We used to do the 2 days, but too wearing for that.
Missed a lot of racing as distracted by the pits and the stands and meeting hill climb friends everywhere.
Qued a long time on Sat to get in and that was at 8.00am, getting out was a touch manic with members of the public taking over the roads as pavements with lots of cars moving around.
I got some abuse from one chap that my car moved past him while he was in the road.

But I attract such people in the 911!

Had friends racing there and Friday and Sunday were not good, so struck lucky.
Very few early cars there.

Weather was awful yesterday.

Bumped into one of my brothers customers who was racing a GTA and Giulietta Sprint - who thinks he may have the road wheel I'm looking for....so that would be a result!!

Agree that it is only a one day event though.
