Being frank, the busier both the FoS and the Revival have gotten, the less I have enjoyed them. Perhaps it is an age thing but I can see why something different would have more appeal.

couldn't agree more.... the days when FoS & Revival weren't as busy as the MM is today are a fond memory. GRRC's showcase events are a victim of their own success.

We tried various hospitality tickets over the years, and found that each subsequent year seemed to be a little less special & slightly poorer value than before.

& I found it remarkable that as a Member at the Revival last year, with a roving grandstand ticket, I couldn't sit & see the chicane/start/finish straight - it was all sold to corporates.

if we go to FoS or Revival at all, we've got into the habit of arriving when the gates open, and leaving when it's too busy to enjoy - which was around noon at last year's FoS!
& that's hardly getting good value from the event tickets.

Arriving earey, and taking a wander around the Paddocks is special though - last year I found myself chatting to a bloke who built the Brabham GP car he was taking the cover off... and describing how they used to run out of Araldite glue in the middle of putting the car together, and running down to the local hardware store to buy more!
(changed days!)
