2010 F1 Renault (in 2011 colours) driven by Jan Charouz kept 120,000 people entertained. Where else can you see a F1 car driven in anger for free?
Carlos Sainz Jr (sorry I've chopped his nose off - I blame the safety fence posts) competed in the Euro Renault 2.0 series races. Dave immediately announces to Vic: I saw his Dad rallying in the RAC back in the early '90's. Vicky did her best to stay awake but failed.
Josh Hill, son of Damon, and grandson of Graham, raced in the British Renault 2.0 Championship races. Vicky's much more interested in this. Dave saw his grandad race in the F1 Embassy Shadow back in the day. We both saw Damon race but that was on the telly so doesn't really count. Otherwise we could put everyone to sleep by saying we've seen three generations of Hills race.
Ah well.
Very nice 1909 Renault struggles up a gentle incline much to everyone's amusement. Yes, it made it (just). We never doubted it for one second. All in all, the WSR is a great free day out. Roll on next year.
