I will be there in a 95 Swift (8 years since I last drove the car). Just been sorting out a new race suit for some reason I dont fit in the old one any more, I am not too sure why!!! It should be a fantastic meeting, FFords on the GP track is always great fun.

Got the forms James - assuming PA will let me play in the woods, we'll be out their in the pre-historic class (car and driver) - hopefully we'll lure a few more of the pre-71 historic and some of those niether old or new classic FF's out there for battles thru the field.

I've got a Ray GR00 available for hire if anybody is interested in doing this race but doesn't have a car.(Photographs of the car are on the Club Formula Ford website in the classified section)

[Jon Davis]

www.teamzugattioracing.com will be there with the RF92 and a well oiled crew of students from the Northbrook College Foundation Degree in Motorsports Engineering.

I have been asked to point out by a number of you ten-tenthers that this race is on the GP loop, and it takes place ahead of the F3-GT weekend and the HSCC Superprix..... So - it makes an ideal race test for people looking for track time on a circuit that everyone loves to drive on, but seldom has the opportunity !!

How are we doing for numbers on this? Disapointed to see that only 13 cars made it onto the grid for the Golden Helmet last weekend. Are many of the Dunlop MSA Durtaec drivers entered as they have their own round there in a couple of weeks it gives them an opportunity to gain track knowledge of the GP loop?

Well done for a great event today; an all time classic circuit, summer sun, a mix of historic, classic and modern cars - 1971 thru' to 2011!

More exposure for FF to a crowd that wouldnt necessarily have seen this format before.

Great stand alone race, but also should become a strong date slot/s on the GP layout that don't have testing.

No doubt this will grow as more realise what a good 'open' race it is.

Well done to JSkinny for the win and great to watch the closest possible battle for 3rd from the comfort of a 1971 armchair around Westfield - thats when pulling over to be lapped is no problem!

I'll second that - thank you James! Weather was a bonus, so thanks for arranging that too. Really enjoyed the circuit - my first time on the GP. Looking forward to the next round.

Really pleased that it went well and really sorry that we couldn't be part of it in the end. Well done JB
