Due to Donington wanting to make this Festival the finest classic racing festival in Europe paddock space is going to be at a premium. There should be only working vehicles in the paddock , van/caravan fine - distant relations in car, aunts, uncles etc., in separate parking area please, hence you may have only received one vehicle pass. IF , like the Pirate and Buddha you have two vans and two caravans please contact John Davidson for an extra vehicle pass.

Donington are trying to group classes together, so the estimated 100,000 spectators will know where to go to see the premier class (sidecars) nearly premier 125s etc., etc., you get my drift. The designated area for sidecars is at the Redgate end of the Paddock behind the hospitality boxes as usual, plus a bit on the gravel on the left.

Thanks Ian, looks a superb grid, just wish I could be there!

Note that there are at least two newcomers at the end of the list - Grant& Ian Chapman, hope they do well

Tony and I are no longer doubtful, we won't be there (I was there last weekend and it looks a lovely circuit). We both have the European road race bug and are doing Gedinne instead. In the meantime I shall be going out with Allie Kat for our first meeting on her F1 at the Bemsee meet at Brands in the middle of August. I hope you all have a great meeting, I am kind of missing you ish. See you at Snetterton.

Good luck to you both,...............we will miss you too.

We welcome you with open arms into our paddock and you "kind of" miss us.............

Hey Mr Sidecar Bloke, where's the Pembrey race report? Slacking or what!

Careful Terry, you might just be 'volunteering'

For Pete's sake not MORE flippin Chapmans!!! The paddock'll be over run with 'em soon.

PS Not sure who Pete is

No worries there Bob, Ian knows Im too fick to be able to do that. He does a great job and that's why I miss it.

Hey Nick, maybe we could allocate the job to the Chapmans, they could write a tenth each!!!

OK I miss you so much, my life isn't worth living anymore . . . . . who are you again?

Is this event a one off or is it likely to be on at Donnington again next year?
