We also got talking to the group of people stood at the side of us spectating, and they were sharing their opinions on the fact that they would have liked to have had a walk around the cars etc, so i was passing on this opinion for these guys.
Just to also point out, to other comments from my original post, this was merely my opinion compared to other events I have attended. And as for us all being buddies, or whatever was said (I forgot to quote lol) when I was talking about the Gold Skyline, I was not being biased in any way shape or form, as Dan was driving the Skyline, and Yesterday was the first time I have ever met Dan in my life, and I might add, it was quite briefly as he was obviously out in the car most of the day.
Just a quick note for all behind the scenes .... This is my opinion and a passing opinion from the freinds I had that attended the event, and the public that I got chatting to, nothing to do with Simon in the slightest. |
Hi Carly
Yeah get your point, one of my mates couldnt get to the pits either but rules is rules (I didnt have anything to do with the runing of the day)
In my opinion (and it is only my opinion for what its worth) and I am sure most drivers/teams/health and safety people would agree to have a thousand or more people flow in to the pits would be a nightmare as the pits were full anyway plus cars in a hurry to get on and off the track, it would only be a matter of time before someone got injured then it would be game over for all of us.
An ideal situation would be a barrier between pits and public so the public could see what was going on but unfortunatly due to the layout of teesside that is not realy possible although pit space was provided next to the barriers were the public passed on there way in.
