Im going on the thursday, been going for the last few years, cant believe they started charging last year and now its gone up again, still cars are on track more than on a GP weekend, so makes for some good photos, Tiff who did you go with to get infield or do you know someone? I saw some good prices for the Mclaren Hospitality, might get some next time.

Just back from today.

Massa, Kovalinen, Kubica, Piquet Jr (who doesnt do hit the same bit of tarmac 2 laps running!) Webber, Rosberg, Kobiashi sp? (Toyota Tester) Button, Fisichella and Vettel

If youve been previous years. You'll be surprised that "regular" ticket holders are allowed to roam from Luffield up to Club. Sadly you cant get on to the pit straight anymore.

Felt a bit flat after previous years. Not sure why.
