Did you not play the 'Dont you know who I am? IM f**king MARK CUP' card?
Should have gotten the driving gloves out, show them you meant business
Get in early for parking, its really not that bad. I recommend parking at Carpark A as its nice and flat. Carpark M is a bit hilly and can get a little muddy. Never actually bought any food at FoS as there too much to see to stop for food
Thanks for that, we will get there as early as possible. It’s forecast to rain and my car is rear wheel drive! Don’t fancy a wet field with a slope!Get in early for parking, its really not that bad.

I agree. Food is way way way over priced. And the manufacturer stands were lacking this year. It’s a great event I can’t complain too much as I’ve been for free a couple of times. However I wouldn’t go out my way to pay to go.
I agree other than the massive Land Rover stand they were all a bit poor. Even BMW’s, considering it was a celebration of BMW M cars.
It’s mad isn’t it! Bloke stood next to me when it launched of the start line…we just looked at each other with our jaws on the floor! It was mind blowing in its absolute purist sense. My little lad asked if it was jet powered… must feel like your eyeballs are pushing out the back of your skull launching that from a standing startBrilliant day yesterday at FOS.
Always a great day but, regrettably, I did have an experience with some mongs after my previous posts - @MarkCup , you were right. Bit pissed, being a bit loud and obnoxious during the shootout kind of pissed me off. We were stood by T1 and they kept trying to jump up the side of Moss stand. Unneccesary and dumb. But I digress....
The BMW stand was good but also not. Suddenly they started blasting music from a live DJ. Ive heard better singing from my cat. Instant turn off. The M3 touring, definitely better in the flesh. The buggs teeth im still not keen on. The seats though - WOW. Best seats ive ever sat in. Ever ever.
Other than those minor things, it was great as always. Definitely busier than the last few times ive been but maybe thats to be expected from a Sunday. Tonnes of pictures. £11 for a duck wrap was a piss take but at least it tasted nice.
The McMurty though. The f**k. I remember seeing it last year but this year was something else. I had to google it when I got home as I was so baffled at how it managed to corner so quickly. It has a very powerful electric fan, much like that F1 car that was banned, to give it extra downforce. It creates 1 tonne of downforce just stood still and 2 tonnes at 130mph. Seeing as it weighs under 1000kg, I gather it could drive on a ceiling
I honestly kept having to do double takes. Its a bit like watching a video thats sped up. Truly wild. If that is the future of electric, im kind of there. It sounded like a jet engine!
I didnt get to see it launch unfortunately other than the videos. But the videos tell you enough! Having actually been stood at that start line, you get a much better idea of scale. The way it does even the first 60ft is nuts. I'd love to see a Draggy time
Holy s**t you're right. Just looked again.
Bit harsh.
He wasnt there. They saw him and refused him entry.
