No photos as battery was dying but some turn out and some serious plant although the r32 gtr still is hard to beat and I was besotted with the white sls as that would be my first purchase after a lottery win

Not long back from this. A lot more car’s at it than I expected there to be and some very nice ones at that. Some very questionable “supercars” in the line up.

Serious turnout, which is great for the charity and overall an enjoyable Sunday afternoon out.

Disappointed that I couldn’t get a run in one of the cars, card machine died and I didn’t have enough cash on me.

I thought that was really good and a solid foundation to improve next year or whatever. One of the highlights to me was one of the lambos coming round a corner sideways with a passenger. What a hero lol.

 

[Martyn]

I couldn’t believe the number of people there.

Good basis of a yearly event but I think they need to think a little more about how to arrange the show-car’s and how the public views them.

Was a little surprised the cars went out on the track with the pit lane barriers open and the public still crossing.

Not long back myself, some serious machinery at it and being driven properly, also some random stuff like Golfs gti’s? Lots of M cars too trying to have a go at the big stuff.

Stand out cars for pace where the mclarens, those 720s are seriously fast. Best sounding was the matt black Ferrari f12 berlinetta and of course the r8 v10s are always impressive, litchfield GTR was also quick and the grey tuned R32. Would definitely go back next year.

The guys driving the 911 turbo and the black Hurrcan were really going for it.

With some better organisation and additional attractions this could be a great annual event

I’ve a few fly by videos but can’t seem to upload them

 

[vtec1]

Even a random Passat cc in the convoy

Great day out and fantastic crowd.

Better organisation for the track would be an improvement, but can appreciate they probably weren’t expecting today’s turnout.

 

[gpaevo]

Stream of those cars just past my work on Ormeau road. Must all be heading to something in city centre.

 

[Phil_D]

Cracking day out, some proper machinery there, took a few people round the track in the Sag which was mucho enjoyable

Exactly my thoughts it was great in principle but the paddock layout / organisation wasn't particularly on point with regards to cars coming in and out and pedestrian safety. That aside, some absolutely amazing machinery, especially that Enzo...colour imo is lovely.

 

[Lyons]

Gutted I didn’t go now

 

[Gaz]

Great turnout!

 

[Jonny_W]

Looked to be a great day out although I don’t get some cars heading out on the track.

Purely for the crack I’d say and sure why the hell not.
I was there with my mates 14 year old son and he immediately B lined for the old Skylines, barely even looked at anything else

Passed a convoy of these this morning outside Banbridge. Good variety of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. A pleasant surprise on an otherwise boring road.

 

[combergti]

Wasn't expecting to see so many cars at it. Must've been a good amount raised for the charities. One way to improve would be a way of getting the public in and out of the pit area without having to close the track

 

[Burt2000]

Would that not require a footbridge? Can’t see the owners forking out for that.

 

[KevM]

Not if they are only doing single laps?

From memory, the pit exits to the end of the start/finish straight & there is a pit entry from the back chicane.

I don't know what layout they were using today but the carpark was always across the track before the pit exits?

I was chatting to the owner of the SLS, he was a really lovely guy. Opened it up and let me and my son get in to have a look around it. Gorgeous thing.

Yes and probably not

Ive a pedestrian bridge advertised on bridgesforsale.co.uk, would do the owners of the circuit a very fair deal in the name of motorsport if they ever decide to go down that route..

Gutted I missed this, some very impressive super cars but I have to admit I fall into the old skool category.

Good effort & hopefully it turns into an annual thing

Yes that was what they were doing today. Just seemed to take a long time. I appreciate the organisers where surprised at the volume of people today. Hopefully it'll become an annual event though.
