As Title anybody going? I'm going with the wife and my youngest.

Hmm - thinking about it. Was there this weekend for the British Superbikes and saw all the promo material. Might see if my old man wants picking up and taking out for the day...

I'm hoping to make this.

Weather permitting I'll be there

I'll be there with my mate.

A friend of his asked if we could take her child with us so we got him tagging along too. Showing the thrills and spills of BTCC action!!

There's some bits where you can get nice and close to the track , so it should be a good one to introduce kids to racing.

Do they have commentary over the radio like some tracks do? I can't remember.

I can't remember either but they have loud hailers all around

but you're right about about how they let you get close to the track.

Was my first time last year. Loved it!!!

So quite a few planning on going then. This will be my 4th year. In 2007 my ex-boss got his brother(ex motorsport manager for dunlop) to get me into the vauxhall garage and spoke to Giovanardi and his race enginneer. that was cool.

I'll be there.

Whats the cost for the race day? would like to go just depends on funds and if owt else going on.

It's £28 on the gate. Been the last 3 years wasn't going to bother this time but after watching the Donnington rounds today, think I will be now.

Yes - it can be a bit patchy in some spots (notably on the outside of the track from Knickerbrook down to Foulstons (or whatever they're calling it these days - the chicane after Shell Oils Hairpin) but around the main square of the circuit it's usually pretty good.

Cool.

Is it on FM or MW?

i'm gonna be making my way up. I'll be hanging around the paddock and pits a lot outside of the BTCC races!!

Everybody getting ready for the weekend? I can't wait.

The Chicane is Fosters isnt it?

I'll be there. Looks like it might be a wet/damp race!!!

I think the grid girls might raise a few temperatures!!!!

was outside oulton today , went to the lake with the mrs , could hear them practising.

they were putting the cones out for parking as we passed.

weather was brilliant
