Donnington today, Renault.
Anyone go ?
Great day out, massive crowd, well organised parking and getting you in.
Absolute shambles of a free for all getting out, if only they had kept the parking guys on after the event and put some order too the traffic.
What was with the green diesel megane at the back of the field ? If you was there you know what i mean.

got there about 1pm just as the world series started, great entry and road changes, we said the same about the exit, saw cars going out over a field,
just ploughing through the long grass, lots of asses that wouldn't allow you to zip merge.
It wasn't you with the open window i "accidentally" washed my windscreen next to after revving and stopping me merge was it??
great noise from the world series, meganes were a bit flat sounding afterwards, the clios were good value, especially at the old hairpin.
the F1 car didn't seem that loud compared to the BOSS race we saw a couple of years ago. i think the BIG cargo plane about 1.30 stole the
day.... high wing, 4 engines, greek i think.

After the 'free for all' last year (with probably 1/4 of the folk there compared to this year), I left as the Meganes finished their race.
Sounds like I made the right move... 
Dont just build it.....make it!

Excellent day out! I think the Megane was painted in John Deere tractor colours, might that be a clue???
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

they kept saying 50 odd thousand peeps there on sun, and a w/e attendance in excess of the last big bike w/e some time back, BUT did anyone actually
pay to get in, evenr the drain unblocker man had freebies from a friend who had contacts with a local reno garage.
