Anyone else from here going? Last years was quite good, going to try get there a bit earlier, managed to get in the pits last year before the cars started running.
As it's a Wednesday it will be awkward for some people if they did want to go.

yeah from turn 1 but rest of the track is miles away plus you got a massive fence between you and the cars, not for me thx i prefer to be 10m away and no fence over 3ft high thx.

There are pluses and minuses to spectating at Rockingham. Biggest plus is being able to see pretty much all of the track, biggest minus is the distance from the cars. I had trouble getting decent pictures because i need a bigger lens to take them!!
Regarding the fence, pretty much all tracks have a 10ft+ fence around them somewhere.
Overall its a good visit and enjoyed myself last year

Can't beat the view you get at Donnington from the top of the hill at the Old Hairpin through to Mclaines.

Well had a very cold day (couple of hours) at Rockingham, it was well windy, which meant i had a headache all the time i was there
Anyway some new liveries, VXR red and white, not bad, SEAT green and yellow is horrendous, are SEAT UK in some sort of competition with the WTCC SEAT's???
Dynamics and RAC looked pretty much the same, apart from Dynamics have picked up some AA sponsorship, and RAC have some from Jelson, the builders, who i guess have some sort of family connection to Stephen Jelley.
The Chevy's looked good in pretty much WTCC livery. Matt Jackson's BMW was white and boring.
Will post some pix hopefuly tonight after work, g/f's pc wont boot up so couldnt access the net last night to do it then.
