First day back at college today after a week of the flu.Walking around Tonbridge saw a nice 60s silver Ford Mustang.Lots of assignment stuff at the moment which is a little tiring.Endless typing.First race meet of the year at brands with BMCRC.Always a good meeting with good grids and a nice lunch as well.Hoping to go to back this weekend for Brscc and then the following weekend at either Donington for hscc or Silverstone for britcar.Maybe Peter auto after that.

Hope All are having a good month as for many the motor racing season draws closer (if it ever ended).

BTW I'm hoping to be writing some race meeting and races reports this year for historic meetings.



Will.

Hope college goes well. Those 60s Mustangs must be a sight you don’t see every day. Glad the historic scene has been going well, going to great circuits like Brands and Silverstone. Let us know where to find those historic reports

Good to see you back Willmaz Brands this weekend should be good with the Alfa Romeo series and the BMW Compact Cup both there....not sure about the long VW Fun Cup races but each to their own,


Was at Croft yesterday with my mate testing his Compact Cup car before this weekend - and four BTCC cars there too - Hondas for Neal Camissh and Simpson, and Moffat's Mercedes. Fascinating to be able to get a close look at the teams and their kit

Take a 2019 Tea Break with Delta

It’s always interesting. The programme at Brands sounds interesting, with BMW, Alfa and VW fun cup racing going on

Certainly seeing them with the BTCC must have been interesting. Not sure if they always use Croft pre season? Certainly seeing a few teams there helps and a good lineup of two works Hondas, an indy Honda and the Moffat Merc

Yes we both couldn't believe we'd seen one.

The FunCup does sound a little boring for 4 hours but is very popular.

I'll be hopefully going on Sunday. Lots of single make but for me the main event will the Track Attack Race Club.Varied grids with heavily modified Imprezas ,RX8''s. My cup of tea modern wise.

Many Happy Returns Iain - now you are the same age as me (well, for a couple of months...).

It's the first day of spring too.

Just another day at work. 4 years to go then I am retiring for good. BTW I always thought March 21st was first day of spring. Don't tell me the date change is down to Brexit.

According to my calendar, spring starts today, but of course it could be wrong. BTW Iain, the calendar was produced by the local sapeur pompiers (firemen), so lots of jolly pictures you you might like!

Race reports from meetings are always welcome. On the particular race thread is obvious place.....

They’re a great way to practice punctuation and grammar!
