if you were there you know how it went . some only went round once some had car breakdowns . cars without official entries / or not displaying numbers .or leaving to large a gap. lots of small things took down the numbers who were included in the record :regular_smile:

The second attempt was the successful one and some people had already gone home after the first. A large gap formed towards the back of the parade on the second attempt too, so all those cars were discounted. There were 807 valid cars from the first video review.

A subsequent review disqualified 7 more cars for illegally presented registration plates or failure to complete the course.

A great effort overall though and big thanks to the organisers for making it all possible. We've easily beaten the record even on the "official" number, and the non-GWR number of cars on the runway was much higher.

How exciting.

Looked brilliant

What is often overlooked is that over £17,000 was raised for the British Heart Foundation

£16750 official total so far as quoted by torque volvo on the anniversary of the event.

That is correct, but Max has confirmed they have another £843 in Gift Aid to add to the total - £17593.19

Bruntingthorpe Event raised £17481 + Gift Aid for Breast Cancer Care.

Elvington Event raised £16750 + Gift Aid for the British Heart Foundation.

Magnificent amounts which makes all the hard work worthwhile....this is why a 3rd VOLVO600 Event is in the CookBook :)
