It would of been ok if it wasn't for waiting 2 hours to get out of one of the fields to get home. Real pisstake, ruined the whole day really.

Didn't seem to be the caliber of cars there have been at previous years.

There was a seriously naughty rx7 on the track though. Destroyed everything else.

The RX7 was great. At one stage it had a stupidly fast Scoobi chasing it. Could catch it on the straight but kept losing it on corners! The RX7 did help keep me interested

First iv'e missed in a few years...glad i missed those queues though ! That sounds ridiculous, im sure the promoters will be busy reading emails from annoyed customers for the next couple of weeks . Did they limit the number of gates open or something ? There are usually plenty of directions to get in depending on where your stand is.

Were there as many cars as last year at the show ?

It was my first Japfest and to be honest I enjoy it except the queue to get in ](*,) I left about 4 so didnt get any traffic at all.
