Whatever happened to the supposed 'Race of Champions'.I heard back in 2016 they were hoping to get F1 cars involved.

Entry List on HSCC Website.
13 Cars for Jagaur Classics.Series is starting to go down hill.Yet there was 32 at Donington.Frustrating. Only 6 Dunlop Saloon Cup cars.That won't last the season. Nice grid in Thundersports and XL. Good Formula Junior and Formula Ford. |

The Dunlop Cup race has been opened to Historic Touring Cars (HRSR or App K spec) if there is enough interest at this late stage. Although slower than the Dunlop Cup cars they will at least increase the grid.

Jaguar drivers are notoriously slow with their entries, they'll come.

Great to see 31 cars in the HGPCA Pre 66 grid. Very Impressive.

Certainly a good looking grid Will and no fewer than four South African Formula One cars with Greg Thornton in LDS 03 and Arnout Kok in the Rauten Peugeot joining the Assegai and the Heron .

HGPCA, along with Formula Junior, is usually guaranteed to have good grids. I think the latter is almost at capacity as well. (38 track max)
Your link is to the timetable, Will. Entry list here..... https://hscc.org.uk/wp-content/uploa...per-Prix-1.pdf |

2 x 1 litre bottles of frozen orange squash with an electrolite tablet in each will be in my backpack if the forecast for Saturday is correct. No need for parents to drive as I'm a big boy now As for the rest - I'd agree with what you've written. |

The Thundersports and XL series have got better this year.The first time the Thundersports formely Pre 80 has got over 20 at this meeting since 2015 Only poor one being the Dunlop Saloon Cup which has been an unfortunate failiure. |

Just a little Round up:
Formula Ford-Great race in this one, especially between the classic team Merlyn's. HGPCA-Good early dicing at the front. Heard something of a plastic bag interfering with the Bugatti. Hope the Ferrari sorts its gear issues. Pre 66 good but as Craig says hopefully it gets sorted although I cant imagine they'll risk it. Thundersports-Odd race as the comms says. Again as Craig says a shame the M8F had quite the issue. Team confirmed its not out tomorrow as not risking out. Formula Junior-Fantastic race as usual with Sam Wilson, Tim De Silva and Andrew Hibberd. Looked good for Colin in his Gemini aswell. Jaguar Classic-Well it had G Pearson in it so I think we all know what happened. Good grid though. XL Aurora-Good grid with good pace by De Silva again in his F2 car. M Lyons as usual brilliant to watch. Dunlop Saloon Cup-Only 8 cars but the battle for third was IMOP true touring car action and in some cases too much. |

Thanks for the update on the McLaren Craig - there's something about the brutal noise that it & the F5000s make that is missing from modern race car engines. Nice relaxed day, bring on tomorrow with more good racing and some slightly cooler weather. |

I attend lot's of historic meetings and I think Nick Padmore has beaten him in Historic F1 when they've both been in Williams FW07. The grey area was Padmore was running his in C spec and Michael in B spec. I have huge respect for both drivers so don't really know who is quicker. What I will say is they are both very humble and approachable chaps and a pleasure to chat to.

just wondering if the Assegai in HGPCA is the one restored by Delta? Lovely looking car being driven by Richard Tarling yesterday.

I noticed Michael Lyons was sharing a Lambo in the N24 last weekend. Lucky boy. They were p11 at one point but suffered gremlins of some sort and dropped down the order. |

Brilliant couple of races to start the day. Small entry but close racing for 1st & 2nd and 4th & 5th in Pre 61s.
HFF just finished - side by side through Hawthorne's for the lead multiple times and good close racing throughout the field. |
