Anyone go today? I'm thinking of going tomorrow, not sure whether it'll be worth it.

It's worth it - even just to see and hear the Scuderia Ecosse F430, FXX and F1 car

Fantastic day..I loved it!

Great pictures by the way! Did you see the Cobra crash in the morning?

Particularly enjoyed watching the Koenigsegg lapping (but I am biased). FYI it hit 135 under the bridge and the brakes caught fire in the first session. Alan the driver certainly cleared the pipes out, and it seems to be running like a dream. Can't wait for next week, when we will find out if the CCX beats the Top Gear lap record with it's new wing

[northo]

Would also like to say well done to all the supercar drivers today, who put on a great show. If things go according to plan I will be lapping in the K'segg tomorrow, and as I am shite, it will your chance to kick its ass.Treat me gently.

Very much enjoyed seeing the koenigsegg. I'm still shaking after seeing and hearing the F1 car though! Did the commentator say it was doing 190mph down the straight! If you're there tomorrow tell them not to bother with the music on the speakers!!

Yup, he was exiting the hairpin at around 30mph and was then braking from 190mph for duffus

The F1 car lapped in 41.5 today, an average of about 112mph apparently Utterly stunning, as was the incredible FXX - the noise it made was just superb.

I'm trying to work out how I can link these directly to the album - anyone help?

I have loads of high res shots of most of the cars, including the Supercar on-track runners. Let me know your car details and I'll email them to you.

A 41.5 lap must have been pretty exciting! I remember when Ron Cumming was doing 46s in his Arrows a while back (probably last century...yikes!) and that was a farily agricultural (by F1 standards) 3.5 litre car without TC, flappy paddle gearbox, etc.

Have to wonder how quick a modern F1 car would go on a warm summers day when the tyres can warm up properly...

Thanks - I had spaced between the PIC codes and the URL.

D7 Digital SLR with 70-210 F2.8, these are low res, full images are 2-3mb.

Maser - great shots, and good to meet you yesterday. Any shots of the K'segg would be appreciated so we can post them on our website.

[GreigM]

maser - great shots I'll drop you an email to see if you've any more of my car.. nice to meet northo as well, hope we didn't give you any more stonechips

[GreigM]

Have more videos - some great footage, waiting for google videos to verify it then I'll post.

[northo]

Greig - magic footage. I watched it and thought I'm not actually as crap as I thought, and that was in the afternoon when my passenger got the heebie jeebies and I had to slow down! You can see that I had noticed I was about to get passed in the chicane. Awesome driving from you guys, it was quite an eye opener for a novice - I am assuming that was Gordon car you were in?
