Hi would like to come on Sunday in my GT4 if that's ok
You need to apply to Beaulieu if you intended to display the car. Otherwise you will likely be in the Public car park if you don't have any wrist bands or passes.

This late in the day I'd back your application with a back up email to Andy.

Anybody know of any convoys planned A34/ M3 direction? thanks
I'm meeting up with a 458 in Burford then over to the A34. If you would like to join us send me a PM. From the looks of the weather its going to be a Sunday drive down.

I went both days & i must say. It was a hell of a lot more enjoyable & relaxed then in previous years! Mostly because back when it was a one day showdown, there was a lot to see & so little time to see them. Now with it being two days, even though the shows much bigger then ever, i had time to see everything & with the inclusion of the Top Gear Stunt Team doing three shows a day, i have never been happier.

I also felt nostalgic looking at Murray Walker's own personal tribute collection. F1 legends, bikes & rallycross, he made commentating them his own.

As for the cars, there was a hell of a lot of nice metal & plenty of action on the demo straight too & enjoyed every single second. I know the Holy Trinity ended up being a duo as apparently the 918 broke down, but to see any of them is a treat & a half. As was seeing the Lamborghini & Aston Martin tribute collections too. Heck this one even quite liked the SUV garden because it was in a fantastic setting & there were cars that could be bought by (nearly) everyone!

As for the Top Gear Stunt Team, they made me a really happy boy seeing all that rubber being burnt & how awesome their driving was too!

Oh yeah & the host was great as always & the events team did a fantastic job as always.

To sum it up i can only think of one very good thing. Bring on my pics!

Any idea where Beaulieu's posting their photos and video? Site says Facebook (and Flikr, I think?) but there's nothing much there.
