Just got back from a great day at Oulton Park watching the Masters Racing. (Plus now a curry and a few beers !)

60s Touring Cars, 60s and 70s GT cars , old Formula Fords, Minis, E-Types, GT40, Lolas, Chevrons........

What an excellent day and reminded me why I used to love going to these sorts of races. Total access to the paddock, wander the pits and into the pitlane, such a difference to some of the modern series and my last experience of F1 and WRC where you can't get anywhere near let alone talk to mechanics and drivers, stick your head into the cockpits and have a look, watch driver changes in the pits etc.

I can highly recommend it. Bit bloody chilly mind you and a few drops of rain otherwise a great and cheap day.

A few photos and more in my Photo Archive.

the wednesday morning testing at Mallory park is all open to walk around, I guess it's just a bit hit and miss as to what you might see,..

Is that every wednesday?

Austen on here told me about it, and I popped down on a random dry wednesday and it was great fun, and only £2 as a spectator

Lola T70 Mk3

One of the most beautiful cars ever.

I may do the same then (hopefully making sure the battery on the camera is charged up).

Showed the mrs the pictures, she likes the porker but not the e-type.
