Definitely, however I'll be surprised if there are any tickets left

looks like general admission tickets are still available but not grandstand tickets

I've just got a couple of tickets for the 23rd..

I hope the Mrs likes what I've done for our 19th wedding anniversary, a trip to Goodwood followed by the Moto GP at Donnington

Thanks for the tips all, just got my tickets for the Sunday

Rumour has it the Moto GP may be shown on the big screens, hope so or I'm going to have to avoid hearing the reult all day till I get home to sky+

I went 2 years ago on the saturday, I loved it. The queue of traffic gettin in was a nightmare, managed about 2 miles in about an hour and half but it was WELL worth it!! the day kicked off with an F-15 fly by and then it jut got better and better!! The fact that I wasnt driving meant I could take advantage of the mobile beer man (duff man oh yeah!)...NICE... you'll have a great day.

I've only ever been on the Friday (free tickets, you see) and had a very enjoyable time.

The only thing to point out with the kids, is that you might not get too close to the F1 stars, as they generally get mobbed when they're near their cars!

Nigel Mansell nearly did himself injury last year running away from fans! However, it is a totally relaxed atmosphere and your kids will love it- they'll even get to sit in the F1 cars- well I did a couple of years ago! Don't think Toseland is performing this year though, shame as that was a great performance last year. And Bayliss won't be there this year, as he has too many committments but is "gutted" as he loved it there.

Will post some of my better pics on here later on!

Thought I'd try and book somewhere local to stay and make a weekend of it...looks like I should have thought of doing this months ago

Chichester and surrounding areas is full
There is no room at the Inn
Even Butlins is chocka

Looks like an early start

I've seen better ways of asking for a divorce!

I went on the Friday last year, it was brilliant...met Troy Corser and Chris Vermulen and Randy Mamolan, saw Allen Prost and a few other famous people too. It wasnt too bad wandering around, plenty of space...but the only bad thing was getting there...go on the bike if you can...oh and if you do drive, leave early or until very late, because its a terrible place to get out of.
