Just had a look at Donington website for their next events and one that caught my eye was Masters Historic Racing Champ on the weekend of 13th Sat and 14th Sun October.  As it just so happens to be my birthday on the Saturday.

Was just about to ask if you spotted the sticker on the back of the Ferrarri Neil then I got to the last pic  :grin:

I met Simon Andrews propperly after race 1 in the paddock, smashing bloke.

 Didn't notice your car in the car park Neil?

The last Gt race was carnage, stopped twice. A lot of mangled machinery.

Hi Mike, I was only there Sunday, the 335i was parked opposite that nice red Macca in the paddock  :happy2:
Simon got another blinding start in race one, cant seem to hold on to it for the whole race though,  I said how the f**k are you going to get on the podium anyway  :signLOL:, I think he has finished 8th this season, did well.

Didnt stay for the last race, end of season carnage, it was an expensive day for a few people.

Ah, I did see it.  It was you 'less civilised' transport I didn't see  :evilgrin: How
Is the golf?

Only heard on the Tannoy about Simons start.  Couldn't see as I was stood at esses tunnel.  Seen it on his video on you tube now though  :notworthy:

I have a subscription to Autosport and in todays issue, there is 'the action' shot from the crash between Nilolaus Mayr-Melnhof in the E89 Z4 and the Ford GT of Laurent Groppi on page 6-7 page spread. There was also an incident between M. Winkelhock and  Y. Buurman in his Z4.  Sunday  looked to have been rather eventful.
