I would also like to give a big vote of thanks to the flaggies who stand out in the weather all day long and cannot get to see any of the pit action because of where they are. They do a marvellous and sometimes thankless job but we wouldn't have any races without them and their commitment.

I have friend who owns a Lamborghini Aventador and he just loves letting people sit in it to have their photos taken. It is amazing the number of older women who are keen to have their photos taken sitting in the car. And the grins on peoples faces when they get out says it all. Yes that would give kids something to tell their mates at school.
