Ah that's awesome, tell your mate his performance is great, the bikes really stole the whole show for me personally.

Great day today, really enjoyed it. Some fantastic cars, great to see the street track and drift area set-up around the Hydro area to let some of the cars off the leash. most of the demo drivers were really giving it the beans and were committed to giving everyone a great time.

A couple of wee improvements for next year.....

1). The indoor display arena needed more tiered seating, lots of folk not getting a view and heaps of spare, unused space behind where folks were standing.
2) They should have let folks who were picking up premium wristbands collect them from the ticket office outside the arena rather than having to wait in two queues, having said that the folks inside were pretty efficient.

All in all, a great effort a superb day out and thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking of going next year.

Better security round the cars brought in for display runs

Was chatting with Paul who suffered from the attentions of the great "we don't care" unwashed

But from a spectators perspective not bad for first attempt

Great show was there over the 3 days on the TIPEC stand where we had 4 cars on display .We had the cars roped off to save cars getting unwanted attention a pity as would love to have allowed people to see the cars closer up but having them roped off gave the owners peace of mind against scrapes etc . I know a lot of club stands had open access but far safer to rope off

Agree the holding arena where track cars where kept should have been access for the owners and there invited guests and passenger who had track laps.

All in all a great show and know doubt the organiser's will take on board all the comments made on social media re the event heard it is on for the next 2 years a great showcase for Scotland and Glasgow .

Excellent show and some very expensive and rare metal on show. Great value for money also. Red Bull RB7 was very enjoyable. More information / organisation to when the shows were on would have been helpful and the queues at the ticket office were frustrating.

After queuing 20mins a member of the Hydro let us know there was another collection point open with no queue. Rent-a-security guard were useless at passing this information on to the people at the back to reduce everyone's waiting time.


Overall great event for Scotland. Definitely going along next year.
