HISTORIC F1 RETURNS TO BRANDS HATCH

The spectacular amphitheatre of the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit will once again see genuine F1 cars in fierce competition at the Autoglym HSCC Historic Festival on 28 and 29 June 2008. The Festival’s headline event is the FIA Historic Formula One Championship, reviving the glory days of F1 from 1966 to 1985. The competing cars are just as they were when driven by heroes like Gilles Villeneuve, Nigel Mansell and Emerson Fittipaldi.

But it’s not just F1 that makes the Autoglym Historic Festival an unmissable event – there is a full and varied programme of historic racing on BOTH days – and a host of attractions for all the family. Wander round the open paddock and you’ll have the chance to get up close to the cars and drivers in one of the UK’s biggest historic meetings, with classic saloon cars, sports cars and single-seaters.

Nice one, Al!! Just a small point, your second post 24 should be post 25 (the relocated former post 1), current post 1 being my domain - I bet you did that just to get a reaction.

[Bodysnatcher]

umm, sorry Brian, just me, I was thinking it was Post 1...but not Post one now..if you follow me...
off to fix it now

[White flag man]

Mick,
I've suggested to Mildred that it would be nice if you could do post 14 on Saturday and post 4 on Sunday. The post allocation is not up to me, but hopefully Mildred can work her magic.

[275 GTB-4]

Thanks..I'm sure I will appreciate any post Mildred decides to put me on....

[tubbylardo]

I can't wait. Last year I got to push the JPS car. This year I want to push the 6 wheeled renault...

I have got my ear defenders ready. Top meeting.

[tubbylardo]

If I could choose a post for both days it would be 23.

Who do I have to bribe?

Seriously... can I be on 23?

Just sent a begging email to Mildred. Hope it works.

I got a better one than that. Do the bus run past Brands as i got a bus pass and it would not cost me a penny.

Hi All

Just had confirmation from Mildred that this weekend will be my first taster of marshalling and just wanted to give a heads up that you will be getting a total novice annoying you and asking hundreds of inane questions!

You have been warned!!!!

Seriously though, looking forward to meeting some of you!

Cheers

Superbikes @ Mallory for me - walking distance as opposed to a 200 mile round trip!

[Bodysnatcher]

You've chosen a good one to start with treacle, I'm sure you'll enjoy it wherever Mildred puts you.

Provisional entry list for this weekend here. Some nice looking cars and grid sizes don't look too bad.

And here's the provisional timetable.

Shame I can only come for Sunday.
