Look out for Phil Walker in a Yellow Bosch 69 Lola, he is one of the drivers I crew for.
I can't make Saturday for qualifying but my buddy will be there as Lead Mechanic. I've not been invited to the race on Sunday yet.

Fooled me to start with too. No the race is about 45mins long, commencing (from memory) about 14.55. BTW I know someone driving in the historic F1.

Would love to be there on Sunday but it's my daughters school leavers Prom and if I'm not there to see her in her dress I think I'd never be allowed home at all!
Plus having paid for the said dress, and nails, and hair, and shoes, and handbag, and jewellery, and tiara, I'll be buggered if I'm not going to see the final effect!!! ;)

I'm sure you could have hired a certain commer for alot less and then travelled in real style.
Maybe thats where the future of the commer lies, stretched and blinged it would easily beat the hummers that infest the roads for class.

Went Sunday and what a great event.
F5000 are the most stunning race cars, being slightly to young to remember watching them in period, it was great to see and hear so many race.
The Classic F1 cars brought back many memories, hard to beleive that most were over 20 years old, and these I do remember seeing 1st time round, seeing 2 the lotous twin chassis cars race being a highlight as was the lovely Matra.
Did anyone else get there?

Oh yes. What a great day it was too. Watching the drift cars at Druids was great fun. Seeing the JPS cars take each other off at Paddock probably not quite so great, especially as it resulted in the race being red flagged.
Highlight of the day though has to go to the Historic Saloons. Seeing a mini and a cortina take each other out at Paddock only for the following pack to come around the corner and over the brow of the hill was priceless. Cars everywhere, and all but the mini and the cortina making out of the kitty litter to carry on with the race. Brilliant!

Yup, just fantastic racing, F1's, F5000's and my own faves the CanAms. As discussed with Doris on the day, it was simply a great day out. Paddock Hill bend is such a great spot, sat in the sun we were red all over on getting home. Factor 20 next time! Oh and sorry I didn't see you Rupert, we ought to get better organised next time!
Only slightly sour note was my friend Mike Pullen smashing up his beautiful Brabham Repco in the last race. He walked away from the wreckage fortunately, but the car's rather bent :( (Funnily enough he took me round Goodwood very very fast in his Lotus Cortina a few weeks ago, and we slightly bent that too.)

Is that the Mike Pullen who lives in Kent, drive a Bentley and has a barn full of motors because he doesn't know how to sell them?

No, it's the Mike Pullen who lives in a very big house in Sussex, drives a Lambo and has a very sucessful business selling exotica. Consequently he can afford to smash up a Brabham Repco in a wheeel to wheel contact accident at Dingle Dell and still be at his best mate's funeral the following day claiming "not to be stiff".
