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

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
