I thought this was the best one yet - maybe because I was there and it was a fabulous weekend . It seemed to capture the atmosphere better than some of the previous programmes and seemed to tell more of a 'story'.

Yep, definitely the best yet, possibly because I know many of the cars and some of the drivers. Very enjoyable.

Don't argue with her, just put your foot down and let her know who's the boss in your house.

one of the most enjoyable hours of telly i have seen in a long time. I thought it was an excellant portrayals of the highs and lows of historic racing. Has Jonathan Baker developed a mid atlantic accent - must be his wife's Irish rubbing off on him!
Great to see Roger's Lotus Cortina finish after our disappointment with it the year before - ironic really given it wasn't prepped for the 6 Hour this time!
Cant wait for this year's 6 Hour after that!

Actualy I did put my foot down tonight,thought it was the best one yet,looking forward to going back to Spa but the closing comment from SWMBO was 'Thank heavens that's over'! These women have no understanding at all,why cant they be like us blokes.

Absolutely brilliant. I know I am in a minority of one, but I love the music too. Maybe they can play it over the Tannoy at this year's event? Will make a change from P Bertrand.

Been looking foward too watching the Spa program all week. Blooming central heating packed up and there was no way Mrs Delta was going to let me stop to watch the TV. I guess it will be on again.

They did not feature much on the winning car did they? Probably never expected it to win and went Cobra instead!

Wonder what criteria the production team used for selection of teams, cars and drivers? Otherwise, I thought this was the best episode so far.

Credit where its due; that was an enjoyable programme.

If only Dancing On Ice wasn't on I may have got Mrs Race4Fun to watch it!

I like the music too.

I hope we can do this years race (1965 911); although need to do some work on our lighting...

probably those with something to say! To a degree clearly they were going to have the nicer cars as well because frankly they make better telly!
Roger's story as it unfolded made great telly but that was the producer's good fortune and messrs Wills and Bronson's bad fortune!
