    Day 28 - Festival of Speed Friday

    July 14, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

    It was our second day attending the Festival of Speed, and we arrived much earlier than yesterday. This earlier start paid off as we had much less traffic and could park closer to the entry gate.

    After getting into the event, we looked over some of the car displays. The Lotus Eletre looked just like any other SUV, not an actual Lotus from my perspective. Polstar had a nice looking roadster on display, which could easily be my next roadster. The Ineos Grenadier looked more Land Rover Defender than the Land Rover Defender. The new Ineos Grenadier Quarterback Ute should be a hit in Australia.

    The weather was wet today, so we spent a lot of time undercover in the grandstands. However, when the rain lifted, we walked up to the top of the hill to see the Forest Rally Stage, the Off-Road event and the finish line for the Hillclimb. It was another great day, and I look forward to going again tomorrow.
