We were there on Sunday after a very last minute decision but too late to see this race ,unfortunatey. This was the first 'Revival we've been to and all I can say is 'Wow' - a totally unmissable event - the atmosphere and nostalgia were unbelievable..........and the cars!!!!!!!! Sorry we didn't see you among the millions, Keith, but we did see your Jupiter!

The R1 would have finished the Fordwater Trophy race if the pit marshal had not directed it into the finish parc ferme by mistake since it had been surrounded by cars that had already finished. As a result there is not a picture of the R1 taking the chequered flag!

I had started to feel unwell the previous evening with what turned out to be similar problem to what Pete had on Friday night. So most of Sunday after the race I was curled up in the Glamcab 'garage'. I left at 3 for a leisurely drive home. I just made it. The liquid motion took 4 days to return to an acceptable state.

Glad you all enjoyed your Revival. I hope next year to organise a club area so will need to have some commitments from you all to attend again. For those without the luxury of nearby accommodation you can camp/motorhome adjacent to the track.

We are definitely planning on making a weekend of it next year to make the most of it (it wasn't possible this time due to a wedding), but it would be a bit too far for us to take the Jowett, however, it would be fantastic for the club to be represented with a display!
