Free museum entry will be a nice change, must have spent quite a bit over the years, last went 2 years ago so expecting a few changes

It was much the same this year Simon as I remembered from 5-6 years ago, just a few newer specimens near the end. Still it kept my lad occupied for a couple of hours!

I've never been! This could be the excuse I've been waiting for. I may have a newbie with me this year too.

It's definitely worth doing every ten years or so - certainly if you've never been and even more certainly if it's free!

I've only been twice. Once about 5 years ago and again this year, and with the exception of some of the cars at the extrance and exit of the museum, it was exactly the same. Interesting, but not enough to hold my attention for more than an hour and a half. But a must if you've never been before.

I've been to the museum just once, maybe 5 years ago? Enjoyed it, didn't begrudge a cent of the admission price, and if it's free this year with my ticket may well go again. There are some lovely bits - Mrs Isynge was particularly struck by the Jean Rondeau story - the win, the tilting at windmills, the lovely 482, and the tragically early end - all of which is really nicely put together.

90 minutes is plenty for it - and let's face it, even with vast sprawling museums like the V&A where there's content to comfortably fill 90 times 90 minutes, you don't want to consume that all at once.

News here on more resurfacing works, and some tarmac runoff at the end of the Corvette curve gravel trap.

Also, a combined Porsche Carrera Cup France and GB filed will be one of the support races.
