I am scuppered slightly in terms of only being able to arrive at the FOS on the Saturday at 08:30 ish. I have supercar parking but assume that won't help in terms of skipping crowds arriving?

Will it be crazy busy at 08:30???

depends which direction you are coming from, there will likely be queues at the time, but not mega queues... for the supercar parking you will enter via a different gate with less queues anyway i think... i wouldn't worry too much tbh..

I go from just south of Farnham and last year I left the tickets behind so had to turn around meaning we got to the area about 8.30 and the traffic was pretty bad. I'd say we queued for 45 mins+ which isn't toooo bad I guess but still longer than if you get there earlier tongue out

Ah ok. Thanks. May see if I can wangle getting there sooner. Managed to squeeze another half hour of time so arriving at 08:00 now. Fingers crossed.

I aimed for between 8am - 9am arrival last year on the Sunday as was sat in traffic for literally hours. This year I will be aiming for earlier. Going down the night before is obviously an ideal solution if time and money allows.
