Yea, would have enjoyed hearing a posh commentator saying:
"As we wait for the Sapphire Cosworth, Sierra RS Cosworth and Escort Cosworth to arrive in the Mall, I can tell you they are all running the new GTX3071r and Autronic management... these cars are very close to William's heart since he was the king of the mad mile a few years ago"
Cheers,
Grant

Yep - Diana used to take William and Harry to Buckmore Park quite a lot when they were young as well.
