It is superb. One iof the years motoring highlights and well worth the money.

This year will be ticket only. If you go and want Grandstand seats then book now as some are already almost sold out. Best are Park and Paddock grandstands.

You'll have a job getting a nearby hotel now as they'll almost certainly be booked.

If you like cars, old and new, and seeing them up close. then you'll love it, I normally go on the friday, i'm really bothered about people spotting, just the cars! Awesome!

Thumbs up

Best selection of cars I've ever seen at one show. And you get to see them up close, not from behind a barrier. It is pricey, but definitely the one to go to. You also get to see the cars in action, which is what we really want.

Best motor show in the UK every year IMO.

Been last 2 year. 2003, i went on sunday to see the final sprints up the hill. Absolutely brilliant.

Even walked all the way to the top of the hill, where they all park up and regroup.

Jenson Button is a madman! He put the BAR Honda F1 Car onto the grass, and sprayed the whole grandstand with stones and dust by doing a full on donut!

I want to know what Rod Millen will bring in 2004, to try and get top spot in the sprint compo.
