Just in from an enjoyable weekend of Historic Racing at Thruxton which even a deflating air bed in our tent couldn't spoil !
Agree with Chunterer regarding the rehashing of the Historic calendar . Everything needs spacing out although of course European meetings also need to be considered . As far as Testing is concerned , Thruxton is apparently allowed a measly four days most of which are taken by the BTCC and BSB competitors , so Testing or the lack of is still a big problem at Thruxton .
Highlights of the meeting for me were the pair of action packed Sports 2000 races , the BBMF aircraft , the two Group 2 Capris wailing round the circuit in unison but also the cars in the high speed demonstration at lunchtime . An ex Marco Apicella F3000 and former Formula Ford 2000 and Historic hotshot Steve Farthing's F5000 Lola T332 in particular served as a reminder of what is missing from most race meetings these days .
