I went yesterday, pretty good. Lots of outdoor activity. Theres a big 4x4 track where you can be a passenger round bumpy stuff (bout an hours wait), theres a mazda mini figure of 8 track, timetrials in an rx-8 or mx-5.

Inside loads of nice concept cars (that mad mercedes thing) and some nice new models, hummer h3, loads of test drives on normal cars available too

I went on wednesday when it was only open to the motor trade

Its worth going for a look, however I was dissapointed that some manufacturers did not make an effort, VW in particular!

The R/C cars outside in the VXR tent are a proper laugh though, think we must have destroyed 3 of them!

I got to drive both of them, shame the track wasn't long enough to get out of second!

And that Mayback concept thing looked like something off The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film!

Folks took me and my brother (our wives stayed at home ) on Sunday and I was really pleasantly surprised with the whole experience to be honest. Facilities are better than NEC, and whilst enormous aren't too big so you don't end up walking *miles*.

Did a test drive of a Civic i-CDTi too, which really impressed me. I want one!

You should enjoy it.
