Silly Question Time. I have friends coming over from the USA and want to attend the FOS. Any chance of them getting tickets now?? Also anyone got any idea of how many people per day come to this? Thanks guys.

Been watching the stream all day, it certainly looks like another superb event.

Can't wait until tomorrow.
The mini did well in the last race, should be good tomorrow.

Looks like there is still tickets for sale, the wiki page notes that attendance is capped at 150k. Just need to check on the web.

Dress code states 'no blue jeans' so I'd assume that other colours (particularly red or mustard most likely) will be just fine wink

For anyone who is there - how well is the dress code being observed? It's not wam so I figure it's more about not getting hypothermia if you are standing about spectating..,

70% of people were as per the dress 'code', 20% were slightly more casual (i.e. trousers, shirt, sweater but no tie, like me) and 10% were in 'full casual' mode, i.e. full Subaru WRC gear. You won't look out of place in jeans, don't worry. Just wrap up warm!

It is extremely cold, those that got there at gates open got incredible blue skies but it quickly clouded over.

Fab day so far anyhow, the three demo runs were incredible, in my opinion. Some of the F1 GTRs were properly on it, seeing 5 come round a corner (the front one with more than a dab of opposite lock!) then nail it was an experience I will never forget.

Absolutely bloody freezing, pulled out early I'm afraid. Dress code is warm. No blue jeans ideally but I did see one chap in shorts ......

I'm another one who left early due to the cold - thermals tomorrow i think!

We saw some fantastic racing today and found the monumental fecking up of the 'IWC Track Moment' very funny indeed.

Amazing first day, started off really sunny, but then got quite cold. I lasted till 2pm, before I went back to the car to get my coat !!.

Lots to see, the McLaren F1's all in a line and in action on the track was amazing.

Some photos from today can be found here.....

For those going Sunday, wrap up warm.

Please don't wear jeans. The dress code specifically asks attendees not to wear jeans. Jeans are not even warm.
