Yep, we're going on the Saturday.

IMO, the finest motoring event of the year. A superb location that enables you to see, hear and smell a wonderful collection of automobiles past and present.

If you want to see the action on the hillclimb get there early and grab a space on Lord March's driveway, otherwise you'll struggle to get a good view. However, I get as much enjoyment from simply walking around the grounds and the paddock.

I don't think it matters what day you go as the schedule is pretty much the same for the 3 days (other than Fri/Sat are practice times up the hill, Sunday is the real thing).

Go, you won't regret it for a second.

Agree totally, it's a fantastic event. Just remember your autograph book, you never know who you're going to bump into.
