Was everyone kept around 'farm' due to somthing they are doing to other areas of the circuit? I think i read about it over on autosport - but still looks like you got some good shots from this one!

Really wanted to go as theres no way i can get to the race this year, but it proved impossible, and it was great last year....oh well have to put up with James Allen this year!!

Nope they opened up all the way down to luffield from club. Best spot turned out to be farm and it was the only real place you could get shots over the fence, the marshalls were out today stopping people poking cameras through the fence.

LOL - i noted last year the marshalls let everyone go up to the fence around beckets during the drivers parade, which in itself was useless because all the drivers were talking to each other, and the ones that werent where being interviewed by blooming Louise Goodman!!! What the heck was she doing on there!! She gets to interview them all the time, the one time we maybe get to have some interaction and shes making sure they have other things to do!

And the drivers parade truck was in a race of its own anyway ;D

Hope it was a good day though and theres nothing like the sound of an F1 car to get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck!
