Hopefully not last years was a complete cluster fk, causing the circuit to be closed before lunch due to large numbers of mums and their sons.

Also a quick question, what's your fascination with convoys, I've noticed that's all you ever interested in and not the actual event?

I'm with you on this one. I don't understand all the fuss with convoys. Just meet up at the event.

I went to the first one last year & even though I did enjoy it, it was a bit too much & too chaotic. But it did add a small bit to a day that I was enjoying hugely even before they came. It was because of the supposedly famous people that joined us.

The second was more organized & less out of control & they were allowed on the parade.

I bet if there was one again, it'll be more like the second as they'll keep it private & info won't spread like wildfire, thus avoiding chaos. I for one would just drive to the meet & enjoy the action on track & chatting to many people whilst thinking how long the supposedly fashionably late will be?

The information is in the public domain maybe even on this site. 60 cars in convoy.

I take it is the "youtube generation" coming to see the convoy that cause the issues, not the actual convoy itself ?

Hole in one on that one! And the Instagram kids addicted to car spotting & fans of Shmee's gang as well. Still, the action on track will always be the main draw. Especially since a friend of mine & her dad is taking two Ferrari 458 race cars with near identical liveries!

Best to get there before 9am. No worries about parking space for me! Taking the train first class & get taken to the circuit by taxi & picked up again the end of the day.

I'm heading to the circuit for around 0845 leaving from southsea I can provide a lift if that is of any use to you although I'd only be up til lunch at the latest so unlikely to be able to provide a lift back to the station.

Cheers for the offer but I think i'm sorted & will have the cabs booked the night before.
