Always a queue!! I saw some big power 200SXs lighting up the rears in the queue a couple of years ago, kept me entertained for a while!

The back of the que is by my road in Chippenham. Only 4 miles to go!!! Bad news for the organisers as many going home before they get in.

Last time I went the queue was not that bad, they must be getting unprecedented numbers this year.

That's **** poor. Even those with advance tickets are being turned away after queuing for hours. I'd be fooking livid!

I don't want this to sound like I'm trolling to anyone that didn't make it in as I'm not, but, we left Reading at half six and were on our stand at Quarry at 7:15am. We did take a short cut once turned off the m4 and seemingly missed about 4 miles of standstill cars but I'm not sure what the queues were like at 7ish?
Anyway, absolutely great day there, sun was blazing, some epic cars and plenty of clunge to perv over. Bring on rally day in August

Was a brilliant day, we got to about 3 miles away and the queue began, to be fair only took 40 mins to get in, we finally got in for about 945
Loads of drifting
