Just beware - according to VSCC there will no infield parking this year.

Normally for this event parking is adjacent to the paddock. I checked with the circuit and they say some parking will be available over the first bridge but not beyond the second, with overspill parking if needed on the outside.

Hopefully we can get in and park up at Luffield and wander to the paddock from there. Cheers for the heads up.

Interesting entry list, Fox and Nichol.
Last year we were prevented entering Talbot because it was to quick!
Race was won by a quick Alvis Special that laps GP track at same asTalbot 3 49.
This year it’s obviously all comers!
They wonder why some grids are not full!
We will do MRL and Peter Auto with our Pre War Cars this year.
Pity
We will

Lovely cars and weather, good racing. Lovely to wander the garages and paddock.
If there had been a commentary team that had a clue it would have been a near perfect day.

Yep i'll thirds that one. Was a really good day from start to finish, way more people there spectating than i was expecting which lead to lots of random conversations between the races about how everything was better in the olden days!

Sum really odd ball machines out to play this weekend, with The Hornet Racing Special taking top prize. You really have to have a screw or two lose to drive that thing.

Great battle in the HGPACA race for second between Tom Dark ( Copper T51) and Andy Middlehurst (Lotus 25).

Less than a second between them at the finish and even closer at times:

The Alta surely won The Patrick Lindsay Trophy rather than The Seaman (which is run at Snetterton)?
That's not to take anything away from the achievement.

That’s the one!
It’s a model often Lindsey blue Bira ERA.
Suppose it’s the Seaman next for Alta!
David Baldock deserves the success with all the work that he has done to keep the Alta name in the Historic Racing world

20 extra years of development???

Sometime in the future the very impressive result will probably be 'corrected' from Alta to Alfa on whatever has replaced Google/Wikipedia etc.

I have realised over the years that much changes as to relative performance levels on vintage and historic cars, clearly some are more developed than others, while it may be that changing characteristics of tyres/circuits etc, might also effect the outcome.

How an Indy roadster can compete with Formula 1 cars from a similar era still baffles me.
