Gold Cup August Bank Holiday

Post by tomkidd »

Hi folks

Is anyone planning on going to this? Would be good to get a group of cars parked up.

Looking at the entry form on the HSCC site it looks like the pre-65 Touring cars are there on the Monday only, doing practice and two races on the day.

I'll be there on Monday by the looks of it.

Been every year since 2006 , bar 1 :roll: , so my plans would to be get there this year, well worth the trip, usually a good pre 65 field and a circuit the Minis do well on, and the Group B demos are always worth a look

I know I've put these pics up a thousand times before, but i've got pics of every year on my flickr site, not as good by any means as surfs but something to look through if you haven't been before ! (scroll down a bit !)

I do wish they'd talk to the HRCR and try some classic rally cars for a change, Group B are great to watch but do tend to be everywhere nowadays.

Some great photos there Murph, Id forgotten just how many cars I managed to gather at Oulton in the noughties, we had a field full of crackers in 2008! :shock:

A great photo album from Blyton this year aswell there, really captures the event. 8-)

Timetable: http://www.hscc.org.uk/images/Provision ... 130315.pdf

Very tempted to go on Sunday aswell looking at the timetable, anyone that fancies it feel free, there's camping onsite. All tickets and passes will be posted out tomorrow with driver tickets for the whole weekend, passengers pay and under 13s go free.
