Are you sure @marcusb?
 

I crossed the finished line and ran home before you’d even switched your phone on 😎

Only 3 westfields here when we arrived - and others to come?

All put to bed now

Richard Hammond was very polite and friendly, nice guy

 

 

A mini committee meeting 

 

 

We had an earlier start than the other’s it seems

Parked up on the Westfield club stand

 

 

 

The Caterham club stand had 20 cars on it

 

 

The Caterham club stand had a manned tent too

 

 

I like a Caterham but it doesn't have a club quite like ours and you need a few more pennies

 

 

The Lotus, Caterham and Morgan factory stands were all together and just across from the Westfield Chesil Ltd and GBS stands

 

 

The Caterham deals were available and were interesting to compare to our new Westfield model. This one

 

 

plus this one

 

 

and finally

 

 

 

 

 

You want to have a peek at the new Westfield model?

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

More information to be released soon, for now here is the latest update. It is a stunning drive apparently, can't wait for the official launch, so stay posted on this forum!

 

 

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

I like that @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative !

 

Loving the new seats too 😍

 

I'm excited to see how the 255bhp version compares to the MegaS2000 and Sport250 after the development work.

[Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman]

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us at the Silverstone Festival with WSCC – whether you managed a day or braved the whole weekend! Plenty of laughs, plenty of cars, and a few lessons learned along the way… namely: if you leave your phone at a club meeting, be prepared for “alternative perspectives” appearing on it later. Also, note to self (and everyone else): feet are not a recognised photographic subject with cars! Apparently!

 

A slight change to the format next year means that the event will be rescheduled and renamed possibly back to the Silverstone classic but either way hope to see more of you next year!  HB 

 

look out for the ITV4 film about Silverstone festival. September 21st 2025, I was advised.

Looks fab @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman, do you have any idea on the dates for next year? This is one I’ve wanted to get to for ages but it always seems to clash with our holidays!

@Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset

No dates currently Stuart. With the changes around the relocation of Car Fest to Silverstone next year it is believed that the Silverstone Classic return (or similarly named event) will most likely be two weeks after the formula one weekend. All speculation at this time!  The events team will keep us updated!

@Mike Williams - Show and Events Co-ordinator

 

HB. 

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman)]

Wasn’t the old Classic historically around those sort of dates? (Just after the F1 tear down and clean up).

I've always wanted but never managed to go but we all need to make the extra push next year get as many there as possible.
