Well it seems to be a common verdict (I went on Saturday only):
Positives:
Racing excellent (as noted Solberg and Ekstrom were superb)
Group B 'demo' excellent - 5 6R4s on circuit? I'll have some of that!
Paddock access - still able to see the cars being worked on which was good
Driver access - there were plenty of drivers willing to talk or sign stuff (not all of the big names but some at least).
Negatives:
Toilets - back to the bad old days - not enough and those that were there were dirty (even first thing on Saturday).
Rig Riot - just no. For a venue with noise issues that is just plain stupid and that's before we even mention the content and the fact that the music was drowning out the engine noise - the sound of the cars is part of the experience, don't drown it out.
Drifting - I still don't get it and can't see that it has a place at a rallycross meeting.
Terry Grant - ok if you haven't seen him before, seen him once don't need to see him again.
