Went to thruxton many years ago, it was superb, access to pit, access to drivers and the racing was, well, entertaining, nothing for a minute or so, then all 20 or so cars came together and fought for the same space on the same bend - absolutely manic.

Loads better than F1 (even then).

I'd love to go again.

Used to go to all of the Oulton Park meetings, and even had the pleasure of blitzing round it in a Formula First single-seater......great circuit for watching on, and racing on!

been to tons of events, but not since 1998

it went downhill after that season IMO, but still the best mainstream racing event there is
