I was a bit dissapointed really.

How many stands do you need selling model cars, books and pictures?

I have been to a few motorsport events this year and maybe this has spoiled me?

....and the live thing, was really cool, especially the F1 stock cars (which I see often anyway), but do they have to treat us like children! Green and red bunch of **** mate!

Probably the worst show I've seen there.
Went to the Live Arena on Friday, only about a third full, and it died a death.

I have lots of pics from the show, not the live arena, as I gaveup doing that after the year they did the BAR launch which was cack.

Will put pictures on Members Gallery later this week.

Very let down by the show. Also felt many of the exhibitors obviously had not been traning on shows and did not interact with the crowd and chatted amongst themselves. Great show if you want to look at exhausts and tshirts all day.

Very little educational stuff and couldn't get close enough or in most of the cars.

Got a bit bored to be honest !

Not the most exciting show thats for sure. I'd not been before and thought there would be more stands for the public rather than trade. But being as I had a trade guest ticket and didn't have to pay, who am I to complain . Won't be rushing back to it next year though.

Thought Prodrive may have had a bigger stand. The MG looks like the dogs testapods though!
