Went today, good day out 
But it was sooo busy, there is no way getting to see any of the cars/simulators without queing for an hour - was ridiculous. But the racing was very good

riiiiiggt, so people were queing up for tyres that had been on a car, that were then fucked?
When i was with sumo power someone asked for the used tyres off the drift car and then the woman asked him if he was single,
harsh at the time but quite amusing

ye they were queing for ages for them. if you was queing for the tyres you mised all the track action cus you had to wait for the cars to go round an come off the track otherwise you would be rite at the back.

What a day! Spent 4 hours getting there, 4 hours getting home, (it's less than 2 hours from our house) spent about 3 hours there and it was a disapointment.
Went last year and enjoyed it, there was still a lot of traffic, but nothing like yesterday.
Last year there was about 57000 people there, this year 80 odd thousand, yet there seemed to be a lot less things there. All the show type things were all crammed in together and trying to move around near there was nigh on impossible.
Anyway enough ranting, pics time.
Very bored in traffic on the way...

So time to get snap happy, with some old skool cool


And some new skool






Muppet trying to squeeze into our queue with a huge caravan 

Really bored at this point 

Traffic 

More random cars



Phil returning from a 'toilet' at the side of the A50 

After taking this photo the windows came down an 4 rather burly looking blokes turned to stare at me, oops. Gave them the nod and all was good tho 

Castle Donnington with extreme traffic problems

More traffic


Nice wheels 


Eventually arrived





Number plate seemed suitable 






Some track action







Oops 








Compulsory pics of mine

Still looking sorry for itself 


Got bored again 

Nice shorts

On the way home, 2 hours trying to get off the car park












More traffic pics 




Some time later 

All in all, fairly boring, and won't be going next year
