patently Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I have four spare tickets to the National Car Races weekend in a week's time... the weekend will feature Classic Touring Car Racing, Kumho BMW, VSCC Pre War Sports Cars, Citroen 2CV's and Formula Junior... and some Caterhams. There is an outside possibility (I'm told) that some of the Caterhams will make it past the end of the first lap Anyone interested, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Have a great weekend and enjoy the racing. Where else are you racing this year then? Will see if I can get to one of the races but I can't do this weekend unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Good luck Mr P, keep us all informed of your progress* & future events, as I for one would come if I am around & about. Especially if you get past the first lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Mr P, thanks for the tickets, I'll be there tomorrow with my eldest. I'll try and find you, but if I don't, I wish you the very best. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks all Had a great day's practice today, but still way too slow. Calendar for the year is at www. graduates.org - hit the "calendar" tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well, that was fun! Started 14th, finished 12th Held it all together despite it being incredibly wet at the start - we had a torrential downpour just when we were meant to assemble, so you can imagine how keen we were to go outside and get into an open Caterham. The rain did stop during the wait at assembly but you can imagine how wet we were by then, and the track was under standing water. We went off to do a green flag lap to discover there was almost no grip off the start line, Redgate & Old Hairpin were very slippy, with loads of spinners at both & up the hill. It gradually dried during the race so was almost full throttle by the end, but all the cars were twitchy everywhere all through the race. Great fun... And no damage Tomorrow: 1400 start, live on Motors TV! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 True respect to the whole field in patently's race for (almost) all coming back in one piece. Some impressive grids of Caterhams and lots of interesting historic stuff here this weekend. Worth a watch on Motors if you can't get here to see it in the flesh. Just one warning if you are thinking of coming... it is fecking FREEZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Channel set to record .... Just in case we need to relive any parts of the coverage. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 All done, driver & car both fine. Started 14th, finished 14th after non-stop battling. Was significantly higher during the first half. Fastest lap during the race was a personal best for this track. Great fun. Exhausted! Sorry for those that tuned in, apparently I never appeared on screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
