SUMMARY:AINTREE RACECOURSE GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT LAPS AND DINNER
DESCRIPTION:To mark 70 years since the first win of a British Grand Prix by a British man\, Stirling Moss\, at Aintree on 16th July 1955. This was also Stirling’s first ever Grand Prix win. Stirling drove a Mercedes W196\, narrowly and controversially beating his teammate Fangio into second place. Students of history will know this race was the last for the Mercedes Team for over 30 years coming as it did straight after the disaster at Le-Mans in June. To mark the event the Aintree Circuit Club have invited BODA to take part in the commemorations. We will be permitted parade laps of the (still intact) circuit before enjoying a private dinner in the circuit facilities\, better known these days for horse racing.\nFor those travelling some distance there are plenty of hotels nearby to suit all budgets. You could make a weekend of it and see some of Liverpool’s many tourist attractions.\nExpected timings are:\n17:30 – Guests Arrival at Aintree Circuit\nSign on/wristbands/decals…drinks reception.\n17:45 – Drivers briefing for race car demo drivers\n18:00 – 18:40 RACE CAR PARADES\nPeriod and contemporary race car demonstrations on the Historic Grand Prix Circuit using the start/finish straight.\n18:45 – Drivers briefing for parade cars lapping full GP Circuit\n19:00 – 19:45 ROAD CAR PARADES\n19:00 – Cars line up on start grid in front of stands followed by controlled laps of full GP circuit. Grid order determined by age of cars\n19:45 – GP Circuit closes for laps.\nDrivers/Guests return to Princess Royal Suite at Aintree overlooking the race circuit\n20:15 – 3 course dinner served – Formal entrance by The Mayor of Sefton as Special Guest. \nThe Aintree Circuit Club are catering for around 100 hundred guests/participants. We are hoping BODA can take one or two tables at the event. This is an entirely private event\, there is no public admission.\nThe ticket price is £99 per participant (a driver plus guest would require two tickets) to attend the event and the opportunity to drive the full Grand Prix circuit plus the reception and private dinner. Dress code will be smart casual or lounge suits.\nAll Bristol cars are welcome but If anyone has a 1955 Bristol or Bristol engined car especially race cars these will be given the highest priority.\nThe Aintree Circuit Club are running the event under a Motorsport UK Permit (Touring Assembly/Procession for Historical Purposes).\nPlease can you now confirm with Michael Barton and we can then confirm payment and tickets.

SUMMARY:BRDC Silverstone lunch Saturday 5th April 2025
DESCRIPTION:This event is fully booked so just for information \nWarwick Banks is hosting a private lunch for BODA members and other Bristol car owners. It will be held at the BRDC Clubhouse\, Silverstone on Saturday 5th April 2025. \nThis follows the similar events over the past five years\, commemorating 100 years since the birth of Tony Crook (2020)\, the launch of “Aero-Dynamic”\, by Simon Charlesworth in 2022\, 2023’s event marking 70 years since the Bristol 403 and 404 were launched and last year when we marked 70 years of the 405. \nAt the London Motor Show of 1975 Bristol announced the launch of the 412 which went on to be the basis for the 412S2\, the Beaufort and of course the mighty Beaufighter. The 412 was the first production convertible since the 405 and\, although the looks didn’t appeal to all\, the basic design by Zagato was to serve Bristol over the next 18 years and about 100 cars were produced. Those owners who know about the cars and understand the design are generally very loyal to the model. 20 plus years ownership periods are frequent. The versatility of the convertible\, hard top options\, performance and the improved handling from earlier cars are much appreciated by their owners.

