Harvey Postlethwaite did a little more than ".... race Mallocks, design Formula 1 cars (Hesketh) and die 10 years ago.." He was regarded as the Adrian Newey of his day, designing successful cars at Hesketh, Wolf (debut winner with Jody Scheckter), Ferrari, Tyrrell and setting out the basis...

Richard As you say an interesting article. His career involved a fantastic array of cars. I see his Morgan entry was nobbled by those dastardly Triumph people at Le Mans in 1961. A most unpleasant lot of upstarts if I might say so!! I wouldn't have anything to do with them if I was you. Dave McDonal...

Donington - Adroit Group That all sounds very strange. Steve Watton (Adroit Contracts Director and Thoroughbred Sportscars competitor in a TVR and Lotus Elan) was reported in "Construction News" publication recently as saying that now they had brought the circuit back up to standard, and i...

I have a hardback copy of Touch Wood c.1990 with additional material by Doug Nye. I would be happy to loan this out but I am VERY particular about the condition that it comes back in.

From what I have seen, the 7th March announcement will be at a general Donington Parade day when there will be a number of events on, including classic car and motorbike shows, childrens attractions, an autojumble, discounted entry to the grand prix car museum and a chance to view the track conditio...

Chris The photos that you posted are from last summer. Whether or not they represent what is still to put back or not I don't know. I have seen a similar figure to the £660,000 that Bob Bull mentions being bandied about. In Civil Engineering terms that is not a particularly large undertaking, assumi...

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Fresh from her sellout performance at the SpeedMog Drivers Dinner, and with the full blessing of Derbyshire County Council, Perverts at their Peak present the one and only Miss Veronica Squeeze and her Snake - Bertie the Boa." Is that Bertie the Boa from Bolsover sin...

Hey, you're only supposed to use the posting once.

The starting procedure looks a bit laborious.

To use other Buddy Holly connections, let's hope that Donington will "Not Fade Away" and that the Wheatcroft family , even without Tom, will say "That'll be the Day." Let's all hope that Donington can be succesfully resurrected. I am sure that like Katy it is many people's favour...

Brilliant News for Silverstone and at least the UK keeps its Grand Prix.
What a pity it was necessary to destroy Donington to achieve it !!

A "Spy in the Sky" concept smacks of Totalitarianism, something that we should all rise up against in unison. We need our own Winston Smith to fight the good fight before this becomes the norm everywhere. An organisation with a name like Curmudgeonly Eurosceptics Anonymous is one I would h...
