Donington Classic Festival

Flip · 26-07-2014, 10:59 AM

Just a little reminder to everyone that it is the Donington Park Classic Festival in two weeks time.

Three days (8th, 9th & 10th August) of fantastic racing, static displays and parades including many iconic bikes ridden by some well known (ex)racers.
Debuting will be the new Hesketh 24 ridden by some bloke called Parrish and a top highlight for two stroke fans will be Kevin Schwantz reunited with his #1 plated Lucky Strike RGV500 (I was there when he won on the #34 Pepsi bike back in 1989).

As I've mentioned previously, I'll be camped up in the lower (grassy) paddock with my little 250 Mach1 Ducati #76 (although it's probably easier to look for my red Hyundai van)
so if you feel like it please pop down and say hello.

Here's some more details of the day for those that are interested:

and here's a list of bikes being paraded in addition to the static displays and over 40 CRMC classic solo and sidecar races:

This is a great day out, and will be popping along.
Look forward to watching you race Flip.

Yep, me too.
I assume we'll be doing the sunday again, James ?
I'll meet you en route....unless you fancy setting off on the Saturday and stopping over.....my spare room is always available.

Thanks for the offer of a bed for the night, Geoff.
I will probably head to Capo's on the Sunday and ride up together. Maybe we can meet on the way?
