BENTLEY DRIVERS CLUB
The very special BDC annual meeting at Silverstone. You'll find amazing cars everywhere you look, not just on track....
Will include a round of FISCAR in 2017, and two Morgan Challenge races. |

Looks like some races at least have been in dry conditions! (according to TSL- http://www.tsl-timing.com/event/173191 )
Good to see young Mr Bryant out in the family Morgan, giving Keith A and father and son Paterson a good race, by the looks of it. Less than a second between first two at the end! Well done Brian A for winning his class in Equipe GTS, and finishing so high in the general classification. Interesting that fastest race lap was attributed to a car that finished way down, and was a few seconds slower on every other tour..... Timing error, short cut, or a banzai lap? |

Only one shower and a few spots all day. Lots of dirty weather either side of the circuit. Currently wall to wall sunshine and warm
Excellent entries and good racing as usual for the BDC . |

Shame that this meeting normally seems to coincide with the HSCC Croft Nostalgia Festival (where it's been sunny all day of course!).

TSL seemed to be having a number of problems during the day, and certainly the fastest lap quoted for our race is clearly wrong. But a good days racing even though the only rain happened to come at the start of our race. |

Excellent event, ran ahead of time all day.
Glad the Fiscar driver who lost a wheel and ended up on his roof in the Luffield gravel was able to get out and walk away seemingly just shaken. Good to chat to Mr T. A batch from the first of two entertaining Morgan races: |

Glad to hear Paul's ok, have spent some time with him in recent years getting his engine to do what it said on the tin It came in. A good guy, with more enthusiasm than is healthy for most people!
