2002 - 2008 - so 6 years I think...

Missed this year (short term pain, long term gain).

Will be back in 2010, until I die.

This was my 26th visit. First went in 1981 and missed '91, '94 and '95 since then.
Been to several practice days ( not sure of exact number) and one moto GP.

Only 12 for me although my first drive down Hunaudieres was in 1961 (I wasn't at the wheel, in spite of what you might imagine.)  On the other hand I reckon I've averaged 20 hours watching for most of those so I've amassed quite a few hours in spite of being a relative newbie. 3 Classics, 3 LM Stories and several circuit laps on top (mostly Bugatti - only half a dozen on the full circuit) plus various other meetings on top.  Very pleased to have maintained my viewing record this year and only gave in at 3.30 in the morning then up again less than 4 hours later.

I was slow to learn but I'm trying to make up for it!

First one in 2001. Every year since so 9 so far. Double figures next year.

Plus two Classics and two Pre Qual/Test Weekends.

Oh, and four Sebrings.

As Andy put it, it's made a big difference to my life, bonding closer with frineds who I have introduced to it and making new ones from near and far who I now class as some of my closest friends

First year in 1998, and then every one since. That'll be 12 for me as well then !!
