Sorry, but it was hidden next to a large hankerchief rather than being on the BMW stand - although I think I did see you on my way home, as there was a Sepang Z4R eastbound on the A50 at about 2:30pm.
We got their at 7am, briefing started at 7:30am for clubs to start arriving at 8am and the public from 10am.
At 7:25am we got told that the 'briefing' would be short as no-one knew what was happening and cars were already being let through (clubs & public), and we should just take a map and try to sort it out on the ground. This meant we just shot past the queues of traffic and parked up close to our allocated marshalling spots.
Unfortunately my spot was between some knob in a Mini Cooper who insisted on blipping the throttle constantly for 6 hours, and a modified Renault 5 (with Sagaris-like exhausts) who blasted out his s**t music on all day.
Pity there wasn't a better 'itinerary' for the day, as people kept asking us 'officials' and we had no clue either
We also didn't get much of an update on the potential investors/leasors - other than it'll cost £1.5m to get the track back to how it was, and there are 5 parties interested in keeping it as a functioning track - and 20 interested in some other sort of development.
Highlights of the day were 1) that white-haired/wigged girl with the hot pink hotpants and fishnets; 2) the two grid/paddock girls in tight white t-shirts and tight black hotpants;
Lowlight was seeing the state of the track.
BTW, when I arrived it was -5ºC, and it was +6.5ºC when I left.

Is this yours?
It wasn't me on the A50 at 230pm, I left at about 11am! My car was parked opposite the TVRs for a couple of hours but I'm sure you would have mentioned it if you spotted it.
I saw the 'highlights' of the day too!
We walked past the R5 with its silly bodykit and there were a couple of Minis doing the blipping thing too. Must have been about 1015am (when I spotted your car also).

Yes, that's mine - and you can still see the frost in the shade under the passenger door.
I was one of the orange crew at the top of that little road/track (from about 7:30am to 11:45am). Then we got fed up being stuck in one spot so a couple of us had a wander for a couple of hours.

It was a show of support for Donington, after the debacle that was the Donington British Grand Prix bid.
