Did anyone other than Mitch and friends go and what did you think , no comments regarding the crap weather on Saturday!
Regards

Thought it was a good starter for ten. The weather meant no crowds on Sat. Shame many of the cars were driven at 60%. I was on my own with my young 'un (inc pushchair) and we suffered really badly trying to cross the track. The crossing marshals were an utter shambles. 10 min gaps between cars but refusing to open the crossing for even 2 of those minutes. It almost ruined the day for me.

I didn't go to the event but I was near it on Sun and saw a lot of nice stuff on the roads early in the morning. GT40, E-types and lots of Westies/Caterhams.

Sorry for double post
Agree with Jubal, enjoyed the day in spite of the weather. We had the same problems crossing the track which did spoil some of the fun. However I will be back next year

I enjoyed the weekend, but agree the crossing was poor, but i was told there will be a new bridge in place next year,
i think the organisers will learn alot and improve where needed, shame the weather kept alot away,
but some very nice machinery was there, even a jag 220 made a apeareance, though he did mleave the field very slowly due to clearance issues,
shame the food stands see the need to charge so much for there wares, 5,10 for a burger is taking the mick, when the hosts farm shop were selling sandwiches for £2,10!!!, and the asian curry stall seemed very good value too!!,
will be there again next year

Mitch

The problem with the crossing point was acknowledged on Sunday and with more formal timed crossings during the day helped a lot.A pedestrian bridge near the start line is proposed for next year.
Good to see that Bentley will be main sponsors for the next two years.
