I went on Sunday - quite a good day of racing as you say. Highlight for me was the F1 (the sight and sound of those is always special). Gerry Marshall trophy was good fun too, a good mix of machinery there. Pre 66's were good - maybe lacking some of the variety of old? Could just be my perception - maybe it's the hordes of Cortinas.
The new GT grid was pretty small - I'm not sure that warrants a place on the bill here yet, those cars still have other homes that they can race in. The endurance legends grid wasn't huge either - but those cars do get a free pass on that front because they're just spectacular to watch around the GP circuit. Shame that damage and reliability thinned them out further for the second race. Also the inclusion of GT3 cars (or car
) seems odd -again they still have places to race. Having said that if someone brought out one of the Morgan GT3 cars for this I wouldn't be complaining.
