Last time we parked in the regular car park then walked up to the main showground (takes about 2 minutes if that). Had a look round the cars on display, in particular the 406 coupes, and bought parts from Ade who was there with his low mileage V6. Then went over to watch the track; there's a good view because of the steepness.
There's catering from a purpose built hut (burgers and chips IIRC) and what I saw of it, it looked like decent stuff. I don't think they'd tolerate a barbecue
Later in the day it seemed like a good idea to have a go up the hill, so we did
then parked in the showground. That's where these pictures are. Midsdaz is bending my spanners fitting the strut brace that Alberto got from Ade.

It was a really good day out. Relaxed and friendly, you could take your time to talk to people, and there was time to see everything.
As you might expect from a car show, the main focus is in small fast modified cars, but there wasn't the 'boy racer attitude' that I thought there was at FCS; more like enthusiast/expert. The 406 coupes were out in force last year -- about 20 I'd say. I found the hill track much more interesting than a regular race track, especially seeing lots of different types of cars attempting it.
Highly recommended.
