Sorry I too am out!!!


After a lot of thought !!!!,

Having just watched latest weather forecast

I have decided I can not justify a 144 mile round trip.


All display and track demonstration cars will have exclusive entry via the Brooklands Road entrance

For those that are still going there is 6 places to have a drive up the hill.
CJ is booked in to have a drive on the Mercedes Track,

The event organisers name is Phil Ward.

I hope those of you that attend have a good time !!

Yep, had a short-notice weekend away with the wife in Ascot, so already up here with the scoob (about 20 mins from Brooklands).

Good to meet some of you today. Bit of a shame it was as wet as it was, but still a good little event I thought.

Some interesting cars there and we got a good look at the underside of Concorde if nothing else.

Weather was pretty shocking wasn't it. Thanks to those that did make it - we ended up with 6 scoobs in the end. They started running the hill about 2:30pm but Simon/Jo and Claire/I were the last to leave as they were just setting it up. Tbh, the hill looked pretty bumpy and narrow to be hooning up there, considering a river running down it lol

No not really. Its not really usable - steep and covered in wet mould, and pretty bumpy too. Its showing the signs of its age!

The guy who showed us in had kittens at the sight of you turning on the banking. He would have exploded if we had driven on it properly!!

lol

As we were leaving, there was nobody around so Simon parked up high on the banking for some photos. They must have some CCTV up there somewhere as it was only a couple of minutes before two guys came along in a golf buggy and made us leave the banking area completely (despite the fact that they parked us up there in the first place).

One of them mentioned that they've had car clubs park on the banking before and one car has slid down the bank on the green wet slimey stuff straight into another car.... guess they're a bit Health & Safety worried.

Well done to those who went for it, still looked like a good day. As expected, I spent the day bolted to the bog. Not good.
