That is an amazing amount of money. Congratulations once again.

How many cars did the marshals check in on the day? (Who did a great job standing in the rain for us all).

We had approx 250 ticked off on the lists, but I know there were some cars which hadn't been ticked of (specials, late arrivals etc) so we think there must have been around 300

There were no more than about 10-15 that weren't ticked on my list. A few were scrawled on the bottom of the pages where I didn't find them quickly enough! paperbag I'd better do it again next year so that I can get better at it! wink

One idea for next year: could there be water made available (standpipe or a hosepipe with a tap on the end) for those wishing to give their cars a wash 'n brush up when they get to the event?

Obviously this year the Lord him(her)self provided but this may not be the case in the future hehe

Wait, yes they will. I'll be standing in front of the speed bumps again, and it'd make a mess if they don't slow down. wink

IMPORTANT

Does anyone happen to know who won the United Autosports raffle prize of British GT hospitality with the team at Donington?

Unfortunately it was one of only two prizes we didn't take a name for and the winner has yet to contact the team.

With the date approaching we need to remind the winner otherwise they will miss out.
