Is that a priority- compared with beer supply, for instance? Weather's going break sometime- looks like possible thunderstorms next couple of days then cooler as a low pressure area takes over. Normal summer then- prepare for anything! |

Does anyone else find it slightly misleading that the tickets for the Classic are advertised at X price, but then you have to pay nearly £5 on top of that in admin and transaction fee nonsense? It makes the Friday £35 ticket actually £40. I think the event is overpriced as it is (when other historic meetings are more like £15-20), but things like this really wind me up.

Yes, it's overpriced but it is well hyped up. Entry fees are high as well which is odd when you known the grids are going to be full. Add to that trade pitches at silly prices and the "promoter" will be making millions in profit I would think. Indeed it could well be the most pofitable race meeting in the UK.
When it was run by the BRDC as the Coys Festival I went every year but not now. It is sad that the BRDC are no longer organising it as hopefully the profits could have been used to keep entry fees down for other events as well as improving facilities. It seems all they are interested is the GP and sod the rest of us. |

Is that truly a Rover P6? That must be the/a replica of the Roy Pierpoint car. Was that ever in the "Saloon Car Championship"? I'm disappointed I'm not going to be there to see that.

No John Cleland?
Every year people moan about ticket price, clearly don't watch 90 minutes of Premier League football (or championship in my case)! 12 x hours of racing on Saturday, fully subscribed grids with the most sublime collection Historic race cars in one place over one weekend. Sorry but Donington Historic or any other UK event does not have same quality or depth. See u there |

Yes it is the ex Roy Pierpoint Rover. Ian has owned it for about 5 years after I found it in a private collection where it had sat unused since it stopped racing.

Hmm, will be good for folks to see it, but doesn't it pre-date the series in which it is entered?

It may even be on telly, as now announced that Whisper Films are to make a 60 minute programme for ITV4 of the whole event. To be aired, like Goodywood, sporadically from Aug 15th to next Christmas. Suggested it will be on ITVPlayer as well, which is good.
Going to be difficult squeezing all those races and parades into 60 minutes! Don't hold out much hope of a glimpse of me racing... |

Sorry, that comment is lost on me. You'll have to explain why the controversy....

Apologies but too late to edit last post. A possible reason has been pm'd to me. No more needs to be said, from my perspective.

Is there an entry list for the Group C boys? Not seen anything yet. However, very excited : XJR14 coming out to play. Last saw them in 1991 with Dingers, Brundle & Fabi thrashing the Mercs et al.
