Masters Donington, 27th-28th May
OK, it's a bit early to start this thread, but who else is going?
I'll be there in the 'red Italian blob' as usual, in the Gentleman Dribblers race, and trying to decide whether to do the '50s race (although being the last to leave on a Bank holiday Monday, is not usually a good thing..). Having rolled a car at Paddock 7 years ago, and not having raced there much since, I'm always a bit slower (yes, even than usual!) there, so booked myself in or testing on the 26th to get a few more laps under my belt. Regards, James |

Looking forward to this event as a spectator - nice to hear the Saturday test is definately ON, as the link on Masters` website has always been a dead one. That confirms my 3-day attendance.
Just a little pointer though SZRacer - please don`t go to Donington as your thread title would suggest as you will be wasting your entry fee!!! If anyone has any news on entry numbers accross the events I`m sure there would be lots of interested "anoraks" out there - I expect as competitors you receive insider info (eventually?) which doesn`t get put on the Masters` site. |

Oops! I mean Brands of Course!
A 'Senior moment'...!! Will re-post the thread... Mr. Moderator, please can you delete this thread, and/or move any posts to the 'correct' one? Thanks, James (Now merged as requested - JT) Last edited by John Turner; 17 May 2007 at 16:26. |

I'm hoping to be there, but having just moved house, and with my engine in bits I have a feeling I probably won't make it!!! Will come and find you if I do.

James, or indeed anyone else going, it would be good to get a bit of a report or pictorial review, if you have time, after the event. |

Roger posted U2 on another thread....
http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...t=84255&page=6 Just noticed the Grp C list there as well.... 3 more cars than the 23 listed on the official Group C site. Throw-a-six-to-start with respect to the Masters` entries then!! Just adds to the anticipation I guess. I am intrigued to see what might be heading past my camera come 9 tomorrow morning! |

Very true. However I wonder whether the casual punter that MSV are trying to entice (by advertising alongside A1 and DTM for instance) might even go so far as to look for entries online? I think it`s probably the hardcore "anorak" brigade and the competitors themselves that look for that type of stuff.
Hopefully no news is good news... Being a Brands regular I tend to usually feel a little short-changed when I come away from the "bigger" Historic meets (ie. I`m trying to exclude the more "Club" based HSCC categories which are always wonderfully supported at Brands). It always seems that the Silverstone and Donington meets tend to bring out those few extra "secial" entrants which Brands always seems to struggle for. Funny really cos Brands is better than both the other two put together!!!!! |

1) It's on the Indy circuit - too short, and 2) There is very little, if any, track that you can see without looking through massive fences - there are still places at Silverstone and Donington where you can have an unobscured view, and 3) You have a whole lot further to go to get there! |

I am concerned with the Masters thing though because it seems from the outside that they aren't issuing the info that we all need. I do know that they work bloody hard to organise events though so I wouldn't knock them for effort. |

I will be there as i have had an invitation to visit one of the guys who run Carlos Barbot's Lola T70.
As i am a Lola T70 nut and have been since my teens how can i miss an opportunity to get more first hand info on any of these cars while they are in the UK. Hope to run into you John not litterally Pete |
