Prescott - Fun Run Day 28th May - Cancelled

[Pete]

i don't even remember seeing that on the Prescott events website, but then again I'm not surprised it's awful! Did last weekend go ahead?

I went to Auto Italia at Prescott last weekend. There were more people there than for a British Championship event. I don’t understand how these non-competitive events draw such big crowds.

It’s quite simply that most car nuts aren’t that interested in motorsport, most would rather go to a car show! Motorsport venues do very well when they can combine a live show with display cars, plenty of circuits are doing marque themed events aswell now.
As an event the Prescott Mini Day (which was an idea I came up with) really should have worked, it’s just a shame our communications broke down mainly as a result of the pandemic. I may well revisit this idea at some point.

I see there is the “Historique” on the 27th May, was that always planned or has it replaced the Mini fun day?

The Historique is billed as celebrating cars from the 1990s but also with:
Fassi Classic Hill Climb Championship 2023
Healey Sport Championship
Classic Marques Championship
Bert Hadley Memorial Championship
TR Championship
Bugattis
BOC Pre-1947 Handicap Class
BOC Allcomers Pre-1990

Looks like they are covering all bases….. classics bolstered by the enormous 1990s scene, ever watched Adam C on you tube ?

The "historique" - celebrating cars from the 1900s to the 1990s." The MiniFest was an add on, I think to the competitive Saturday.
