Donington Historic Festival 2012 - Lots of Pics

Post by 964RS »

Popped over this afternoon with the boys.

Only for a couple of hours as thats the length of their attention span and that was how long I could last the cold!!

Would have been ok if not for the wind chill factor but that must have put it around 0deg.

If you are coming tomorrow I can highly recommend a thick coat, scarf, gloves and hat!

If you are coming with children then the only thing there today was a bouncy castle 'dome' at £3.50 a shot (or a mechanical bull if you don't like your kids...)

Funniest thing I saw in the brief time I was there was the guy who was on pole for the F2 race come out of the slip road to join the track for the race, lose it within 50 yards of the exit and plough it into the wall! WTF???!!!! His race over before it even started.... :?

Pics below. Sorry they are not Ferryman quality but was on a cheap handheld digital which son has broken viewfinder so can't even see what I'm photographing! :lol:

Should give you a bit of a taster though....

(big thanks to Russ for the spare ticket :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: )

Top stuff Jason

I'll be arriving a little later tomorrow can you guys ensure I have parking space marked please. 6' x 12' should just be enough.

Great photos Jason.

Looks like you missed the 914s.

I ended up in Pole Position on Saturday parade laps! :)
