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.

God! you are desperate!
all I can advise at present is on the green light head east....fast! and when you pass the finish.. brake or you'll end up in the Marina (boat not Morris!)
