Does anybody know if it's possible for us spectator types to camp and if so, any idea how much it costs please? ???
Cheers, Jon.

There is lots of grass, if you need a ticket give me a call I have some spare ;D
Whooohooooooooooo ;D I am getting on a plane and coming home for the weekend, so I will be at Oulton Park on Monday, Paul please bring my engine with you if you have space.
Advance sorry, to anyone who has the pleasure of my little boy boy putting his hands all over your race car.
See you all there

I've already got my tickets sorted but thanks very much for the offer anyway :)
Well done to everyone today for a seriously good couple of races. I thought our races really put the others to shame, particularly since most had to be restarted (at least once!) after serious incidents.
I've already written the race reports - they're available as usual at http://www.2cvracing.org.uk/racereports :) Photos coming soon.
I'd like to say that I had a great time over the weekend, the racing was brilliant and like Chris said-you didn't keep us standing around for ages waiting for restarts.
I'd also like to thank everybody for allowing me to stand around looking at their cars, taking photos of specific bits and pieces on them and so on. And also thankyou for allowing me to join in with the social side of things on Sunday evening.
Cheers, Jon.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Had a great result, did we, Deeley? ;)
Well Im happy, I had 2 really good races, very close & very clean :D
Very prompt reporting Chris, well done. The braking problems were genuine, though.
What happened with the brakes there Derek? I've changed the report a little now.
Well done too all that raced at Oulton Park (even the wife said how good the 2cv's were), nice to meet a few more of you, sorry I couldn't come and say hello to you all (wife/kids needed me too - joys of not being in the Country too often)
For me it was good to see two great races (the first time I have seen full 2cv races apart from on dvds).
Once again well done to you all, and due to the ribbing I got from a couple of you I have changed my signature and will post a photo just to prove I do have a 2cv when I can work out how I can do it from my computer ???
Also what a drive by Mr Myatt from when you pitted in race one, I could not believe what I was seeing lap after lap!
Simon ,follow chris's how to post a picture instructions in "off topic".
I did try that Paul but I couldn't seem to make it work!
Just faded away, Chris; pedal going to the floor from about half distance and had to pump it up if I wanted to slow down. Made slipstreaming interesting, especially as there was a car with no high-level brake light...
This is why there was such a delay and our 2nd race had to be shortened

Yes, it did go in the lake! :o
I saw the whole thing from where the family and I were standing, it took him a long time to get out, but at least it landed feet first into the lake! The super-kart crash looked really bad the guy just stayed in the kart being thrown all around. I am sure he would have been sore yesterday morning!
The guy in the superkart was a disabled driver,I was talking to a friend of mine who was racing karts there, he said he's broken his leg and ankle,ouch,brings back memories,lol. :o

Kart accident from the Lausitzring last weekend,couple of english drivers involved one broke both his hips.
Ouch! What is it with spectators running to take pics of the aftermath? I was marshalling at Mallory a couple of weeks back when there was a shunt on the start-finish straight & there were loads of people filming us putting the cement dust down- not the most exciting part of the weekend to watch!
The same thing that makes people rubber-neck at accidents on the motorway!
Pictures from Maria's camera at Oulton are now up in the gallery :)
