I havent had time to check the programme properly yet, but if I only do one day, it will be the day with the best powerboat racing schedule!!
Will have a proper look in the next day or two and get a bit organised!

Oh yea, in Liverpool 1 shopping area, Cholmondeley have a shop and are offering a discount on tickets. Can't remember how much.
The other interesting comment made by the bod on the P.A system as they were setting up stuff. That their aim for Cholmondeley is to be as bigger and if not better than Goodwood! ?
What does everyone think?

No. 31 - wedge a Napier W12 aero engine into a Bentley chassis. Add a coach built body. Result = seat of your pants racing ;D

They will really need to sort out better ways of crossing the track than last year if they are increasing visitor numbers.
Whilst I really enjoyed the day and like the crossover with cars, boats and helicopters, it has a fair way to go before it comes close to Goodwood.
Plus - how are you going to persuade all those la di dahs to come up north - even to Cheshire!

Found out who owns the cars,
he's from East London ::) Andreas Panayiotou, and his group of companies - The Ability Group.
only 40 and worth a few squid, oh and also owns the Hilton in Liverpool where the event was run from.
Think I better start working harder if I want anything like that, not even sure if I could even afford a room for the night at the Hilton, come to think of it may struggle for the price of a pint of beer there!!!! ::)
But with all this riches, money and toys, is he really happy???? :-X
