A lot has definitely changed in terms of the information being put out and the event in general. Going back less than 10 years ago there used to be the first "whos driving what" list issued maybe in April. Then 1 or 2 more revisions were issued in the months leading up to the event. Always gave a good idea of what was going to be there.
I think they have stopped doing the press launch event at the house which used to be in February or March also?
In the last one or two years the air displays are either the Typhoon or the Red Arrows. No attempt at variation.
There are a fewer current F1 cars being used on the hill.
A lot more manufacturer content since the moving motor show kicked off. Did the supercars get a much larger paddock last year also?
I'm sure Lord March isn't going to change anything as long as he can keep adding £5 or 6 pounds to the ticket price each year and achieving a near sell out across the weekend overall.
The event is definitely going in a different direction in my opinion then when I first started to attend. I do understand Lord March is running it as a business but the current/future road car stuff is of less interest to me.
I am only going 8 years and I see a definite change for the worse. It has got substantially bigger but no better, I think they have stopped doing the press launch event at the house which used to be in February or March also?

I get a feeling it has been oversold.
I have never come home disappointed but I fear I will.
Whatever year that happens is my last
