LG Super Racing Weekend - Donington Oct 5/6

FIA GT, ETCC, Lamborghini Trophy, Clio V6, Formula Renault Eurocup.

Anyone going ?
I will be there on Sunday, maybe Saturday night camping.

Woody.

Les · 9 Sep 2002, 17:30 (Ref:376640)

No Lambos but plenty of Cliooooos

redshoes · 9 Sep 2002, 18:11 (Ref:376705)

What do you mean 'no Lambos' ? It's round 5 of the Lamborghini GTR Supertrophy.

Woody, depends on the schedule but probably Sat and Sun for me.

jase · 9 Sep 2002, 18:19 (Ref:376714)

I'll be there, the 3rd of the year for me

Silverstone, Spa 24hrs

and now Donington.

Carrie · 9 Sep 2002, 18:54 (Ref:376738)

Count me in for this one

rick vaux · 9 Sep 2002, 20:48 (Ref:376875)

and rain....

RickP:Clio51 · 10 Sep 2002, 12:46 (Ref:377372)

Typical, woodyracing comes all the way to Donny and doesn't bother to watch the clio V6 race...
(It's on Saturday afternoon I expect).

I hope to be there... looking a bit tough at the moment.

can't make it to this one, it clashes with the formula ford carnival thingy at castle combe. also on the same day is arsecars, as if all this wasn't enough...

paulzinho · 10 Sep 2002, 14:15 (Ref:377432)

Should be there, don't know what days yet, I still need to figure a few things out!

woodyracing · 10 Sep 2002, 17:49 (Ref:377532)

Hi RickP,
V6 clios are great and I hope they are on Sunday but I'll be at Oulton for the 750mc on Saturday.

rdjones · 10 Sep 2002, 21:20 (Ref:377647)

Would love to be at this one aswell (just booked the BTCC though), but I am in the Lakes with the uni mountering club.......

**Woolley** · 17 Sep 2002, 23:31 (Ref:382940)

I'll be there all three days, staying in B&B 'cause I've got some holiday money left.

Hope Les is right about no Lambos. It was once a great series, but at Sillystone it was a drag. About 8 hours of track time for 12 cars (5 by the end) and you couldn't tell the difference between racing and qualifying, except a couple of them were trying in qualifying!

Chris Gray · 19 Sep 2002, 13:16 (Ref:384138)

I was gonna go but I heard that the Clios and FRenaults were on the Saturday and not the main race day. I'm of to Snetterton instead...

Les · 19 Sep 2002, 19:21 (Ref:384324)

my timetable says
Saturday
14:30 Eurocup FRenault
16:30 Clio Trophy
Sunday
10:05 Tuscans
11:15 FIA GT
14:45 FIA ETCC
15:45 FIA ETCC race 2

doesn't seem a lot and no Lambos

Chris Gray · 20 Sep 2002, 09:59 (Ref:384675)

Personally, I don't think enduros make the best spectator spectacle. I know the cars in the races are pretty special, but the hardly-audiable commentary (especially with those types of cars) means it's almost impossible to understand what's going on. The races seem to be more of an 'occasion', irrespective of the competitiveness of the championship.

woodyracing · 20 Sep 2002, 10:50 (Ref:384719)

i know what you mean, at least theres plenty of photo opportunities though.

micaz43 · 20 Sep 2002, 20:53 (Ref:385063)

plomax · 22 Sep 2002, 17:20 (Ref:385996)

Hi
Point of interest for those coming to Donington, one Phil Bennett will be driving my Clio V6!
Also looks like we might get our young star Daniel Hart out for his second race in the Formula Zips (Sunday?) too.
See y'all there!
cheers
Paul

RickP:Clio51 · 23 Sep 2002, 17:21 (Ref:386696)

I too will be there in the Clio V6.
But since Mr Lomax (above) has apparently banned me from the Mark Fish team (not just for the race weekend, but also for pre race testing as well!??!) I will be running with Jerome Policand's team (red and silver cars but mine will be the odd one out in Blue and White).
Although it's a different awning, you will all still be welcome (as ever). Come and say hello!
RickP

Les · 23 Sep 2002, 18:50 (Ref:386763)

Thank goodness Clios are out on the Saturday. I can sit there and watch them to my hearts content but I shall be bored out of my mind with GT's.
So I have decided that I shall leave hubby at Donington and bum down to Silverstone on Sunday for a little enduro.

WoodyTJ · 28 Sep 2002, 09:32 (Ref:390425)

Tickets arrived today for both Saturday and Sunday ...... can't wait

**Woolley** · 28 Sep 2002, 10:54 (Ref:390473)

I've just read the calendar at Donington's website, and I wonder if the organiser's have been reading this forum. Ok, there's no hint of a lunch break, but the finishing times would be acceptable at Mallory Park - hooray. Some serious drinking time is available, excepting the flaggies who are going to be swotting up on their howmework - "Safety Vehicle regulations and flag signals". See you all in the pub!

brickkicker · 28 Sep 2002, 19:28 (Ref:390649)

Looking forward to it now
