Bicester Scramble

[Mister T]

You're getting the events mixed up.

Flywheel was a separate event with additional entertainment, it was later replaced with Super Scramble which had a similar format.

Scramble (Sunday Scramble as it was) has always just been a gathering of cars.

Is it me, or has this event lost some sparkle.
I know the Covid facemasks bla bla bla will have an effect, but it's not the same. It's almost 'Sterile'
When it started as Flywheel, it had something for everyone, plane's, small race circuit, side shows with live music. Stalls selling everything etc..
Now you just wonder around looking at the vehicles and if you're lucky, someone might start their engine and rev it up.
I get the feeling that they are trying to push it upmarket, like Goodwood.
Or is it just me??

I have to agree the was a loss of sparkle as quoted. Hopefully if restrictions get lifted there will be more exhibits open, more cars , more people.
