Coming extremely late to this (we are now nearer the Revival than the Festival!), I do have one or two pics and a couple of observations.
First, a couple of the statics in the Jaguar area:
Next: the only way is up..........
unless you're on the downside.....
While the balancing act was making its slow way up the hill, those in front of the house were royally entertained by the brilliant Matty Griffin (yes, he is doing a doughnut while sitting on the bars.....backwards):
Somewhere in here is Ken Block:
and another rubber-shredder:
This Alfa was parked under the trees near the supercar paddock on Saturday - I don't know if it ever ran, or if not, what it was doing there:
And back to the paddock, where we have the forward propshaft (?) of the Cosworth 4wd:
and the workings of the Tecno-DAF:
On the hill again, Stuck the younger, now 62 I believe, who was on TV the other night sharing a Lamborghini with his sons in the 'Ring 24 hours, which was apparently his last race before retiring:
And this sat in the paddock all weekend and was obviously never meant to run, as there were no piles of tyres/laptops/starters/fluid warming rigs with it:
Some of the F1 teams don't seem to be taking it seriously enough; RB brought the same 2005 V10 car they've run for the last few years, McLaren brought the 2008 car yet again, Renault brought 1 real F1 car and a lookalike trackday car they've built for Walter Mittys, and Mercedes brought the repainted 2009 Brawn again (is that the one they were supposed to have given Button, or was it Rubens' car or the newly-built car they tried to fob Button off with?). Anyway, I wasn't very impressed.
And I don't know how many awestruck dudes watched the 'freestyle moto-cross/trials' on the cricket square, but when the display was on the deafening commentary totally ruined my enjoyment of any of the trade stands.
I've been to every FoS, and to me it levelled off about 10 years ago..........but the prices didn't! But I'll still go, because there's nothing else like it.
