Donington Historic Festival 2023

[GCCheddaris]

The sizes of the grids at Donington were far larger than the grids which graced Thruxton and Snetterton last year, although the low grids at Thruxton last year were partially blamed on it's proximity to the Le Mans Classic. The HRDC appear to be on to a winner with the Gerry Marshall Trophy which attracted well over thirty entries to Donington. Are the GT&SCC running their Group One series this year ?

The HSCC's Historic Formula Two series ran at the early April Masters meeting rather than this one, but it is noticeable that relatively few single seater races are held these days in comparison to the plethora of saloon and GT series.

Happily my local circuits, Thruxton and Castle Combe, are still relatively free of fencing and the sight and sound of the Jochen Rindt Trophy field approaching the Complex is well worth the entrance fee.
