Dave you are right for true enthusiasts Oulton Park will be more rewarding and although I have not been there yet by all accounts will look fwd to competing at the Festival, however if Octagon are after numbers thru the turnstile a well organised Festival at Silverstone would get more corporate entertaining which Goodwood do so well. Which leads into Zeferally's point abt being a victim of its own success! It is true that certain aspects of it make it more theatre than racing but overall I think it works and equally the club meetings do but on a different level. I was at the same Thruxton meeting (if it was the one with the Batmobile) and it was a great afternoon's entertainment, especially the Healeys!
