Donington Historic
Public
I spent all of Sunday at this year's Donington Historic Festival, my first motorsport event of 2016. The weather was pretty poor -- cold and windy, with patchy rain -- but the racing was good, which made up for it. Not quite as many people around as for the much warmer DHF last year, but still a fairly good turnout.
I didn't take many photos as I only had a small camera and the light was far from good. Here's one from the paddock, where there was a small (static) lineup of Bentleys from their great interwar years. There were other pre-WW2 cars competing (Alfa, ERA, Talbot etc) but these were the only non-modern Bentleys I remember seeing.

In spite of the cold, dreary weather, I couldn't resist the sheer silliness value of having an ice cream. It was May, after all! My first 99 of the year, and very nice it was too.
