Anyone going to the OTGP this weekend ?
Hi there,as it says in the title, is anyone going to this once great event ??
I made my return to racing there in 2009 & even picked up a pot, then did the Marathon race the next 2 years .... happy days as Mr. D says. Sadly the Marathon is now defunkt ... lack of entries for a race on the N'schleife , for heavens sake !! The meeting in general is much less well supported, which is a real shame. Anyway, I'll be the Friday as a spectator, so maybe will bump into a 10ther ? Martin |

Delta will be there with Juniors, also my neighbours, Mirage Engineering have cars in Masters F1 races. Sadly the event doesn’t feature on a lot of racers to do list, which is a shame as I had a great time on my two visits! Maybe next year....

Iain, will be good to have a gasbag with you, as ever ! I've already got a ticket organised, but many thanks for the offer .... will catch up with you on Friday. Don't forget your thermal underwear .... today is our 1st day for a month where the temperature is below 30c & it feels bloomin' cold !! Martin |

Woke up in van and a nice cool morning . Paddock buzzing but this meeting sure ain’t what it used to be . There are more shops selling Steve McQueen T shirts than ever. Looking forward to the free hostility later . Qualy today in FJ and Lola MK1 Sports car . Might go and look at the Masters Le Mans cars later . Have a good day .

But, those estimed gentlemen apart - where the **** is everyone? This must be a preview of European Historic racing come next March.....I can't recall so few Brits at an Oldtimer in recent memory.
And the numbers of more modern cars racing, in particular those of a German persuasion, are noticeably in the majority now. |

Just wondering if the “ not able to get HTP” is kicking in . Maybe it’s down to the cost or just tooooo much historic racing . Hey this has all been discussed before .

Mmm, fact that they’re both smiling suggests this pic is possibly posed....

Possibly not......
More pots, plus two tenthers- Simon H and delta- at the prize giving. Apologies for rubbish pic, nothing to do with me! Looks like the light reflecting off Iain’s pot is to blame...... |

Sorry to have had to dash off Iain,client wanting a few demo and instruction laps.
Rest of the day just went by very quickly. Great meeting up again though and hopefully your next visit Ill have more time for. Iain posing for a photo? Never���� Shame they are taking so long to bring the 300k back, Main cause seems to be getting yhe Nordschleife permit.It is very simple though,two previous race results here is virtualy all thats needed.Its the new comers who have most problems. |
