Thank goodness for that. Oddly enough, I had reassured one of our party with virtually the same expression - "bruised wallet".
I've just done some totting up and realised in retrospect that this was my 25th Bentley Drivers Club Silverstone as a spectator, having been taken to my first one in 1970 at the age of three. As far as I'm concerned it always has been and always will be the pre-eminent club race meeting. Not only excellent racing with the most eclectic of grids, but with a circuit full of spectating cars that are the stuff of dreams.
One day I will have my touring four-and-a-half... one day.
Here's looking forward to BDC Silverstone number 59.
