Who's off to the touring cars on Sunday? Dont forget to leave as quick as you can, it took me 3 hours just to get off the car park last year!!

I may just pop by - as I only live 5 minutes down the road so getting out of the car park isn't an issue for me! Have you heard about the 'golden tickets'? They're putting five golden tickets in programs and whoever gets them can go into the hospitality suites and be waited on hand and foot!

Then you have to justify if its worth spending £10 on a bit of glossy paper. I get to hang round the pits as I know one of the drivers so i'll probably keep my money in my pocket.

I'll be there as always camera firmly attached to my face.
I hope the Porsches field more than 10 cars, I don't fall asleep during Formula Renault, all the Clios keep on the track, Freddy Nordstrom wins the SEAT races and Mat Jackson wins the touring car races.
I believe Rockingham is an under rated circuit but it's facilities are excellent and superb for spectators.

I'll be there all weekend. Probably mostly around the pit area too.

Programs are £5 these days rather than £10.

Photos on my Flickr account (See profile) from Monday onwards. I'll post a link when I'm finished if I remember.

I now see why ITV have had to drop F1 - the budget taken to build Ted"s little commentary "booth" must have cost a fortune. I"ve seen better efforts on "scrapheap challenge". In fact that shiny cicular "table" looks a little like the drum from an industrial washing machine...
