Default Brands Hatch Festival of Porsche

I'm in England for work and found out from a friend that this http://www.festivalofporsche.com is happening next weekend. Happy coincidence! Any Rennlisters going?

@Barn996 - thanks. Yes it was a fantastic day out! My favorite parts were:
1. The sheer number of Porsches (both in the parking lot and on-display) - I have never seen as many Porsches in one place before and that includes when I was in Zuffenhausen!
2. The fact that the "liquid metal cobalt blue" paint on the 919 Spyder hybrid alone costs $60k!
3. I got to experience a couple of laps in the back seat of a Panamera S. It goes like the clappers but the back seats lack good side support...

Nice! Thanks for sharing. The parking area shots give you a sense for the sheer number of Porsches in attendance. On a cinematic note, it appears that slomo is the new shallow depth of field -sigh-

I think Top Gear can be blamed for the slow-mo...they've been pumping that well for years.
