a repeat of that sounds P.B.G. to me 
yesss....there is that small point...
Yep, I think it's likely. I'd be happy to repeat it at Snetterton.
I'll need to have a chat with MSV and Stingray this week.
The bank holiday is good, the 2CV racing is good, the time of year is unfortunate (although during the day we were blessed with great sunshine). Not sure what dictates the scheduling of the 2CV race and whether it's a fixed time of year (I see it was run in June a couple of years back, although that would then clash with Le Mans).

I believe it is just a case of finding a bank holiday in May and availability at Snett. Last year it was right at the end of May.
This looks like a 'done deal'. I thought PF was about spending time with fellow PHers.
There is motor racing on at all the MSV venues every weekend and I'd add, for those who enjoy motorsport, far more interesting spectator circuits. Surely an event later in the year would be better. Are people being swept up in the moment? I had a great time, don't doubt that but I think warmer evenings would make the event better and open it up to many who stayed away this time. Some exhilarating motorsport would give us something interesting to watch too. Most MSV weekends have 4 or 5 sports car races, qualifying Saturday, racing Sunday.
Am I a lone voice?

Fair points Bob, but it was the proposition put together by MSV and Stingray that made it happen at Snetterton this year. It took certain things to fall into place to bring PF back to life - these were offered at Snet.
I also particularly like the idea of running alongside a 24 hour race.
For me, the only issue is/was the time of year and the resultant weather.
