Went Saturday. Weather could have been better didnt really notice the show had been moved back a month it was still freezing! Great variety of cars and some differing levels of driving ability on display on the stage. One of the Beams departed with broken steering after hitting a curb. Sadly the first run was curtailed after someone in the grandstand was taken ill and the only ambulance on site had to take them to hospital, hope it wasn't too serious. Second run of the Grp cars was much better with Stig in the "Pikes Peak" Quattro who seemed a gear up on Michelle on most of the corners and Gary Midwinter's Sport Quattro creating a superb noise. Really loved the 037 in Olio Fiat colours even though it was driven very steadily. Sad for the guys in the two Maxi R5 Turbos who as in previous years spluttered around and at one point konked out! Crowd started to thin away mid way thru the run as it was getting really cold but from my perspective this display is the main reason to go to Stoneleigh. As for the show better than last year for me but can understand why some people appear to be charging high prices when a basic shell/stand costs over a grand!

By the way did the Marlboro and Belga RS200s run on Sunday or were they just statics like the two 205 T16s and the Delta S4?
