I've just been contacted by Dave Morris and he is asking for a favour. He's organising another Italian Supercar display at Oulton on the 31st August. As before, it's free entry for two people and one, maybe two parade laps of the circuit during the lunch break, racing accidents permitting. If interested put your name on the list and I'll publish all the details nearer the time. A potential Northern meet but not limited to Northerners!

Sounds good, would be nice to finally get those parade laps in after what happened at the British GT display. Got to check with some friends that we are seeing over the bank holiday weekend first but i had one eye on going to the Gold Cup anyway so hopefully we can work something out.

Enjoyed the day last year Benny, even without the laps, but can't make that weekend I'm afraid.

There is a possibility if there is enough interest from the forum members of combining this with a forum meet. If there is enough interest then I will put the wheels in motion.

After discussing with Matt and Benny the plan is that anybody from the South or further North that wants to attend the Oulton Park day we can combine it with a forum social day / night on the Sunday before the Oulton event on the Monday.

I own a pub In the South Manchester area. Its approx 45 minutes drive from Oulton. I should be able to arrange a group discount at one of the local hotels to here. There are a number of restraunts in the area as well.

Meet Sunday afternoon / evening. Meal out followed by a few more beers at the pub. Anyone from the local area that just wants to come for the social on the Sunday is more than welcome. Hotels for those that are staying over on the Sunday night and then meet Monday morning for a convoy to Oulton. The track is around 30 miles away from me around 45 minutes depending on the traffic.

If there is enough interest then I just need to know how many people want to stay over and I can make some enquiries with the local hotels.

I'll come - hopefully the race drivers can contain their enthusiasm and we can actually get on the track this time. Even so the racing looks good.

Also up for the Sunday.

It is a Maserati meet but I'll ask the question as its a bit of a special car. I'll get back to you.

No worries if not Ben. Just can't really be @rsed to get the Maser out of storage. Too busy enjoying the green monster at the moment.

A sexy ex ;)

I think he is talking about his kermit over black Fiat X1/9

If an X1/9 joins in at the back it'll look like somebody nipped in from the car park

Does it count if Italy and Japan were on the same side in the war, I might sneak in :auto15:

I love the gold cup , some of the best racing I've ever watched was a classic touring cars race , they're not trailer queens, they take it really seriously , so much so that they shove each other up the grass to win.

One year there was a E type race and barely a car finished without body damage

Miles. I've asked the question and David is happy for you to come along. I told him it had a Volumex donk in it and that's what swung it, so I hope that's right!
