See you there ... ! We are driving out tonight, to be there by daybreak tomorrow.

Will accept their 'invitation' to park the motorhome behind the grandstand opposite F1 pits, slightly removed from the action, but as I think it could be good for the event if we all did it, then I'm happy to give it a go ... I assume that the tunnel under the pit-entry is big enough for us, no-one has told me we have to access from La Source...

The MGB for the 6hr won't get there until later tomorrow pm, so I'm planning to cycle the old circuit tomorrow - I promised myself I'd do it last year, but ran out of time/wimped out!

Got the Gemini for FJ too.

Really looking forward to it!

I think the Rover is on its way. Looking forward to the event it's been two years since the last visit. Hopefully it won't rain I just can't get on with these tyres in the wet.

It may be one of the last bastions of club historic racing since the others are all attracting professionals now. We need this to keep going.

I've checked weather. Better have some waterproofs with you! I'll be on the scoot....

From over 30 C yesterday will be down to 15 C on Sunday, plus could be wet for 6hr qually and race........ I remembered my Spa fleece and wellies, fortunately!

The incoming KLM flight to Teesside had to make four attempts at landing in the fog - apparently the sun above was reflecting too much off the fog! The fourth attempt would have been their last try but luckily it worked and I'm now in my apartment in Spa. Was hot & sunny (32C) driving down from Schiphol, slightly cooler and a lot cloudier at Spa - no doubt the weather is preparing to offload itself!

Best wishes to all 'Tenthers taking part and spectating - hope to get to chat to some of you over the weekend.

Cheers Tim. Think most are here now, some with tales of Chunnel delays, breakdowns, and spending far too much of their lives in the Liege road works! Will the latter be finished in my lifetime? (I spent another hour in them....)

Latest weather forecast is cool and dry until Saturday eve, then could be damp / wet later in the 6hrs. Followed by Sunday morning fog. Nothing new then. Somehow yesterday we missed a rain front moving across during the evening. Miracles can happen......

BSB at Donington this weekend ....

so after a hot and muggy day yesterday it's been wet overnight and this morning.

Looks like it might be about to improve for the afternoon - as forecast.

The weekend may well be a little cooler than of late and mainly dry with clouds.

You never know - it might just be OK for them. Hopefully similarly OK for Spa, although I suspect that survival of the potentially torrential conditions at Spa is part of the place's legendary status.

Yeah I would also be interested in knowing if and where results for the Qual and racer get posted. I snuck a few glimpses off the teletext in one of the endurance pits but retreated before too long because I did not want to be a bother...

Sad to See no mcinerney griffith in the big event this year...pretty much the only entry able to threaten the cobras and e-Types unless the Elans grow wings. Maybe the 46 will pick up the slack.

Great job, Will, but I think we will have copyright issues (note all rights reserved at the base of them) if we leave the table images up here, so I think we should stick to the links posted, sorry! - JT
