Cool pic Ganyam!! I thought an orange or yellow car lost it, but we didn't see that crash, we saw one with a blue and white bonnet, so could be one of them there

Will try and go again next year - possibly for both days this time - camp on site to avoid the 1.5 hour traffic jam to get in!

Thanks OP. :beer:

Come in from the other end, no traffic at all, couldnt believe the jam in the oppisate direction.. :eek:

We tried one direction but there was long queues so we tried a different way and there were still long queues.
We didnt have a map so couldnt work out a different route - will have to swap tips next year!

It was the orange guys team mate

The orange guy in that photo is the tournament leader.

I do not know the orange guys name if you have not guessed

I was sat by the dunlop brigde for that race and it came off right in front of us. I did check to see if you could go and get it like in rallying but there was barbed wire and people may have noticed

An white and blue car lost his bonnet too and suffered some front end damage too

Saw three cars hitting each other, didnt see the bonnet come of, but that caused some body damage...

Thanks guys,

We had a great weekend too. The only thing I didn't like was seeing how much litter people left on the floor as we were leaving

Badges sound kinda cool, but I'd only wanna say hello if I passed one of ya, don't have much confidence these days for much more:(

Traffic wasn't too bad apart from getting out today

We only live in Nottinghamshire so we went both days.... We had a great time, loved every minute of it. Great experience, hubby loved it.
The atmosphere was great. Took a picnic both days,but spent odd bit of money on tea, & a hat for grandson.

Was upset when the weather decided to be sunny instead of our usual rain, never expected it to be as hot!!, so I was cursing that we could of took the tent.

Only downside was getting out of the car park on Sunday, but you can not expect much more with such a big crowd that was there. Everything else spot on.

Many thanks again for this great opportunity to see this event for free.
