Highlights and lowlights
Highlights: Supercars, the touring cars, rally stage was brilliant this year, the general atmosphere just seemed relaxed and all the people seemed really friendly and enthusiastic(plus not many chavvys) and some of the cars in the car park were brilliant.
Lowlights: Just one, which was getting out of the bloody car park on the way out. (although we followed a 612 for about an hour)

Gotta agree about the rally stage, outstanding. My first experience of a rally and i really want to go to a "proper one". I found the whole thing really well planned, apart from as you say, exiting the carpark. The cacklefest was brilliant, and i was in the right place at the right time, and managed to see Dougie wow the crowd on Friday. I enjoyed it so much more than last year, thu i spose the weather was nicer to us, which goes a long way.Highlights: Supercars, the touring cars, rally stage was brilliant this year, the general atmosphere just seemed relaxed and all the people seemed really friendly and enthusiastic(plus not many chavvys) and some of the cars in the car park were brilliant.

Highlights;
The supercar display this year was very good and the guy chucking the prototype XF-R around was a nutter, the KTM X Bow (I want now! in carbon! with DSG!), the Merc CLK AMG Black (I want now!), The Arrows-BMW, the Mclaren display, the First National March, the Benetton Tyrrell, the From-A Nissan, the twin wing M7A, the display of road cars that never were, the dirty Le Mans winners, Yamamoto in the Toyota F1 being a complete nutter doing burnouts, three Veyrons in a row, the Bowler off road, the Porsche off road.
Low points;
Not enough good stands, couldn't spend enough money! The thing I've mentioned on another topic, the lack of a Peugeot 907 Le Mans (I know there was one in a pavilion but you would have thought they could have spared one to go up the hill), the Land Rover display was great but as a make they aren't exactly speedy. Why hasn't Ferrari, Audi, Lambo, BMW etc done outside the house? Surely they are more valid?, the cars that seem to live there (Rothmans Porsche, Lancia LC1, Lotus 97T.)again.
Sum up;
Good year for road cars, probably the best. Not so good for race cars. Might be best not clash with historic Le Mans again. Also what has LM done to piss off Renault? No F1 cars and no road car showroom either?
