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 |

I'm holding out for the Brands event.
Will there be no passing around the construction area as happened in the HSCC event? |

Is this a 2 day meeting or 1 day?
I am asking because the Donington Park website is listing is as Sunday only. Autosport is listing it as a 2 day meeting. |

Er Terry, you've completely lost the apostrophes and found formatting. Must be the excitement!

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.
