Tell them you are taking them on a trip to a special celebration to do with Puddings.

I'm sure they will love it. Obviously they would need to stay spectator side of the bridge.

Rudernst and coppice - it's a great day out in proper clubbie style. The races are simply saloons, sports cars, solo motorcycles and sidecars - 2 races each. It attracts quite a mixture of entries.

We did the event a few years ago and it was -11 C as we arrived in the paddock that morning - wrap up warm!

We were going - my brother driving his MX5 and me on spanners as usual but had to withdraw when the gearbox failed at a track day a few days ago. Maybe we'll go and spectate!

Looks like I am going - question to regulars please. Is the parking on hardstanding (in which case it's in the MX5 ) or grass( the 4x4 Yeti on winter tyres )?

This.

I would imagine that the gravel tracks and parking areas may suffice for firm standing but if not then the overspill will be on grass.

I have not been all the way around the outside for a year or so but unless things have changed access the far side of the circuit where where is a lot of gravel based parking and good viewing is quite potholed but worth the trip.

To be honest, out of your two options I think I would take the Yeti anyway. However either should be fine.

Smashing day out , well attended and good entries . But no PA at all , no commentary . Not a problem but I assume the commentator referred to in the programme was 'indisposed ' ?

Enjoyed seeing some exuberant driving - circuit certainly not too grippy - and the sight of a motorbike racer dressed as Batman ......

The commentator was there and talking ... I assume the PA was very quiet at your part of the circuit

A selection of photos from the car section of the meeting. Bike photos will follow shortly.

Excellent day out - shame we could not hear the commentary - it would have helped as the timetable was adjusted after the attempt to dig a trench in front of us at the Esses - sequence in the gallery.

Anyone know why the G50 didn't run ? We arrived mid morning so may have missed the cause.

Having seen Martin Short in the Dallara at the WHT wonder if he fancies a trip to Mallory next year ... :-)

Heck of an action sequence with the trench digger!

Richard Thurbin's Ontegrale looks goo though I can't help thinking the off course excursion wasn't necessary to demonstrate his 4-wheel drive.

The reason the timetable was adjusted was that there was oil around much of the track so the decision was made to take lunch early so that the sweeper could drive round & clear it. It was particularly dangerous as it was not visible - even standing on the track with the sun behind me & knowing where it was I couldn't really see it.

It was damaged in practice, I believe on the exit from the hairpin.

It does look good - beautifully engineered.

I was on post 7, so his off-course excursion happened right in front of me. . . I did casually mention it to him at lunchtime. Not sure why he felt it necessary to do a repeat performance in his second race!
