scott beeland Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Cracking day out at the Donnington Renault do today. Wall to wall sunshine (boy I'm burned) and it was packed with spectators Crackin' run over the cat&fiddle in Alan Dixons car then a ride all the way to Donnington in Mike DixonS VXR. The single seater races were processional but the Clio and Megane races were top notch bumper to bumper entertainment Renault F1 sounded great too. Cracking return blat over the C&F with Alan Dixon...And I'm home...Burned knackered Only saw one caterham today though...WHERE WERE YOU ALL?? Top day in top company Quote
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Didn't you see the Robin Hood 'lurking' next to the Dunlop Bridge? BTW, I agree about the racing the Clio and Megane look-a-like cars were excellent. The Clios are 'real' but the Meganes are racing cars in their entirety with cardboard cut-out bodies. V. Good nonetheless. I reckon there were about ten times more people than last year. Getting out of the field was a nightmare, or would have been until I found a gap in the hedge on to the road. Quote
stu999 Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 V. Good nonetheless. I reckon there were about ten times more people than last year. Getting out of the field was a nightmare, or would have been until I found a gap in the hedge on to the road. There were definately *far* more folk there than there was last year. I think the good weather helped though And having sat in the queue to get out of the car park last year (with less people there), we left after the Meganes finished - for a clear run home Quote
ChrisF Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 I have to agree, it was a top day the family had a ball on the funfair and it only cost me a cup of tea and a bag of chips The highlight for me was a walk around the Red Bull garage, they even fired up one of the cars for us....music to my ears my 5 year old some nearly lept 6 feet when he heard it......he has a lot to learn Did anyone see the club parade at lunchtime a plonker in a max power megane spun in front of 10,000 spectators at 30mph....priceless Quote
