There does not seem to be a lot information out there in terms of what is going this year, apart from the 100 year old FIAT.
Autocar are saying that Mazda are taking the 787b back to the hill, which, I will be honest makes the journey worthwhile on its own.
Anyone else know of any highlights that they are looking forward to?

Richard Petty and his Superbird will be a highlight for me. Oh, and the 300 SLRs all together...

I always look forward to the driver list being published - anyone know when this will happen this year?

It's normally a week or 2 before IIRC the seem to provide less and less information each year.

Everything really, although specifically The Zakspeed Capri (My favourite car ever), Mad Mike, Ken Block, Richard Petty's Daytona and the Mazda 787B.

I met Rossi at Donington a few years back, his motorhome was right outside the box we had at the time. Nice chap.

Personally the Superbird and the 787b. Also I'm taking my wife and 2 year old neither of whom have heard a proper F1 car before, should be interesting.

You will be blown away!
If you have any interest in rally cars, the Rally stage is an absolute must.

I've just had a text from Mazda UK saying I have won a pair of tickets for the Saturday! Absolutley buzzing, always wanted to go, but never been able to afford it.

Happy boy today!

My tickets have just landed for the Friday. Absolutely can't wait and hope the weather is as good as the previous 2 years. Personally for me the best bit is all the stands showcasing the different model of cars, really looking forward to seeing ferraris offering this year.

The whole day is just superb for me.

Was given tickets for the Friday for my Christmas present. Genuinely can't wait. It's been a few years since we last went. Superb day - love everything about it!
