If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Oh, my pockets are nothing like deep enough for historic racing! The good thing is that it’s access all areas for the pits and paddock. I could have climbed into £10m. of Ferrari 250SWB and there was no one there to stop me...chrism wrote:Were you spectating or taking part with a vehicle in the event

Nice. I have been lucky enough to drive three laps of Donnington circuit. I was in my 2.1 Burton race engined Capri. MASSIVE FUN. They said "It's not a race, it's a cavalcade. No overtaking and stay behind the pace car" What they should have said was "Try keeping up with the pace car" a juiced up V12 Jag. He didn't hang around and neither did we. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Matt.

I once did a track day with Alfa Romeo when Derek Warwick and Simone both raced the 155 in the BTCC. Got a bit scared when the 164 3.2 had brake fade coming up the slope to the sharp right hander, McLeans to Coppice I think. Anyway, really good photos, just dread to think how much a repair to one of those vehicles would cost.
It's only pain, work through it.
