The very special BDC annual meeting at Silverstone. You'll find amazing cars everywhere you look, not just on track....

Will include a round of FISCAR in 2017, and two Morgan Challenge races.

Looks like some races at least have been in dry conditions! (according to TSL- http://www.tsl-timing.com/event/173191 )

Good to see young Mr Bryant out in the family Morgan, giving Keith A and father and son Paterson a good race, by the looks of it. Less than a second between first two at the end!

Well done Brian A for winning his class in Equipe GTS, and finishing so high in the general classification. Interesting that fastest race lap was attributed to a car that finished way down, and was a few seconds slower on every other tour..... Timing error, short cut, or a banzai lap?

Only one shower and a few spots all day. Lots of dirty weather either side of the circuit. Currently wall to wall sunshine and warm
Excellent entries and good racing as usual for the BDC .

Shame that this meeting normally seems to coincide with the HSCC Croft Nostalgia Festival (where it's been sunny all day of course!).

Thank you Mike for your kind words - 5th overall is not bad for a tiddler of 1216cc, but I was better in practice.

TSL seemed to be having a number of problems during the day, and certainly the fastest lap quoted for our race is clearly wrong.

But a good days racing even though the only rain happened to come at the start of our race.

Excellent event, ran ahead of time all day.
Glad the Fiscar driver who lost a wheel and ended up on his roof in the Luffield gravel was able to get out and walk away seemingly just shaken.
Good to chat to Mr T.

Good to chat to Mr T.
:
Yep, Paul Ziller in his blue TR2 (154 - see one of John's earlier photos). Heading into Luffield, Stub axle snapped and literally launched the car into a roll. Paul was able to extract himself but was a bit shaken and he was taken to medical centre where he was given a clean bill of health. TR, unfortunately is a real mess. There were at least 3 other competitors in close proximity at the time and it's amazing that they all seemed to avoid it.

Yes, good to catch up, John. Great photos, as usual.

Glad to hear Paul's ok, have spent some time with him in recent years getting his engine to do what it said on the tin It came in. A good guy, with more enthusiasm than is healthy for most people!
