Oh, my pockets are nothing like deep enough for historic racing! The good thing is that it’s access all areas for the pits and paddock. I could have climbed into £10m. of Ferrari 250SWB and there was no one there to stop me...

Best,
M.

Nice. I have been lucky enough to drive three laps of Donnington circuit. I was in my 2.1 Burton race engined Capri. MASSIVE FUN. They said "It's not a race, it's a cavalcade. No overtaking and stay behind the pace car" What they should have said was "Try keeping up with the pace car" a juiced up V12 Jag. He didn't hang around and neither did we. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Matt.

All the best

I once did a track day with Alfa Romeo when Derek Warwick and Simone both raced the 155 in the BTCC. Got a bit scared when the 164 3.2 had brake fade coming up the slope to the sharp right hander, McLeans to Coppice I think. Anyway, really good photos, just dread to think how much a repair to one of those vehicles would cost.

Great pics, brings back happy memories when Abbie and I joined you there a few years back. Hope the weather was better than then, btw Ab still wears that coat!

... appears you had almost as much fun writing the captions.
