Trouble is, it looks like it's going to be wet all day.
Any hints / tips for spending a day in a field watching cars go past in the rain?
I could take the kids beach tent, it's not that big:-

I really fancy going to Croft today to watch the HSCC qualifying and races.

Since you work for a construction company its quite simple.........wear the HI VIZ PPE you give to your staff

Take as little as possible.
Wear wellies or waterproof hiking boots
Wear waterproof trousers if you have them
Wear waterproof jacket or a poncho
The more kit you take, the worse things get. If it wont go into your rucksack or pockets, then dont take it. With the wet and mud, youll only regret
it.
Dont bother mate. When you get back in the car you will wonder why you bothered.
Just get wet, it's fun

Just wear shorts and take a shower gel. It's called economy
Oh, and make sure you've got a towel in the car.

Umberella and waterproof trousers.

take nothing with you as others have said. I prefer lightweight waterproofs and a change of clothes in the car and expect to get a little wet.
The tent looks like a good idea (if it's actually waterproof...). Otherwise, I would advise not wearing loads of waterproof clothing unless it's breathable; with the current temperatures, you will be running with sweat in no time. Brolly would do it. Possible that and a groundheet, then you could use it as a min shelter (like the tent) but more easily movable if you want to go to a different place.
