Mark and I went along to the FoS on Friday last (day 2 of festival) and parked in the Performance Car Car Park - which is right at the front of the car park and only a 100 yards from the main paddock (but it is bloody expensive - and they do seem to be allowing a lot more riff-raff in these days - BMW's, Audi's and the like. A year or two back it was only Ferraris, Lambos, Astons and Porsches -plus occasionally a Zenith Stratos replica)

Anyway we saw a couple of original Strati - one in the obligatory Alitalia livery and the other a blue Stradale which was almost an exact copy of my car (perhaps that should be the other way round - but actually I didnt copy anything although it is nice to know that mine could easily be mistaken for this wonderful 1974 original car)

The Alitalia car was part of a superb Italian collection of Lancia competition cars from the last 50 years built by the late Gino Macaluso and now forming part of a foundation to encourage youngsters to enter the motor sport industry

It was great day and the weather was surprisingly hot.

Was there today and saw the cars. The blue Strat on the Cartier lawn won the concours. I really liked the new 037 Evo thing. Sounded great going up the hill too.

It's a great event and it was a superb release from the Covid restrictions of the last 18 months. Glad to see the blue car won a Concours prize - it deserved it - it was immaculate for a 1974 car.
