Just wondered who's going to this and also if folks have been before would you recommend it please? It's a long trek for Vern and am still undecided.

LINKY!

Ohh thanks for your replies, you may well have twisted my arm, might even look into camping or stopping in a hotel nearby as the journey is a big un.

this is the best event of the year, get yourself on the track, its better than sex! i have been on the track the last 2 years running, the 1st time with 160 bhp to play with, and the second time with only 90, but fast or slow its the best fun! im taking my mini this year and although the handling is sorted and its stripped down etc, its still only a 998 and i cant wait!

get yourself there for sure and come say hello!

I'm gonna head down there. Not sure about taking the mini yet, but it's kinda the last outdoory type show I normally go to.

If it's dry it's a good day.

If it's wet, it's a laugh watching the track action! :)

I did it last year and it was damp.

The only problem with it is you can't overtake on corners. Obviously a safety move but its where a mini comes into its own.

I *should* be there.
