I had such a great time on this trip, it really was special. The weather was perfect, the beer and food were delicious, all the guys were great company and the Motorsport was just immense. I feel very privileged to have been their. 
The first morning was bloody scary at first, and i was only a passenger  . The pit lane and car park was just crawling in amazing cars. I counted at least 5 full on VLM cars with full teams around them, 3 or 4 Porsche racing teams having a full shake down.  Both Nobles from the top gear program and a V8 Atom thrown in their as well. Add to this 3 Fezza scuderia's, 2, 458's,  3 Gallardo's and countless GT3-RS with at least 4, GT3RS-4.0 
I was like a dog with two dicks. 

Anyway here are a few piccies. 

An early meet and loading the two cars onto the trailers. Both Milteks Golf R and Steve's GTI looked the biz.

Now onto the mecca. 

Supercopa, this was struggling to move in the pit lane with dif and clutch, twas very very fast and loud.

Porker Mk 1 Bat Mobile. This thing was twitching and sliding all over the place, a right hand full.

Their was two of these full on yellow racers, air jacks race fuel, the whole nine yards. They also had lap boards out so were timing laps.  and as such went past everything where and however they could.

The Nobles and the V8 Atom. A
ll three only did a few laps, i think it was just Chris Harris doing a Auto Car review. The nobles sounded like gurgling dragons driving around the car park and they looked every bit like top end super cars close up.

A few old cars were out playing.

A pretty fast MK 1 Capri. Actually looked great and not dated.

This old Jag and another old race car were in front of us on one lap. They were also surprisingly fast and were driven by Buster gonad's as they were on two wheels and sliding round high speed bends. Simply awsome.

^^^^
Great quality images, Tom! 

This trip will be something you'll never forget all your life!

Ok Now onto the two cars we went with SteveP's GTI and Miltek's Golf R. Both cars were immense and right up their with quite a bit of the Exotica. 
Richard the guy driving the R was a seriously good driver and he knew the ring like the back of his hand. Only the race spec cars could touch him all the GTR's and GT3 porkers were gobbled up by his driving skills.  It really goes to show it is not all about the car.
