Masters Festival 9/10 May Donington.

A bit late starting simply because of the posts in the "Is Donington On" thread.

However whilst there are clashing events at Silverstone and Brands Hatch it would be good to gather all those going to this one in here. Also are there opportunities to race at two of these events on the same weekend?

and Olton Park , Peter ( MG car club ) . In past seasons I have done Olton Saturday and Brands Sunday but have to confess as i get older the fatigue tends to take the edge off my driving. And before any one else says it "theres not much edge to lose"

Hi Peter- I'm there (I think!). Should be first outing in new car so will be a bit scary

I know at least one team doing both HSCC and Masters- the Guards Trophy being on Saturday helps- but one car at one meeting enough for me!

Rumoured to be more cars out in the Touring 70s, so fingers crossed!

Regards, Mike

We will have 2 batmobiles running in Touring 70s and a third was almost completed but we are missing some bits. Sounds like a great grid!

I'm holding out for the Brands event.

Will there be no passing around the construction area as happened in the HSCC event?

That would be good, Terence. You can explain to me the finer points of a lap of Donington- my only experience to date was last May on Ls when the circuit was like an ice rink! (Wet or dry!)

Anyone seen a (reliable) weather forecast?

Unless waved by,the penalty for not going past is one worse than death,ask the CoC.
As for a forcast,it is Supposed to be dry,slight possibilty of a shower with blustery wind's.
Best wait till Saturday,then we'll all know.

Just like to thanks to all involved this weekend. The racing was close at times, but above all clean. As the safety-car observer I was impressed with all the starts, everyone hung back to allow us to get clear, enabling incident free starts.
