No mention of this fantastic event with just over 2 weeks to go, any ideas of entries etc. Yet? Nothing on Masterrs or MSVR sites yet.

There was a post on Masters Facebook saying the GT race has a full grid but no other news. This meeting has lost its magic a bit for me this year. I don't enjoy long demo sessions of random supposedly F1 cars, one make racing, even minis, is dull and the modern Sportscars don't do much for me. Add that the crazy Dutch guys are not there and it all seems a bit flat. It's all on the excellent streaming service so it's stay at home and avoid the horrors of Sunday night on the M25 for me

Silverstone the weekend before however has a fabulous entry building up. It will be a great weekend. If Silverstone ever send out the etickets I have paid for but not yet received....

Yes, seen it thanks, some pleasing entries, but disappointing 10 entries for the F1 races.

Sorry if I am being dense; I can't actually see entry lists on that link?

Could non only find the timetable: https://msvstatic.com/documents/Web%...%20Masters.pdf

Follow link in earlier post from young Willmazz, then scroll down to information downloads and open ninth download

The size of some of the entries is remarkable given that virtually all of the entries are British. Unfortunately the Historic Formula One championship relies heavily on foreign competitors and until the current travel problems are solved this championship will be badly affected.

You’ve got several more decades of being considered young on this forum

From watching back the video I took of it, I would say it was a stuck throttle. There was a bit smoke from the front tyres before he went onto the grass then it carried on in a perfectly straight line into the wall. Yea it put a downer on the day for a few people. Hope the driver isn't too bad, the car can always be fixed

I hugely enjoyed the coverage. All you need for great racing is a bunch of Lotus Cortinas and minis!

Is there a link to today's coverage, I can only seem to find yesterdays?

EDIT. Found it.

Yes, it certainly took the shine off a wonderful day up to that point, that car was absolutely stunning!
Does anyone know if it was Monterverde or Pearson driving at the time?

Monterverde. Pearson did a quick lap and handed it over.

stuart thompson · 30 May 2021, 09:37 (Ref:4053809)

Cheers, I’ve realised Pearson is racing in Gentleman Drivers.

geordiecriag101 · 30 May 2021, 12:43 (Ref:4053822)

For anyone who interested, here's my trackside vid from yesterdays quali and races from Brands.

**Aysedasi** · 30 May 2021, 13:14 (Ref:4053826)

I'm enjoying the coverage today. Looks like a nasty shunt in the last race before lunch with a car going over the barriers out on the GP loop? Driver OK though so we're told.

I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be that much interest on here.....

midgetman · 30 May 2021, 15:14 (Ref:4053847)

Well that was odd in the Mini race. Marshals wandering out into a live race track a lap early.

Yeah I saw that myself and wondered what that was all about. No red or anything just a couple of yellows being waved sending them onto the short cut back to the pits before Clearways on the short circuit.(is it even still called Clearways?)

midgetman · 30 May 2021, 17:23 (Ref:4053894)

It was explained a bit later. Cock up by marshals who thought the race had finished. Good job it was relatively slow Minis not the quick stuff.

I had a great day at Brands on Saturday. I spent the morning around the Indy loop and the afternoon out in the woods with the sun dappling through the trees onto some awesome machinery.

The Endurance Legends were always going to be the highlight for me and it was as fabulous as expected to see prototypes rocketing around Brands. The other grids offered a fairly familiar (but enjoyable) collection of British and US faves. The ubiquity of the fake Lotus Cortinas takes the shine off the touring car field a little, but between that race, the Equippe all-comers and the Gentleman Drivers there was plenty of 60s variety to admire.

stuart thompson · 30 May 2021, 18:36 (Ref:4053931)

Just seen a vid of the Chevron vaulting the barrier at Hawthorn, truly scary stuff driver got out fine though.
