As I'll be driving solo I won't have anyone to chat to, as such. My son and his partner will be in our small convoy so we can chat on the phone if we need/want to. Back in the day we used to use 2-3 cars and later graduated to a minibus. Our largest group was 15 in 2008. Our (now sadly departed) 'Chief Tourist' was at the time the director of a local football club, so we enjoyed strange glances as this bunch of relatively old boys traveling down in the youth team bus....
2010 was actually my 'breakaway' year when I went with a friend (who I knew from Tenths). For 24 years I had only done the long weekend and I'd been itching for years to get to the circuit for practice and qualifying. Most of the years since we've been there not only in time for that, but also for the two days of scrutineering in the town as well. Last year we did the Test Day as well.
