The dynamics of watching those pilot events are a little different to the wide open spaces of Thruxton or even Brands - and typically attract spectators in a more contracted area.

VSCC Thruxton

Managed to have a look back through the Motorsport Archives and discovered that the VSCC held meetings at Thruxton from it's opening season in 1968 through to 1972 and once again for a final time in 1974.

I remember going to one of the Brooklands Trophy meetings in 1983. It featured an eclectic mix of races including a VSCC Handicap, a round of the Atlantic Computers Historic GT series and a round of the Marlboro British Formula Three championship. The Atlantic Computers race had a huge grid headed by John Foulston (McLaren M8F) and Mike Wheatley (BRM P154) while the Formula Three round saw the latest instalment of the season long Senna/Brundle battle.

The weather is looking decidedly dodgy for the weekend, if Sunday's forecast is accurate there'll be plenty of action on track particularly at Church!

I think it's 2 of the SLRs that are running. Thruxton has a strange way of listing 2 driver cars as seperate entries but with the same car number.

Given this is my second motorsport event of the year, the last one being in February, I will enjoy everyone of the entries.

Nos. 61, 29 & 64 I believe.The 3 original cars, I've only seen all 3 together on one previous occasion at Goodwood.
An umbrella might be handy!

My mistake.
I have seen the 3 once at one Silverstone Classic, lined up in the paddock.

Well, this is going to be interesting. Picked up the car yesterday and driving home the dashboard fualt system lit up. Continued but the gps failed, then a warning to check the 4wd system and the ABS, EPS etc. all lit up. This morning the lights are still there but it seems the gps is working again. Fingers crossed it's just a glitch in the sensors.

Peter, check your battery and charging circuit, as low voltage throws up a multitude of warning lights if you're not getting the right amount of volts.

Yes I suspect (hope) it may be the trailer electrics. We discovered a glitch in the indicators yesterday. I'll unhitch it and go for fuel later.

Anyone know if they'll be selling programmes tomorrow? Or is that some sort of biohazard?
