It was OK, nothing amazing really. I don't think the Pistonheads area was as good as previous years.

I got a BOGOF offer so me and my bro got in for £32~. I don't think it was worth the £34 per person on the day.

I think the girls are getting some unfair reviews, some were pretty fit imo.

Glad I'm not just being a grumpy bd, and others thought the whole show was a bit crap, along with the PH stand... again...

The highlight of my day was shaking Ed China's hand haha!

hehe
The number of times I heard someone at the show say "Did you see Ed China" or "you hear Ed China is here!!??" was brilliantly funny.
Was there on Saturday, for my first Autosport show it was generally ok.
I think the one setup that really impressed was Caterham, their main stand was good looking and busy. They then had the whole Experience rides in the live hall which was brilliant (even though I did not take a ride)

PH stand ranks with the Lotus stand, basically dead with three cars out front. Pity

Really enjoyed the show myself, lots to see and do the whole day. Cost me £20.66 to get in (3 for 2 offer bought in advance), the same as every year if you wait for the special offers.

Overall £20 (or even £34 at full price) to me is well worth it to see the 2012 F1 cars, live action show, hear guest speakers in person such as Jackie Stewart/Derek Bell, never mind all the rest.

Went for the first time ever on Saturday - pretty st really. Was booked in for the live arena at 3:30 but couldn't be bothered to hang around that long so had gone by 2pm. Roll on Race Retro - much more my sort of thing!!
