One would think a 70 year old chap like Mark McCann would have better things to occupy himself with than filming cringeworthy clickbait YouTube content, but I suppose not.
Nice to see you've moved onto a new target after years of bitter and snide comments about 'schmee'.I did hear a few stories about people struggling to get into Mallory.
The event didn't feel as slick as the last one, I had no idea what was where - apparently there was a map but I didn't spot it.
Lots of very interesting cars about as you might expect from an event like this. Getting out was actually surprisingly easy, but even parking the cars up felt a tad haphazard. I was next to the MX5 club and they had half their members on their stand, and the other half spread to the four winds because they couldn't get through the other cars parked on circuit.
Not anything remotely big enough to spoil an enjoyable event, and I got to talk to a huge number of people. It's very much an event for YouTubers and those who follow them I think, a different flavour entirely to Rustival (and I love them both).
The 550 however must have taken inspiration because on the way home I had my first breakdown in it! Suspect alternator failure.

The comments on this latest IG post suggest they really messed up

Petrolheadism are claiming there was an accident that clogged things up.
Perhaps it was just too many people for the stewards to get parked quickly.

Supercar Blondie now has an auction platform.
I really don't understand why people are setting these up, Collecting Cars is already well underway.

Took us 3 hours to cover the last 2 miles to Mallory Park yesterday. The tailback was caused by the utter clown show that unfolded in the venue itself. Twice we were sent towards what turned out to be dead ends resulting in cars attempting to turn around/reverse back the way they came while more cars continued to be added to the chaos by clueless staff who had no idea what was going on. I shouldn't have to get out of my car at an event I've paid to attend in order to try and direct traffic while the people paid to marshal the event are nowhere to be seen. One of the Mallory employees mentioned that the Petrolheadonism staff that had been sent to supervise parking had just cleared off.
Enjoyed the show once in though. That Rover SD1 Vitesse looked great.

Traffic management at Shedfest was nonexistent.
Took us 3 hours to do the last 3 miles or so. Once finally into the Mallory car parks it was an every man for himself free for all. Marshals were nowhere to be seen.
I'm not convinced there was any accident, nobody I spoke to had seen one. Petrolheadonism need to take a long hard look at what they're doing. There were similar issues at the AdamC Fest last year, and they are the organisers of this year's at Mallory in a couple of weekends time.

I dunno, it put me right off the channel tbh, getting evidently hammered night before then riding the next morning is mental. TBH I find the attitude of the 44 Teeth chaps to be a lot of arrogance and naievty around the law abroad when they do those trips.
I did laugh when they were moaning about the big fines in Switzerland for speeding. I just assumed everyone knew you get reamed if you speed there. I had zero sympathy then.The riding the day after the night before is very much a know your limits thing for me. The one most at risk is yourself on a bike.

The comments make grim reading. Would be an absolute nightmare with kids in tow.https://www.instagram.com/p/C6dxlRht6Sl/

Traffic, Traffic, Traffic.
Is the F1 British Grand prix the same ?
For the f1 aren't there like 4 or 6 lanes outside silverstone ?Traffic, Traffic, Traffic.

Pretty sure last time i went they had either 3 lanes going in and 1 out or 5 and 1 then switched it around post race.
Really as a show organiser you rent a track and they have traffic management companies they normally use you'd be bad to not use that option .
