Yes I'll be there.
However, I see the theme is "Supercars" - wonder if we can get an Elan on the grid?
I will take the Elan - red over white S4
Hope to see you there

We're going to try and get it on the grid along with Elise ;)

It's reputedly the most busy one of the year so get there early to get eats!

I gave up!
I queued for ages, the did a U turn and went home and got the bike!
Saw a +2 in the queue, and a pale blue coupe on the way back on the bike, but no Elans on the circuit or in the paddock.

Next month is soft top Sunday. Last year that was the busiest I saw - I guess I'll have to go even earlier!

Made it in (we were staying 10 miles up the road and got there at 7:20 though). The Elan and the Elise (along with a couple of others) an Esprit and a +2 (silver roof with the rest being metallic blue) were in the car park in front of the track. Had lots of attention which I was quite suprised by given we were off the beaten track.

I was amazed at how many people were there! It was a one way system so had to drive across the track, along the side of the main paddocks then back under the vehicle tunnel to get out, then out to the main car park. There were people everywhere! Even just waiting at the car parks next to a round about!

A very nice day, very relaxed and good to be able to stand aboce the pits to take lots of photos. Some rather boring cars got onto the track and lots of the same car too (the 1st of a model went on the track then the rest in the paddocks until the paddocks were full, then they were loaded onto the track again).
