I was there that day. This was how I spent every weekend in the 1980s and 90s. I lived about 12 miles from Lydden, so it was easy to get there, and my Mrs loved it too. You could see pretty much the whole track from one place. Later we got the Metro 6R4s and the RS200s doing the same thing with Will Gollop etc (he had the Canterbury Saab dealership). There was only rickety chestnut paling fencing between the track and the spectators, so not up to todays safety standards. Great events and a great time to be alive.😁
