    Get your facts in order, then comment....

    The catering lot pay for their spot at the event, it is up to them what they then charge customers.....
    It is still outrageously expensive, I would advise anyone to take your own food.

    I have been several times but always get the impression that they are charging people a fortune to watch rich people play with their expensive toys,

    This year the corporate areas take up more trackside space than ever and the famous drivers are away from the public in the their bar or the house.

    It’s like Formula one, the public are a necessary evil to help pay the bills.

    This, it's a pretty unique event in the petrolhead calendar.

    Go, enjoy or don't.

    Met Murray walker there years ago, had a fantastic chat to him about his driving and my diving, such a lovely man.

    It’s great, but I’m not paying, and I don’t have to park miles away
