Looking forward to seeing some great cars and great Guys again this year and some of the TVRs we had at the 72nd Meeting which was probably one of the greatest events ever I guess a never to be repeated experience as next time I guess more people will attend and that was the beauty of this years event the spirit of the Revival without the crowds

The Best money you can spend if you book the Friday its cheaper than Saturday and food well there is Tesco there where you can buy food at sensible prices if you don't want an over priced burger and you don't have to get the program although the ear Piece Radio is worth having as you can keep up with the commentary anywhere or take a packed lunch.
All Told a great Day
And should you decide to go down on the Saturday without a Ticket the Over the Road area which also has a lot of stalls and the Bonhams Auction Tent is great with the biggest free classic car show with all the pre 73 cars parked up many with there show descriptions and some even for sale signs so all in all a great package.

I'm only going because I get a discount being at headley court. It is a fantastic event. But over priced to keep the RIF RAF out.!!

This is what has happened to Monterey. You need a small fortune to attend all of the events on offer.
Sadly, I will be back home and will miss it.
Best,

Hopefully next year.

Need to make "Little Thunder" a bit more reliable before I embark on the 3750 miles trip smile

i wil be supporting the ginetta entries!

it is even worth going just to see the cars displayed in the pre 72 parking, and i think last year they also had a big screen showing some of the racing

Is £44 considered expensive for full a day's entertainment?

Maybe I'm out of touch but with people paying £50-£60 to watch 90mins. football this looks good value to me.

Its the Best value event in all ways would not miss its so much more than just a racing event its a real live Time Machine you pull in park your car and step back in Time it is so well organised and where else can you see cars racing that you usually never even see at most classic car shows.

I think you're stepping back in time too there Andrew; it's not been dead cow & pig's bladder for 50 years. More likely space age technology synthentics filled with nitrogen hehe

I've never paid to watch a match either, I went to FOS 2006 and that was fantastic, it was also the year I did Le mans and Silverstone.
I guess I need to go too at least one Revival before making a price moan.
Sold out anyway, so maybe next year.
