Time was when I would have got excited about all these issues (although my memories of Silverstone involve more sunburn than rain).
This year, for the first year in many, I went to a VSCC raceday, the new meet at Brands Hatch; and I was content. No particularly close racing, no crashes, no corporate hospitality, no advertising logos on every car surface, no eternal debating of the regulations or despairing for the future, no processions on tramlines, just the noise of Morgan engines, the smell of burnt castor oil, unfettered access to the paddock, and a whole bunch of happy people.
