On a side note any news on an additional guest or is it still just the 1 passenger?

Just 1 passenger please, so that we can fit a guest into cars.
The guests will mainly be ex-Rover employees who were part of the original Tomcat Affair team, so should be interesting to chat to.
We won't have more than 3 people in a car though, as there's not a lot of headroom in the back of a Tomcat
I like Twin Cams, Single Cams, Turbos and 5-cam VVCs

I know that I said it several times yesterday, but a BIG, BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped organise the event. I’m still smiling now.........but I won’t mention anything about my driving falling apart on the Alpine Circuit!

Well, that was fun
Thanks to everyone who came along, you made it a great day!
Thanks to organisers, marshals, helpers, table-bookers and all who took a guest in their cars. I know all the guests had an experience they couldn't get anywhere else
The event would not have happened with the help of UTAC Millbrook and their staff on the day.
Thanks to Mert for bringing his amazing trailer/car combo from Turkey and designing and sourcing the unique T-shirts.
Some of the first pics of the day are here - https://www.rover200.org.uk/events/past-events
There'll be many more, I'm sure.

Just looked at the photos of this event.
AMAZING!
Well done to everyone involved in organising this and for coming up with the idea in the first place.
No point in asking if everyone enjoyed themselves

I take it all the shots taken on the track are with the cars moving? so a fast shutter speed was used?

Yes a faster shutter speed, but unfortunately that reduces the depth of field so it is almost impossible to get a row of cars in a diagonal formation all in focus, well at least it is with my limited photography skills. The photo with all 30 cars on was taken with the cars stationary.
