This happens a lot.
Look at shows int he winter, Race Retro was established and then this startup London thing came out and was put on the same weekend, utterly idiotic, each party are looking to close the other down, with no regard for their own income or fans, who in shows terms would possibly do both! These people are greedy dumb and self centred, so my way is to not support any of them where possible |

Pity I bought a ticket before the entry list came out. I won't commit to the Masters at the Donington meeting until I have seen their entry lists now.
Agree about Mallory. 9.30 start, away by 17.30, good weather and a decent size crowd. |

Yes indeed! Just keeping an eye on the weather forecast/social media pages, as rain has stopped play there before. Fingers crossed it will stay dry enough for all the teams to get in.
There is also grasstrack in Kent this weekend. Didn't get to a motocross event last year though, so that takes priority and I'll try and fit grasstrack in later in the summer. (Bloody typical that there are multiple events I like all on the same weekend! ![]() |

Updated entry btw now has now 15 Historic F1s, 11 Sportscars with not one Lola T70 which is pretty insane now. Endurance Legends has now gained a Dodge Viper and a Lola B98 however

Lola crashed out in qualifying and Viper hasn’t left the team awning all weekend. So now down to 8 cars, F1 down to 11 and 10 cars finished the second GT race.

Seems as tho every big historic event in this country is struggling wether its Donington, Brands, even Silverstone doesn't get the grids it used too. However there is no lack of Brits racing with Peter Auto, GTSCC in Italy etc, maybe the tracks just aren't appealing |

I would think the costs of bringing stuff here do not help at all, and where would you rather race if you are a vastly wealthy amateur, an airfield in Northants or Paul Ricard, Spa, Mugello?
Sorry no real shock |

If anyone interested, here's my trackside vid of the action from Saturday, it was realy noticeable that the grids were down, will definitely be waiting till entries released before going to Donington meeting:

May always seems to be the worst month for it. I know there are only so many weekends in a year (especially in the months when the weather might be less awful!) and I know that you can't expect every Championship to factor every other series when picking dates, but it is frustrating to have three or four weekends with nothing on, then three or four events all coming together. Especially when those clashes are regional/national series events in the same part of the country.

Recently spoke to someone who prefers Peter Auto series because it's a shorter calendar, better overall package and customer(s) can compete against a lot of cars from the same era, instead of racing against a handful of 2018 GT3 and LMP3 cars or even the occasional Porsche Cup or Renault RS01. |
