A generally awesome day.
Discussion
Didn't see a general FoS thread but just wanted to say we went down yesterday, the first time I've been in over 10 years, I can't believe how much its expanded.
I got my tickets from Mission Motorsport courtesy of the nice guy who owns Thakeham homes. No chance would I and the missus been able to go without his help.
What struck me most was how nice all the staff were and how ready to help. Particular hats off to the light year one guys who chatted for ages and the guy on the RR wraith stand who took us behind the barrier, without us asking.
Dispute getting there before 9 and leaving at 1830 we didn't get to see everything. Was cool seeing a Gen 1 Insight on the Honda stand having driven 500 miles in one to get there.
And I only saw 2 topless men, one eastern european and an italian guy doing that chinos, blazer and got look they seem to go for.
I now like Esteban Econ even more, what a legend for totally abusing the Merc all the way up the hill, twice.

For the second F1 run we were stood opposite the holding paddock, that was great as you saw them all going down to the start line, including some drivers giving it a bootful and drifting round the bend onto the track. You then got to see them full bore up the hill, surprising how much they moved around under braking.
Shame about the weather on Sunday. Had a mate who did Friday and Sunday and he said the rain took some of the enthusiasm out of it.
Despite not having kids I thought it was a great idea that the likes of Ford and VW catered to them.
