Saw quite a few scoobs in the car park at hinton airfield, even more on the way out but the racing was excellent
Coulthard blew his engine on the warm up (was looking at his car just after the bridge when he did it ) then missed the Porsche racing but caught the F3000
Had the main race and had a few incidents where we were staying, Rubens nearly spun out when it started raining then one of the Toyota's missed the corner altogether and just passed in front of the crowd.
Trulli ended up stranded right by the gate (miserable g1t) and wasnt too impressed by the looks
Sato's engine blew up right in front of us, covering the crowd in smoke (cough cough!) but what a guy, everyone was clapping and he was waving back, then when he got through the gate he was signing autographs and shaking hands etc, didnt seem too depressed as he had a good race
All in all, a good day except that burgers cost 2.50 each and cold tea was 1.10!

Cool

Saw loads of Imprezas in the car parks (and Evo's). Almost followed a classic shape black WRX (I think) into the car park by gate 16 until the attendants sent us in different directions

Good racing and a great view being right by the start line!

Apart from the racing, highlight of the day was seeing a yellow Murcialago in one of the car parks. Looked awesome!

To be honest I thaught is was so boring it hurt sat in the copse grandstand and wanted to go home after ten minutes of racing. At least back in the day there were sexy ladies every where to make things interesting now I think they deliberately make it all dull to maximise the effect of the advertising. Most interesting thing I saw all day was a scooby with the number plate P1 in uk

I watched it from the canteen whilst at donington in the sunshine.

I thought ti was one of the best races in formula 1 I have seen in ages!

barichello going from 22 to 2nd?

schumacher taking montoya fair and square on the track?

montoya taken barichello and barichello taking him right back?

amazing.

cant wait to watch it again in the comfort of home with a big screen and proper sound!
