    To anyone who's never been to watch, it's well worth it. free to watch from the Prom or for about a tenner you're allowed a pitlane pass. last time I went I ended up deep in conversation with a Mk 1 Cortina driver as to the state of his spark plugs he'd just removed, and possible causes (asking me showed he was desperate!!).
    Good luck Russ, hope to see you some time during the day.
