Somehow I've never been to Thruxton and would like to drag my aged father to this event. He has Parkinson's and can't walk much. Can anyone advise whether you can get your car in and view the track anywhere without trekking too far? Thanks. Phil

There is limited parking on the grass banking between Allard and the complex. I believe that is for blue badge holders but it would be worth giving the circuit a ring.

I think I'll drag the Crustina out for this, never raced at Thruxton before, a good opportunity to murder an engine.

Crikey, time's flying by!

Less than a month to go to this meeting, then a week later it's Masters at Donington.

Think Saturday Thruxton for me, the HTCC is on earlier in the afternoon than on the Sunday according to the early version timetable.

So far i've heard Ken Clarke is entering his Rover, and possibly the Williams' ex Leech car too?

The glorious Guest GTV6 is going too, I guess it will also do the Alfa celebration event.

And I've just been advised that Alfa Romeo Owners Club have registered with the organisers for a substantial discount on tickets, so if there are any other AROC members out there, check out the Club Forum

If this was between 1999-2004 I would have qualified!! Mind you, £12 quid is a good deal anyway.

Surprised entry lists haven't started popping up yet, only a week and half to go.

Can't wait!!

Recently, Iain and I have been reminiscing about a race we did in F4 in 1978 at Thruxton. Happy days and a great circuit to drive in a single seater. The 1978 race in question resulted in the late Pete Smith (of PDS transmissions) inverting his Palliser at the complex on the first lap. The car was left there on the track for the whole race - no red flag, no safety car, just "use your common sense, guys".

The race winner (Ian Briggs) set a new lap record despite the obstruction. He'd probably have got points on his licence for that these days.

Aah - we were tough back then...

Anyway - Thruxton is one of the most challenging circuits in the UK. Enjoy!

Not seen any yet...

BARC event page on the website has a link to 'entry list' but it just opens a new window of the same page!

MRL haven't published anything yet which is surprising. I haven't checked the Group 1 of Group A sections on Facepalm yet though. Ken Clarke is normally pretty good at sharing info when he gets it.

It might be partly because BARC were waiting on any possible late entries after Brands Masters and and the Silverstone HSCC meeting the previous week.

Find it very surprising, unless of course, the races are short on entries?

Hope not, really been looking forward to attending with my 2 lads.

BARC are the quickest at publishing entry lists. To illustrate the point, they also haven't published them for this weekend's meetings at Donington and Silverstone.

That's a very disappointing entry for the MRL grids. Especially as they each have two 40 min races. I had hoped for better support for the event this year. Sad to see

Lots of track time.Odd to see really.13 cars for HTCC is pretty poor realy.Maybe its the event or the circuit is not appealing.H
