I also fail to see how the Renault F1 team can be poncing around at donny whilst also competing in the Italian GP, but there you go.

they did the same last year Tom, The Renault F1 team is quite a large organisation lol, at every F1 race they have this stand that will be at Donny, where you do a meet and greet with the drivers, get to look at two of the current F1 cars (usually the cars built for testing) and when i say look, that is exactly what i mean cos they don't let you too close to them lol

They also start one of them up every 30 mins or so (takes 15 mins for them to prepare one for starting!)
You also get to see / meet some of the old drivers for F1.

you also get right up and personal with the other teams that are racing this weekend, sometimes a little too close as i think neal mentioned elsewhere, one of the megane teams last year did not care for the fact that we was all standing there admiring another megane as he tried to run us over, just missing neal in fact.

yep this close!

I think we did well lasting as long as we did that day.
we was hardcore, standing near the spitfire watching the track action at that dodgy corner where the meganes kept spinning off heh

It was only when our jeans had got soaked up to bum level that we decided to leave lol
