..... and three days of Classic Racing over the weekend of the 9th, 10th and 11th August at Donington Park this year.
Should promise to be a great weekend if you are interested in race bikes (and Ducati race bike history) of a few years ago- but don't be fooled into thinking that these old bikes are wrapped in cotton wool- there is some crazy close racing to be had!
Last year there were quite a few famous faces around the paddock- a certain Mr J Whitham was racing a Honda MT125 (Foggy was in the bar cheering him on), Phil Read wheelied down the start/finish straight on a Yamaha M1 Moto GP bike, Steve Baker gave Nori Haga's WSB R7 a good thrashing and one of Vale's Desmosedici was also there to be drooled over along with countless other two wheeled beauties.
All being well, I'll be going round in circles over the weekend on my old 250 and for those interested there are more details at these addresses:
