Hi Paul,

I probably can't make it now until the afternoon - where abouts will you be hanging out? Will try and make it in the afternoon still as it is just a few miles from home for me.

Saw the morning session - had to get back after lunch. You forget how quick those F1 cars are !!! Thanks for telling us about testing.

Sorry to have missed meeting up - looked around car park before parking up.

Well done Paul for bringing this great day to out attention. I had never before seen, heard or felt the speed & noise of these truely awesome machines.

Puts it into prospective just how far Rick still has to go. [8D]

Thanks to Paul for a great day out, arrived at the Little Chef just as you all left, lost most of you once inside the circuit! Apart from spotting Kimi's and Juan's cars, I couldnt easily identify the rest really , Ralphs yellow helmet in the Toyota was another. Just looked on the ITV website, but they havent listed drivers and times
so still dont know who these rest were!

Thanks again...any idea how many Porsches this year?

Thanks Paul for organising it. I parked in the public carpark opposite where you all parked. Met a few of you, which was nice. Dan S.

Tracey counted 39 cars in the main group, plus late arrivals & those that parked elsewhere.

Before I knew it, most people had left the Little Chef at 10am, but I hung around until 10:30 because I knew that a few were arriving after 10 as arranged. At the car park there were 39 as counted by Tracey but shortly afterwards RobbieMeister arrived and that made us 40 []

We are going to struggle to beat that next year [] I left at lunchtime because I had to pick my car up from Machtech and managed to just miss the rain. I'm sure the cars were louder this year - my ears rang for hours []

I wish I'd been there, but today I fitted my big disks and front struts and saw my head stripped, cleaned, rebuilt and eventually fitted to the block. "Big components" being fitted tomorrow!
