Event date: 21 August 2022

What a great day with Jo, Graeme, Tim O & John S. I started out pretty chilly, then sun baked us for a few hours, then it was jackets on to beat the cool breeze.

We got General Admission tickets with paddock passes (I was just there for the Sunday). I didn’t stray from the grandstand/western areas. Mixing it up between watching some great on-track action, checking out the show n shine display (by the Cruiser group), perusing the merch (how well would a BMWDCM stall go? Amongst all that GM & blue oval gear? [Tim’s idea!]), feeding my face. Getting access to the car prep areas was really interesting (Paddock pass), I’ll opt for that again. 

Graeme was madly rushing around on scrutineering duties and Jo was keeping us safe from race cars as they returned to the paddock (lots of whistle blowing).

Lots of great conversations, sharing stories, meeting new members and enjoying our club-stuff.

When my husband said we were offered tickets to the supercar event at Sandown my first thought was…. Oh how boring! But I went along and wow what a great day we had. 

I was blown away by the production of it all. The set up of each different race category was huge and the technology and equipment to support each car was unbelievable. I even asked questions!

60 cars in one group and they had 14 sets of tyres for each car!!!

They also mentioned they had changed 1160 tires on Friday WOW 

The crowd was buzzing which created an awesome atmosphere.

I couldn’t get close enough to watch the start of the supercars. The sound was deafening but exhilarating. 

Slightly different to our club track days but an event I’d be more than happy to attend again.
