I would have given the Connew and some of the ground-effect cars spotlight space in Hall 2 not Hall 3, and I had hoped there might be a Escort Mark 1 special compound.
I am a firm supporter of the Show, but if it does not get back to its roots next year, then I think that will be my last time.

Interesting to see different perspectives, but I thought that this was the best RR that I have been to, and I have been to most of them. I thought that there were more cars on display than recent years and I liked the fact that the organisers had tried to spread things out by having good displays and a mix of other businesses across all three of the main halls rather than concentrating on one "major" hall. This spread the crowd out and spread the interest.
The exhibitors I spoke to all seemed to have been busy and were happy with the changes.
Far better than Autosport.
My only comment is that the rally world seems to persistently miss the opportunity to promote it's sport/ clubs with very few rally organisers/ clubs displaying despite the major draw of the live rally demonstration.
