Was nice meeting some of the Fanatics, and seeing old faces again.
Thanks Flash for keeping me company when everyone else wandered off :thumbs:

Hello Fanatics,
If you feel anything like I do today I imagine you are somewhere in the clouds!!!:rollsmile:
Quick update:
Between a manual count and the barcode system we used we had 446 cars on the track yesterday. Strange bit is we had 529 registrations, so there were a pile of people who didn't pitch. No matter though, I think 446 is epic in any book, and hopefully a book with the name 'Guinness' on the front...
From here though that number may not be recognised as official. Because of the ridiculous rules that Guinness put down, we have to go through all the evidence and footage and present our claim to them on a number that meets every single one of them (following distance is the biggie as many drivers didn't keep with the pack) From what we looked at yesterday, we should be able to make a claim for somewhere between 200 and 300, then the small number of 178 starts to make a little more sense...
Personally though, the Guinness side of things means far less to me than the sight of all those BMWs on one race track. The atmosphere yesterday was awesome and a day I will remember for years to come. Well done and thank you to each and every person that participated, we could not have done it without you.:ty:
I will keep you updated with help we need with evidence as soon as we have our ducks in a row tomorrow. Hangover mixed with tired body and state of euphoria means I don't think I will be doing much work today...:nonono:
Have a great Sunday.
