Was it as packed as the previous Saywell day or did the weather/time of year keep some of the crowds away?

It was busy, as the Supercar convoy from Surrey/London didn't arrive until 10:15 so they ended up in the overflow.
But Paddock 1, where a lot of the Supercars normally parked, was quite empty as they had 2 or 3 transporters there for the Ferrari's
It was not as busy as this time last year which, was at full capacity.
There did seem to be more un-supervised kids with ipads running around getting over excited though.
I shouldn't get too annoyed though, as I would of been the same had technology been around in my day as a 12-16 year old.
It beats cycling around town with your 110 camera in your pocket looking for 80's 911's and Lotus Esprit on driveways, and a new white 1981 XR2 in the Ford showroom being your highlight of the walk to school.
When we came back at 1:30pm they still had marshalls on the gate. They directed us back in to the control tower car park which was still full. We knew the paddock was emptying out, so snuck around him and parked near enough where I was in the morning.
