Such good news. It was rumoured a while ago and I was thinking it wasn't to be. Can. Not. Wait.


EDIT: How many laps do people reckon it will do?

Agreed, I have my doubts that it'll be taking part in the parade under it's own steam. I suspect it'll be paraded on the back of a truck.

This could be amusing. I wonder if there will be a special screen erected or whether they will just show it on one of the big screens trackside?

I'll be on site so will probably check out the screening. Could be a great spectacle if they do it right.

Also...

Does anyone know from experience if there is a good time to do the pit walk on Friday in terms of being able to move and actually see anything? Later the better I assume?

I've tried mid-morning, early afternoon and late afternoon, they all seemed to be much the same to be honest.

I've only done it once and that was very early. It certainly wasn't quiet, but from photographs I've seen taken later in the day, it was comparatively empty.

Yeah this is what I mean. Every photo I have seen taken it has been rammed full of people. But I suppose that makes for a better photo. I'll give it a go and see. Thanks for the answers everyone.

Have any of you ever sponsored a car - even in some small way?

I was a member of Tim Lee-Davey's short-lived Sponsor Club back in the very early 90s.....

Roger Wills is down for 2 cars in the Legends race.
Is he ALLOWED to race in there? I thought it was classed as extra practice, by the ACO? Have they revised the rules, again?
