I heard to say that Bugatti will be one of the marks which will be well represented this year, it's true?
Best regards

On the 11th of July (just 2 days after the Festival), it will be 35 years ago that Pedro died.
Sending a BRM up the hill would be a great tribute!

It's also 40 years since the making of That Movie - it'd be great to see James Garner here (or Bedford or Sabato).

why the "patina'd" d50, whats the point, we know its a replica, nothing wrong with thatm but why be so dishonest!!??
sorry another question, is it "pat-tin-ah" or "pat-teen-ah"

I also agree on the D50, it looks very wrong!

Any more updates on the programme? see Nigel Mansell is making his debut appearance ( I'm surprised that he hasn't been before!)
And how many other TNFers are going?

I applied for the tickets last year and didn't 'win' them - so rather than mess around with the Times offer again just bought them instead

We have some fantastic historic events in Australia, but I crave the range of marques that are on display and in competition over in the UK. We are generally very lucky to have Peter Giddings driving out here with something historic and exotic, but you guys have a smorgasbord from which to salivate over!
One gets a small taste of the atmosphere at Goodwood from the dvd productions, but it is just not the same.

If you are planning on getting near to the cars as they line up/warm up, wear some earplugs, most are unsilenced, cars like our March are very loud even on tickover.

Are earplugs essential?

PARDON?
If the Alfetta 158 is there this year, don't miss the run-up they do towards the end of the day. It normally draws a crowd in the paddock and applause afterwards: it must be the only engine which is tuned by ear. The scream of the supercharger is wonderfully excruciating and I've seen people literally jump in the air in fright when the throttle is blipped! Heaven .....

That is exactly what came to my mind. I recall the 93?/94? FoS when Jim Stokes' people were warming up Carol Spagg's car. The tight sound from the blown 1.5litre Tripoli 165 MBenz is a close second.
It is what the much-missed Jenks would call MUSIC

Nino Vacarella and Richard Petty are slated to drive.
Sheer Magic. Where else could I hope to see such legends??

Last year my son & I were watching this piece of automotive theatre on the Friday morning when I recognised the lucky b*st*rd who was due to drive it.
It was only the long haired one off Top Gear !
I was so envious I could have decked him.

The two cars in the picture above will be there, which is the M8F of Richard Piper and Richard Dodkins March 717, both with over 800BHP/lbft.
Cathedral Padock is where the Sports and Touring cars are located, it's near the bottom of the hill the other side of the road from the Cartier and Supercar padock, behind a fairly high bushed fence which makes it harder to find than most of the areas.

The Cathedral Paddock is not harder to find. You just follow the trail of TNF members.Originally posted by JSF

Thanks JSF, I'm hoping I can get my hands on a preliminary entry list soon. The website only has a brief snippets of entries.

Or by the Lofty England statue ...
Alternatively we could meet at the front entrance to the bar marquee on the cricket pitch for a beer .
Any other suggestions?
