Hi Neil -

Most people seemed to have a good time and weather was fairly friendly, especially considering what had been forecast...

The Ford GT did not book for tracktime, but was brought along at lunchtime for the static picture shoot. Peter Saywell (owner), also brought along one of his Koenigsegg's - Awesome piece of kit!

It had been planned to clear the grid by opening the gate just after the pit lane, but this was not possible for some reason so a slow parade lap had to be hastily organised. This was led by the Koenigsegg and the Ford GT, both of which kindly took a lucky passenger for the lap. Andrew Batt was gifted the ride in the GT after John Bate was drawn and Nadine Geary jumped at the chance of the Koenigsegg, leaving her Datona Cobra in the pits for lunch.
