I had a brilliant time there, despite the weather. A bit expensive to get in, £20pp, but was great action all day....and I got to see an Enzo!! My only grip....why turn up with a Lancia Stratos and not take it on the track?

I also took a load of HD footage which you can see on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/martinmorg31

I felt that for the cost of the day/in comparison to previous years, it was very disappointing. £20 to get in, x amount on fuel, x amount on food, another fiver or so for a programme.. i did feel a bit let down with the lack of action on track compared to something like Japfest, where there always seems to be a public session on demo taking place!

Plus points were of course the many, many cars on display, I really enjoyed watching the new Mini WRC car, and people like Jimmy McRae

But I felt it was lacking a little in terms of what was going on, and there seemed to be alot less traders this year too.. I wont be going again if that the way its heading frown

I did enjoy seeing the Enzo parked amongst 205's, Sunbeams and Nova's tho!
