday. The programme includes F3, Ginetta, Radicals, Formula Ford, VW Cup etc...

The weather forecast is good and light refreshments are available for PH members at the Insane Racing team awning.

Look out for the PH banner on the side of the awning and me lurking about in PH paddock jacket/cap/hat/shirt...

Please come and say hello!

I'll be there on Sunday. Can't make my mind up whether to go on Saturday (never been on Sat before).

Must keep an eye out for Ted/Griff2be

Right, I'm off up to the circuit. Had a stressful day - the worn rose joint on the damper we spotted yesterday turned out to be that right rear damper is bent Another legacy of my Donington shunt.

After many phone calls, Penske are sending someone up to the circuit to re build it first thing in the morning.

Assuming we get it fixed in time, it'll be nice to be able to brake for the hairpin and not have the rear of the car jump off the tarmac.

Saturday costs £10 - races are 3 x Radicals, FF and Ginetta

Sunday is Tuscans, F3, VW Cup, FF, Ginetta - kicking off at 12pm, for £20.

Hope to see some PHers over the weekend. Don't be shy - come and say hello!

Hey Charlie. How are you? Didn't know you frequented these boards. Good luck in the races on Sunday. I'll certainly be there if I can.

whwt time are the tuscans racing - got to be near Harrogate in the morning for a christening (11am), but maybe the rest of the day has just fallen into place. Might be able to make it for 2ish

This was posted on the Tuscans forum earlier:

Anyone know if there is some reserved 'TVR' parking like there was last year?

Thanks for the hospitality Ted.

God's country weather to boot. Just lathering on the after-sun as I type this. Peter Wheeler's Tuscan is a nice colour, my Chimaera would look great in that.

Saw the qualifying yesterday - got there a little late (ie free ), great afternoon lazing on the banks watching the racing, missed it all today (spleen already vented elsewhere). Wandered down the pit lane, saw the PH banner, but everyone looked kinda busy, so decided to leave you all to it...

Saw a white S and a couple of Chims on the A1 northbound this am (I was going the other way), and the red M by the entrance to the pit lane yesterday was a bit special (not forgetting the cerbie in the first car park and a couple of tuscans).

Bet it was a good day.

Good to see Ben up there on the Podium. He seems to be looking after his bonnets this year as well.

Thanks JC for the results.
