Thanks for all the great advice guys, an early start it is so.
Looking forward to it even more now.

"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It's about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom."

If you want to do the Audi off road experience booking opens at 8:00 am. Need a driving licence.
Free water and icecream on the AA stand. Good seats too.
Giant slide from the Ford stand.
No dodgems at Mini - they have cars with screens and Playstation of driving the Hill.
The Michelin guys are the ones from Le Mans.
Do the F1 paddock first thing. Seb Loeb in the Peugeot 208 T16 is going to try getting the record for the hill - group 7 & 8.
Some of the manufacturers have a lounge with coffee if you show your keys.

I enjoyed Chris Hoy's over-enthusiastic stab at the hill in the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020. It seemed to survive cutting through 5 rows of bales quite well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzvzZyq9zoE |

Yes, rather embarrassing. Molecombe is tricky. It's usually some Italian stallion that turns up with a glam girl demonstrating a new super car who shunts it.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yes, poor old Anthony Reid tore a wheel off the Aston and dropped fluids on the track and the following car crashed too.
He's a talented driver and normally inch perfect on the hill, but I guess that everyone gets it wrong sometimes.
- a few years ago I saw Justin Law post the fastest time of the weekend in the Silk Cut XJR9 (I think). He knocked the end of the rear wing on the flint wall and touched nothing else - that was very close.
