Great day, but much was made of having VIP parking with a Premium ticket and it was a complete joke. The staff didn't have a clue what the VIP parking was supposed to be and ended up telling us to park over a bumpy field where the staff had parked "for a quick getaway!" Premium ticket prices in no way justified the extras available I'm afraid, I actually felt pretty cheated 
Don't get me wrong about the event itself, it was definitely a superb event and a fantastic display of expensive metal and a great enthusiatic crowd.
If you are going to charge premium prices next year then at least make sure you deliver what's advertised please!

Just spent half hour pulling grass out of my air intakes, VIP parking my arse!.
Nice day, as per last year, even the mrs was impressed which bodes very well for next year.
Ive now seen a Lynx do a j-turn, more than my fair share of Aventadors, some good weather in lovely surroundings.
One thing I would say, I wouldn't want to see the price go up any further. I think it's at the limit of value for money. Yes it's for a good cause but, it's in danger of falling into the trap of the festival of speed - same cars/platform year in year out can make it a bit samey. I will only go to FOS every 3-4 yrs for that reason. All the displays are good, but they didn't change significantly over last year. No bad thing up to a price point, which is about the one we're at in my opinion.
Having said that, the Lynx was a bonus, though I'm sure that wasn't it's full compliment of stunts, I wasn't complaining as it was performing them over my car.

the PH meadow was the same, my car was a bit of a lawn mower... the track out had to drive on the edge or I'd get beached too, no idea how the lower cars managed.. Just spent half hour pulling grass out of my air intakes, VIP parking my arse!.
I did tell the Marshall as he pointed to a steep sloping meadow that if it rained he would have a pile of metal at the bottom
