I've been saying that for years! I have missed the last couple unfortunately, my impression is that there's something to everyone. Yes the music isn't to everyone's taste, but you don't need to go. You can go shopping, or to the funfair. chat to fellow enthusiasts on the club stands or just watch the racing if you don't want an "all over" experience. Yes the tickets look a lot of money but the value stacks up when you put it up with competing attractions like theme parks, Premier League football etc - and that's for the quality of cars & racing alone, besides the side shows.

My one abiding memory is that this is open-access motor sport - no paddock passes, no silly dress codes, everyone welcome. You get to see the teams at work which is unique at a major event to my mind.

I'm a fan, always have been.
