I was watching on sky and it looked fooking cold, by the end of the event there were a lot more empty seats than when it had started so am guessing the cold got to people. Must say the aston's sounded awesome

The organisers were saying the health and saftey over here had made the job harder than in france but at least they were helpful and tried to help solve the issues and concerns

we paid £25,
and were half way  up in the stadium ,until we moved down 30 rows into some empty seats, the high up seats were ok, but nearer was better...
the stadium was 2/3 full., was a good but LONG event,we were well wrapped up against the weather,it was sheltered from the cold wind by the hight and roof,
astons were awesome and the f1 car demo laps, loudest was the dtm cars,
all in all a good petrol fest, but 5 hours is way too long,the stadium is awesome,

On a tangent, I still think Wembley was a discusting waste of money for what they finally produced.

I used to have a site I visited just down the road in Neasden and regularly heard stories of various cock-ups through locally employed contractors.

I would've been sacked if I was project managing that atrosity.

Yeah but what about the comotion backstage as the cars were swapped after schumacher wanting the yellow car that one the previous round rather than the red car he had lost in. Originally they were supposed to run the solution f's then the roc buggies and then the abarth fiats but im guessing the fact schumy stalled his fiat in an earlier race had them remove that car from the final and seeing as he wasnt allowed todrive the aston or the focus due to his ferrari contract it left the solution f

art b

he should have gone with the red car then,

the yellow one spun out[couldnt have been him... ]
