Blue Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Jon, will this actually be a big event or not? it'll cost me 6,5 hours of driving one way to get there (and a eurotunnel crossing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insurance Jon Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Don't know if you think it will be worth it or not, but you do get close to the action, max runs down the runway. 3-4 thousand people. Cars hitting 180 mph. It all depends what floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 what will they do? Sprints? Slalom? trackdriving? ...? do you get to see all the contenters up close? is there any facility to shelter when it's pissing down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 what's the weather forecast like anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insurance Jon Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 sunny! It's kinda a multi disciplin event. you've got a max speed run over 1.5 miles. then the handling which is a tight short circuit. and a 0-60 comp. the way it's laid out you can watch all the events at once, or catch the vintage courtessy bus to the end of the runway to see the vmax cars as they cross the line. The event has only been going 3 years so it just gets better each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
