Ok then boys and girls... here's a brief synopsis of the days activities... It took a whopping 3 and a bit hours to get down to Sussex, despite leaving unfeasably early this morning... , but we made it down just in time to see a batch of ex-F1 and 70's "Touring" cars go blasting up the sprint course, including a beatiful BMW CSL "Batmobile" that made do a small sex wee in my pants. Here's a few piccies of stuff spotted (apologies in advance for the distinct lack of sprint action.... it was nigh on impossible to get a decent spot to grab pics from, and when you did some tosspiece would hold his phone out into yer field of view so his mate could hear the engine. curse word. ) ^come to me my pretty!^ ^Mafio-so chic!^ ^Mr_Bo11ox-Tastic!!!^

One of my fave cars of the day was this Dolly Sprint. Shame I didn't get any decent pics (note to self - get camera with better zoom / faster shutter speed) Cobra blew a gasket BIG STYLE exiting car-park! That's about your lot. Suffice to say that despite most of the day being warm, sunny and generally glorious, the rains did eventually come, just as everyone was finishing off to go home. Within minutes the steep car park was a mudbath, and it became a free-for -all as 20,000 people all made for the exit at one. Bimmer got stuck a bit (two pushers and third gear cooked-clutch type stuck ) as did pretty much everything else.... it took nearly 2hours to get out of the grounds and a frankly ridiculous 5 hours to get home.... oh well..... Hopefully Chris Meercat will be along later with a selection of piccies of stuff he got but I missed....

Thankyou for such wicked pics. I've been driven round the Rally Sprint Circuit at Silverstone by Tony Fall in that 240Z... and it flies! He was only a couple of seconds behind the pace of Dai Llewllyn driving the ex-Michelle Mouton urquattro. Awesome stuff!
And I deeply want that Merc.... pure class.

Just cos something is good for you doesn't mean its good for everyone - for example Marmite does not make good Dog Food.

Great photos Nick - thanks for sharing! Looks like you had a blast. Made me want to go back there - it'd take me a bit longer than 3hrs from the Midlands though! Maybe by the Revival meet, my Benz ahould be completed (I'm on about Goodwood Revival 2025.... )
