Yes, I was there. Great day with the exception of the event that caused the red flag and 45 minute delay - what happened, does anyone know? I couldn't make sense of the commentator's comments - too much noise.

Sadly, the driver involved in the incident on Saturday has since died. According to the BBC Wiltshire page, he died of a heart attack during the race which fits in with the commentator's 'medical emergency' statement on the day. However, the BBC page also said the driver was in the qualifying for a Formula Ford race, but in fact it happened in the afternoon during the Inter Marque race, so the accuracy has to be questioned. In any case, it is always sad news when a fatality happens from any cause. No name has been released. RIP
