Castle Combe's Autumn Classic has a similar programme, with the Superformance Ferraris, FISCAR and the CMMC appearing along with GT&SCC and the HSCC's Griffith's Haig Trophy and the returning Formula Juniors. The meeting is on September 23rd.

Thruxton would have done better with a one day event. Hope they have some good displays or it will be a very slow day. May need a good book.

Sadly, the BARC's optimism that new series would come on board has been misplaced and they are left, as others have already said, with a rather thin weekend's sport. Fingers crossed crossed for some good entries and as Mike said, a sunny day.

The issue to my mind, is the reliance of parades to pad the timetable (plus a couple of free practice/warm up sessions which, whilst useful for drivers, aren't necessarily the most entertaining). |

There are some very interesting cars promised for the JRT which should make it a real highlight for the year overall

Memorable too for Barrie Williams regaling anyone who would listen with stories about how his tow-car broke down in northern France & he ended up buying something cheap on his credit card in order to complete the journey. Happy days, as someone once said. |

All sorts of big names there, like Gerard Larrousee & Jean Sage. Funny thing is I didn't even know I was going to a race meeting, I just drove a Mini down there to meet-up with Costas Los, then to drive his Allard Lexus back to London. |

Sure, Gérard Larrousse did quite a few races with his mate, Jean Sage. Mostly under the banner of Switzerland cheese. I met them during what was Mobil Economy Run here, an endurance having absolutely nothing to see with "economy"! Did it once at Ricard, finishing second in class with my pretty std Rallye2. I remember winner was a works Audi 100 coupé pedalled by Marc Sourd. Those were the days!

Motors Festival des 50 ans de Croix
8/10 September, Croix en Ternois track (near Arras,Pas de Calais,France). You'll meet our René Arnoux should you be wishing for. Nice bloke. May be the European Formula Ford Festival will be the most interesting grid.
https://www.hvmracing.fr/en/content/...0-ans-de-croix Provisional time table: https://www.hvmracing.fr/img/cms/202...2%20Public.pdf John, may be you'll have a go (or is it Angoulême for you?)? |

It's a great little circuit. Raced there 3 times 20 years ago. Always loved going there and it typified the best of the French. The loos left a bit to be desired but the food was great.

Unfortunately there are very few car race meetings now - plenty of 'bikes, track days & other stuff. We are on a bit of a limb up here racing-wise, it is very much rally country. I gather the MSA miseries have banned UK clubs from organising here. |

I should have added that the circuit staff and local French race officials were pleasant to deal with.

I have lived a few km's from Croix for the last 19 years & the circuit folk are just typical for this part of the world. I'm originally from Norfolk & I liken them to East Anglians - very open, very friendly, invariably with a bit of humour in there. They are good, honest country folk. Despite what you might read in some parts of the UK press, they like the British too. I don't regret coming to live here in the least - you certainly won't find me moving back any time soon! |

Gerard I like the Dijon track. When I first raced there in 2022 I did not like it at all. I called it a Mickey Mouse track. But over the weekend I came to enjoy it very much in the Lotus Elite. Brian Lambert said to me that it was a very technical track. He is right. But it is also a bit of a balls out track as well. It’s history with F1, nicely displayed with posters on the main building walls is very impressive. I think I would enjoy it a lot in the 1965 Marcos 1800 GT.

Indeed Robert, very technical. And there are lots of efforts on the RL tyre something we have not on other tracks. Even more complicated, we see that sometimes when they resurface the track its worth reconsider some of the race lines. Tricky! And as you say, no need to have a lot of power under the bonnet to have fun there. Your Marcos will be ready next year I suppose?

Dijon Motors Cup! provisional time table: https://www.hvmracing.fr/img/cms/202...Cup%202023.pdf Highlight should be the F2 grid (under the aegis of HSCC). Cars accepted in HF2: F2, Formula B and Formula Atlantic, pre 1979. New for this year the P9 Challenge: GT/Touring and prototypes until 2016; a hypercars grid with a contemporary twist. A dose of "modern" motorsport to make the cocktail even tastier !
