Five years since i last went, obviously diesel dominated the outright wins since, but what about the place? Same old infield and grandstands or has there been any redevelopement?

They built a public access right across the middle of Houx Annexe... and Audi built a big glittering monument in the middle of the village (unveiled by Kristensen and that singer bloke Seal in 2007)

• Trams.
• The old building at the end of the pit lane.
• Relocation of Fun Fair (seem to remember it being up near Dunlop in '05, maybe before that though).
• Hooligans.

Ahh 2005, got to watch most of Sunday from the top of the Old building at the end of the pit lane (called the Resturant I think) and then where shuffled off near the end, when we discoverd the old boy who had given us a bunch of tickets in the morning had also given us Tribune 1 so watched the end directly on the finish line, that was my first year and I will never top those two viewing points, (except getting to the Mulsanne in the wee hours a few feet from the track) It was soooo Hot though.

the village will be all new to you

(oh, and the champagne tent has moved nearer the Grand Marnier crepes)

There won't be a bloke having a scrap in the funfair with his Chimaera.

He also won't be mooning at the driver's parade.

Not as many chavs though. They seemed to hit a peak about 2007/8.

True, I was quite suprised by the exchange rate I got in Tesco yesterday.
