  1. Fantastic turnout from the ones. We are going up on Friday and making a bit of a weekend out of it. Can’t wait!

     

     

    Really wish i could do the same Linky. It's a great turnout of F1's . Logistics have beaten me this year, sadly.

    I'm definitely going to try and do the next one though (2020 ?) ...............

     

    The Scottish driver additions certainly make it look interesting to.

  2. Nice to see 178 back

    No Tom yet though still time

     

    I'll be very surprised if 84 & 464 aren't added to the list, especially as it's a WQR

    Unless Tom has other commitments .....................

     

    Edit

    I've just noticed 464 has been added, so i'd say Tom is not racing for some particular reason

  3. That's an absolutely crackin' line up. So pleased for Rob and the team.

     

    The Davidson & Harris cars pictured, always look stunning. So that's Tom and Nigel returning on the same day. Brilliant.

     

    It's already been asked, and i'm interested myself, What car was Nigel practicing with at Birmingham ?

    Also, is Catherine Harris racing any formula at the moment ? For some reason, i thought she was coming into F1 :g:

  4. Re-open the back straight terracing would be a good start. although I imagine it's all about the doggie people's comfort.

     

    That's exactly what I was thinking Andy,

     

    I like to stand outside, on the straights, at all F1 meetings

    At Sheffield, one side is completely closed, and the Home straight is on a slope

     

    Can't wait to see where 5 million quid is going. There's nothing on the official stadium website (that I can find)

  5. The entrance fee, wherever, is always the smallest proportion of my overall cost of attending a meeting.

     

    When i do weekenders, like the Ipswich / Northampton weekenders, i stay at Travelodge, and the dog has to come to.

    It's a £20 additional charge just for the dog to stay in the room.

     

    So, for me, £20 admission for this meeting is excellent value for money.

    The additional costs involved in any meeting, including child entry fees, are a separate argument.

  6. And if we didn't know the booking lists and saw 29 cars we would be even more disappointed so the above is rubbish

     

    Not fully sure what you're saying Harry.

    Do you have a minimum number of drivers on a list, that makes you not disappointed ? Or is it more about favourite drivers being in attendance ?

    Lets' say an acceptable driver attendance is 35 on a list. Will the meeting suddenly be dreadful if only 34 turn up ?

     

    Personally, i don't understand the obsession with lists , but it's clearly important to some

    So Nina's statement certainly isn't rubbish to me.

     

    Car numbers doesn't guarantee anything

    Last year, i saw a Brisca F1 meeting with over 100 cars and it was probably my least enjoyed meeting of the year.

    Sadly, the weather played a part in that.

     

    Last Sunday i saw a meeting with less than 30 cars, and the four 'all in' races were very good.

  7. I second that Will, hoping for a great aft / evening session.

    Weather is due to hit a massive 17 degrees around start time !

     

    I'm getting an overwhelming feeling on Stoxnet at the moment, that the season is over

     

    There's still 7 shoot out rounds remaining.. I wanna enjoy Dan whilst we've still got him (many others as well , of course)

     

     

  8. That's a quality field of drivers . More than likely 2/3 format .

    Good thing about this format is that most drivers get 4 races.

     

    Notably not on the list, that go well at Sheffield, are 34, 249, 166, 192, 94, 335, 215. ( perhaps to be added later )

     

    Looking forward to this as i've just had a weekend off and am suffering from withdrawal symptoms .

  9. Big thumbs up to this format :bigthumb: Every other race an F1 race. Perfect

     

    At Buxton, you wait so long for another F1 race to come along, you could visit Spedeworth Caverns inbetween races (or Blue John if you prefer)

     

    It would be nice to see this meeting better supported than the last one here. Sheffield is a crackin' facility .
