Festival of Speed Celebrity Spotting - Who Have You Seen...?

[NicoG]

Evening all,

Managed to get the afternoon of work today and went for a couple of hours... Got my Bonhams catalogue signed by Lord March, said hello to Jason Plato, and saw Rowan Atkinson in the auction... That's about it so far.

Unbelievably, I've sorted badges for the house for the rest of the weekend, a mate who did the same last year through Ferrari hospitality was drinking bubbly on the balcony with Kylie.

So, having convinced SWMBO to come along for the rest of it on the promise of celebrity presence, who have you seen?

To those who are going, have a great time !! Can't believe this is the 18th year...!!

Cheers - Nick

Nick Mason getting suited and booted by the Auto Union 1st thing, and Lord March kept popping up everywhere!

[rev-erend]

Duggie Lampkin .. only.

I think all the celebs and drivers now have places to stay away from the public.

Was still a great event though.

Tiff at the BMW stand in the MMS on Thursday

[SlowlnFastOut]

Bruno Senna.

[Waugh-terfall]

Damnit, no Tiff, March or Plato... I did see Dickie Meaden of EVO fame and Dougie Lampkin gurning like a bit of a fool as you'll see when I get through my photos

[lost in espace]

Ken Block and Murray Walker going in to the house within 10 seconds of each other.

Was Plato in bike leathers at one point sure it was him!

Alsosaw nick mason, Bruno senna, ragnotti, the red bull team chief with long hair and the BBC f1 presenter.

[Mr MoJo]

Only Dougie Lampkin on Thursday for me.

[OllieWinchester]

'Ruffy' of Road Wars fame.


I'm the only one of my group who recognized him or had a clue who he was...



Saw Dougie Lampkin, Lord March, and Plato, but definately less Slebs than last year.

Not much good at Celebs, but I did see Lord March at one point on Thursday.

Oh and Ned Morris - Owner of the Marcos Mantis XP

Tiff at MMS. For celebrity spotting go to the Dunhill Drivers' Club entrance where the groupies hang about with photos to be signed. You can tell the ebayers as they have a pile of stuff to be signed.

Even better, go inside (if you can ). I've never seen so many legends in one place before. Being in a queue behind Bruno Senna and in front of Derek Bell was quite surreal...

[GKP]

Plato, Monkey Harris, James fat bloke chef, Nick Adams - all on Friday.

Said hi to Jake Humphries, loads of rally drivers couple of tv people i cant remember their names and had a good chat with Richard Noble of SSC fame.

Friday- Kris Meeke? mark Gene, jason plato, matt neal, and pretty sure i saw JayKay from Jamiroquai walking through but not 100% (he was eating an ice cream) walked past me and i shouted to dad 'look dad it's that JK fella' he then proceeded to stare at me looking quite angry and walked off. So it could have just been a lookalike or he just wasn't ahppy to be spotted.