SUMMARY:Southport Classic & Speed 13th to 15th September 2024
DESCRIPTION:2024 sees the third running of this event. It is organised by the Aintree Circuit Club. Southport\, alongside Brighton\, Bexhill and Blackpool is one of Britain’s original Motor Sports venues. The Aintree Circuit Club is working to commemorate that and of course continue to make history. \nFor 2023 the organisers kindly arranged a closed class for Bristol and Bristol engined cars. That attracted five entries and we were able to make the inaugural award of the Anthony Crook Memorial Trophy to the fastest car in our class. The trophy went to Ben Maeers driving Peter Mann’s Frazer Nash Le-Mans Replica RPJ1. Appropriately this is the car in which Tony Crook enjoyed his greatest motor racing triumph at Monaco in 1952. For those who know their Bristol history\, Southport is where\, in 1926\, Crook became addicted to motor racing. You could speculate that without Southport the future of Bristol Cars (and cars) would have looked very different after 1960. \nIf you are interested in attending and participating in some or all of the weekend\, please could you let me know as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Southport Classic & Speed. 16/17 Sept. 2023
DESCRIPTION:As you may be aware Southport is one of the original homes of Bristol motor sport and was incredibly important in the life of Tony Crook being the place he was first introduced\, aged six\, to motor racing.\n \nThe Aintree Circuit Club  www.southportclassicandspeed.com  are running Southport Classic & Speed for the third year running over two days\, 16th & 17th September. This is reviving motor sport in Southport after sixty years.\n \nThere are several things going on over the weekend and BODA hopes to support as many of them as we can. In particular:\n  \n\nTimed Sprints on closed roads at the seafront on the Saturday afternoon\, watch or take part.\nDinner on the Saturday night at the Waterfront Hotel\, Southport\, where The Aintree Circuit Club arranges a special room rate\nAn excellent conventional Classic Car Show on the Sunday at Victoria Park\n\n \nWe have a sponsor who is prepared to provide an award (provisionally the Anthony Crook Memorial Trophy) if we can assemble a group of Bristol and Bristol engined cars to take part in our own separate sprint class.\n \nThe sprint rules and regulations are about as light as you might hope so\, please let me know if you’d like to take part in this or any other part of the weekend. We hope to have ten or so cars on display on the Sunday.\n \nMichael W Barton\n \n23rd June 2023\n \nmwb0605@gmail.com\nTel: 07801 538170 \n

SUMMARY:BRDC Silverstone lunch - Saturday 27th May
DESCRIPTION:Warwick Banks is hosting a private lunch for BODA members and other Bristol car owners. It will be held at the BRDC Clubhouse\, Silverstone on Saturday 27th May 2023. \nThis follows the similar lunch three years ago\, just before the Covid lockdowns\, commemorating 100 years since the birth of Tony Crook and again\, last year celebrating the UK launch of “Aero-Dynamic”\, by Simon Charlesworth\, charting the rise of the Bristol 450 to successful endurance racing at Reims and Le Mans. \nThe Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) are holding their International Trophy Meeting over the same weekend so there should be plenty of track action going on. Although this will be a bank holiday weekend\, we hope that a Saturday event allows everyone to enjoy the rest of the break. \nIt is 70 years since the 403 and 404 were launched and the HSCC will allow us to do some parade laps for 403 and 404 cars and then suitable cars will be parked together in front of the Clubhouse with separate parking nearby for anyone else arriving in a Bristol or Bristol engined car.  \nWe are also hopeful that the former staff of Bristol Cars and Bristol Cars Services will use the event to hold another staff reunion. \nThe weather was spectacular on both previous occasions but for very different reasons\, so we make no promises in that department. \nThe event is open to all Bristol owners so if you know someone who might like to come along but isn’t (yet) a BODA member just let me know to arrange an invitation. \nAs before I’m making the arrangements with the BRDC on Warwick’s behalf so please let me know if you’d like to attend. \nCosts are £46 per person including circuit passes\, a welcome drink\, 2 course lunch with a bottle of white and red wine on each table followed by tea and coffee. \nWarwick and I hope you can make it. It is a real privilege to be able to use the BRDC Clubhouse and we are hoping that we can have an outstanding turnout\, even more than the 90 plus people who attended in May 2022. \nCould you please confirm your booking by paying £46 per person directly to the Bristol Owners & Drivers Association bank account at Co-Op bank \, sort code 08-92-99\, account number 65417094 marking your payment with your name followed by BRDC. \nCan you also let me know you are planning to attend with the names of your guests and details of any food allergies. Also with details of your car and\, if you are arriving in a 403 or 404\, whether or not you’d like to take part in the parade. \nMichael W Barton \n19th March 2023 \nEmail or 07801 538170
