Not that much action on track. Apart from Tony Jones Porsche ending up on its roof in the Grp S race,
The Sauber is stunning close up, beautiful construction and design great to see it again after all these years.
Sad though to hear that the future of this event might be under threat.
Linfox have apparently increased the track rental by around $40'000, One VHRR member said that it's all a part of a plan to try and push them out of the picture so that Fox can turn it into an invitation elite Goodwood Festival type event which would also feature modern cars.
Lot's of angry competitors as well being pushed down into the mud so that the paved areas can be used for trade stands and VIP areas.

Maybe Lindsey Fox ought to grab a set of Wellington Boots and wander about his superlative facilities...he may own it, but whilst the track is in reasonable shape, nothing appears to have been spent on the facilities...apart from one new shed. The tunnel under the track is pathetic as is the layout of the pits.
I sincerely hope that what you are asserting is not true about "an invitation elite Goodwood Festival type event" which could kill the goose that laid the golden egg once and for all and just become and invitation only trackday
