Sorry after wheels day won't touch the place, make sure you get there before 8am to avoid overheating and sitting 2 hour plus in traffic to the event, hopefully your marshals are better equipped once people arrive as it looks a good show

Good luck, look forward to pictures and reviews

Unfortunately that's the reason I'm not going (the exit rather than then entrance)

Yes I'm sure it will be good . As one of the marshals we run a very well practised event.

I was queued up pretty much from Guildford, and I thought I got there pretty early! It was a shambles, I'm sure the marshalls for this event will do a better job.

If you're participating in the demo runs you should be there well before the queues build up.

The last couple of years I drove straight in no problem.

We were going to do the demo runs, filled in the forms on the website many weeks ago as a few of us did, unfortunately even though the system said we were registered, the system then ate all the applications by the time we discovered found it was all too late. I think they lost loads of electronic forms, so next year it will be the old fashioned way by letter and the post service. Obviously this internet thingy doesn't work too well! Have fun, will miss it!

Hi there,
Myself and a friend Laurence Pierce will be at this event as photographers. We will hopefully be in and around the paddock area and also a trip or two out with the marshal's as we did last year.
We find it a great fun packed 2 days out and getting loads of shots of the Brooklands cars and Air show for the organisers.

See you there!

Laurence's Website is www.onesnap.uk
Simon's website is www.simonlanephotography.com

P.s We provide all our images for this event for FREE. If you see us at the weekend please come and say hi and ask for a business card. Then you can email us and if we've photographed you or your vehicle, we can send on the image.

How was the traffic? I'd like to come down with my son and don't fancy spending all morning in a jam!

Not bad considering they've got two or three entrances with traffic management .

I had to get away early but managed to hang on long enough to see the Vulcan.
Seems a lot of other people had the same idea and the queues to get out we're pretty substantial when I left.
Having said that, the marshalling was excellent and, frankly, they couldn't have got us out any quicker than they did given the sheer volume of traffic.
Great event and I'll definitely be back next year.

I went yesterday and also left just after the Vulcan. Didn't get held up in any traffic unless you count a couple of mins where they had set up temp traffic lights to help the traffic flow. I thought it was well organised and they did a good job.
