That'll annoy the neighbours!! Renault tested there a couple of years ago and much grumbling was had by the local villagers......

Slightly off topic - are there any actual qualifications for a venue to host straight line tests? If not, perhaps they could have gone for somewhere more local (to them) with a longer runway like Bentwaters?

yes, 10am wednesday the 1st september . £16.50 for adults children under 15 free entry thats for entry to the museum(which is well worth a visit) with f1 viewing at no extra cost. Lotus are permitted to test from 8 am until 6pm with a limit of about 180 odd runs of the airstrip.

Duxford is easier to get to from Hingham than Bentwaters, especially in a large race truck.

I went to the Renault straight line test there last year and i have to say that my flight in the De Havilland Dragon Rapide was much more exciting. I recommend it.

Gee! Loved the Rapide pix. Was taken for my first flight in one of those, age 18mnts in 1939 from Shoreham to the Isle of Wight and back.
Don't remember it of course, but have a pic somewhere in the album. |

I thought it was being restored rather than is on display. Somewhere in Ohio.

I'm sure all of you would have heard of this; driving duties will be handled by 16-year old Malaysian, Nabil Jeffri. He's 2009 Asia Rotax Max Junior champion and currently driving for Eurasia Motorsport in FBMW. He's fifth in the standings now. Apparently, Heikki will be there as well to assist the young man.
