Title: Prescott Speed Hillclimb, May 24

The event is called 'La Vie En Bleu' and celebrates all French cars.  

The track itself is very good and very challenging with a tricky hairpin and a fast right hander, blind with negative camber! The paddock is full of all kinds and all ages of race cars. If it's a sunny day and you get a pitch on the grass under a cherry tree with a stone block with your race number on, it's delightful. The crowd is huge and it's like a big garden party.

Jon and I plan to race 97 and Pete might be there with his BMW powered car. Racing 2CV's are made very welcome, and the entry fee is around £120 per driver, with two practice runs in the morning and two race runs in the afternoon. A car can have two drivers. A whole days motorsport pleasure only interrupted by four 70 secs bursts.

Entries close soon, so if you fancy a different days racing, take a look at the website. We enter as, I think, the class for pre-1972 racing saloons. We're never going to beat the Renault Gordini ex WTCC cars, but, hey, who cares? If you are getting near the closing date, call Allan Cameron and tell him your entry is in the post. He'll probably keep a slot open for another 2CV.
