This was my first time at the Classic and while I was there ostensibly to work on the Scalextric stand (in an air conditioned area I may smugly add) I do have a few comments:
I loved the cars. And the access my paddock pass gave me. To see that many 917 Porsches was a dream, as was the deCadenet Lola. And all the other stuff...
Racing, I saw only a couple of races but it seemed good to me, the GT40 era (plat4 I think) on Saturday evening was great.
Surprised Chunder that you couldn't find a programme seller, where were you on the circuit? Certainly there was a vendor by each entrance and a couple by the pits.
Only negatives to me where:
Heat. (not anyone's fault...)
Friday grandstands where all free, Saturday you needed a ticket. Not the end of the world, and my pass to work the event probably meant I missed out on being told this!
Expensive. The food! My expenses claim is er, interesting!
But overall, a good event, I'm spoilt at Brands Hatch in that I see nearly the entire lap from my view point so it took some getting used to with the 4-6min laps, but I enjoyed it. And please, make the 90s GT parade a race!
